That said, like many Citroen models, the screen isn’t as responsive to inputs as we’d like. Moreover, the menus can be tricky to understand and navigate, and the system is also slower to load than some rivals. All versions include a head-up display as standard to display important information within the driver’s line of sight.
“The head-up display isn’t projected onto the windscreen, but rather a piece of perspex that rises above the digital instrument cluster. It’s a more cost-effective way of achieving the same result.” – Max Adams, Online reviews editor
More luggage space than the hatch, but Citroen e-C4 X’s smaller boot opening makes loading awkward
| Pros |

Citroen’s Advanced Comfort Suspension setup is offered as standard, using hydraulic bump stops to help smooth out the ride over rougher roads. The focus on comfort and convenience is evident elsewhere, with all versions getting a height and reach-adjustable steering wheel, heated power-folding door mirrors, automatic headlights and wipers, and rear parking sensors. A central front armrest and two cup holders also feature, with split-folding rear seats adding to the e-C4 X’s overall practicality.
Dimensions and size
Styling is subjective, and what really matters are the numbers. That fastback shape means the e-C4 X is 4,580mm long – 225mm more than the hatch. The pair share an identical wheelbase, which means all of that extra metalwork is behind the rear axle. The result is a significant increase in boot space.

Seats & passenger space
Room upfront for the driver and passenger in the Citroen e-C4 X is fine. However, while those in the rear will find it provides excellent legroom, headroom can feel a little tight due to its rakish roofline. This only really impacts taller occupants and is no worse than rivals, though
Boot space
The saloon rear end of the e-C4 X actually serves up more boot space than its hatchback sibling, with a generous 510 litres to play with. The load bay is also a fairly regular shape, and there’s an extra cubby under the floor to hold the charging cable. The rear seats can fold (they leave quite a pronounced step, though), which means that it’s possible to load longer items into a volume that expands to 1,360 litres.
