Citroen C4 (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
The C4 offers something genuinely different to most hatchback rivals	The likes of the Skoda Octavia have more luggage space
Affordable to buy and run	The infotainment system is fiddly
Plenty of room for the whole family	Finance costs could be more competitive

Quick Summary

The Citroen C4 (2020-present) is a stylish family hatchback offered with 1.2-litre petrol, 1.5-litre diesel, and pure electric powertrains (e-C4 with up to 217 miles range). Its design blends SUV cues with a sleek, coupe-like roofline, giving it a distinctive and often divisive appearance. The C4 aims to prioritise comfort and original design, featuring a neat cabin and a comfortable, if loosely sprung, ride that expertly soaks up road imperfections.

Practicality is good, with ample rear legroom and a 380-litre boot. Running costs are competitive, with petrol models averaging 40-45mpg and diesels around 50mpg. The e-C4 offers low per-mile costs, especially with off-peak charging. While the infotainment system can be fiddly and finance costs could be more competitive, the C4 offers generous equipment, good value, and a competent, charming driving experience, making it a solid choice in the segment.

Best for: Drivers seeking a comfortable, practical, and uniquely styled family hatchback with a choice of petrol, diesel, or electric powertrains, and good value for money.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising class-leading driving dynamics or an intuitive infotainment system, those seeking the most competitive finance deals, or those needing maximum boot/passenger space compared to rivals like the Skoda Octavia.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the C4 if: You're looking for a comfortable, practical, and uniquely styled family hatchback with a wide choice of powertrains (including electric), offering good value for money.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise class-leading driving dynamics, a more refined infotainment system, or require the absolute maximum in passenger and boot space for the class.

Competitive Position: The Citroen C4 stands out in the family hatchback segment with its distinctive SUV-inspired styling, focus on comfort, and versatile range of petrol, diesel, and electric powertrains. While it might not lead the class in driving excitement or infotainment usability, its competitive pricing, generous equipment, and overall practicality make it a charming and competent choice, particularly for those seeking something different from the mainstream.
