Citroën 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 Citroën C4 (2020-present) is a stylish family hatchback that combines practical design with distinctive looks. Available with a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine in two power outputs, a 1.5-litre diesel, and a pure electric powertrain offering up to 217 miles of range, it provides versatility for different driving needs. The bold, SUV-inspired styling with a sloping roofline gives it a sleek, coupe-like appearance that sets it apart from conventional rivals. The 380-litre boot features a variable-height floor and 60/40 split rear seats, whilst the spacious rear seats offer more legroom than many competitors.

Comfort is the C4's defining characteristic, with a loosely sprung ride that absorbs rough road surfaces with ease and a well-designed cabin featuring straightforward climate controls. The electric e-C4 delivers the best driving experience with seamless acceleration and superior refinement, whilst the petrol and diesel options are competent and economical. Real-world fuel economy is competitive, with the diesel achieving around 50 mpg and the petrol approximately 40-45 mpg. The e-C4 costs less than £7 for a full charge from a home wallbox, making it an economical choice. Running costs are generally affordable, though finance options could be more competitive due to residual value considerations.

Best for: Buyers seeking a distinctive, comfortable family hatchback with practical space, those interested in electric motoring, and drivers prioritising value and affordability. Not ideal for: Those requiring the most luggage space, drivers wanting the latest infotainment technology, or buyers seeking the sharpest handling dynamics.

The Verdict

You should buy the C4 if: You want a distinctive, comfortable family hatchback with practical space, you're interested in electric motoring, or you're seeking value and affordability.
