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 blends SUV-inspired design with practical hatchback credentials. 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 genuine versatility. The bold, divisive styling gives it a sleek, coupé-like appearance with a sloping roofline, whilst the 380-litre boot with variable-height floor and 60/40 split rear seats ensure excellent practicality for families. The cabin prioritises comfort with straightforward climate controls and a user-friendly design that sets it apart from rivals.

The C4 excels in comfort, with a loosely sprung ride that absorbs rough road surfaces with ease, whilst the electric e-C4 delivers superior refinement and seamless acceleration. Running costs are competitive, with the diesel achieving around 50 mpg in real-world driving and the petrol averaging 40-45 mpg. The e-C4 costs less than £7 for a full charge from a home wallbox, equating to just over 4p per mile. However, the infotainment system is fiddly, finance costs lack competitiveness, and it doesn't match rivals for driving dynamics or luggage space. It's a sensible, charming family car that does nothing exceptionally well but ticks all the common-sense boxes.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical, comfortable family hatchback with distinctive styling, and those interested in an affordable electric option with genuine range.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising maximum luggage space, intuitive infotainment systems, or engaging driving dynamics, or those seeking the most competitive finance deals.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the C4 if: You're seeking a practical, comfortable family hatchback with distinctive styling, value for money, and are interested in an affordable electric option with genuine range.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum luggage space, intuitive infotainment systems, engaging driving dynamics, or the most competitive finance deals.

Competitive Position: The Citroën C4 (2020-present) is a competent middle-of-the-pack family hatchback that does nothing much wrong but nothing exceptionally well either. Whilst it offers genuine style and practicality at a competitive price, the Volkswagen Golf edges ahead with superior driving dynamics and infotainment, whilst the Ford Focus delivers better handling. The Peugeot 2008 provides a similar design philosophy with comparable practicality. However, the C4's unique styling, comfortable ride, and triple powertrain options—including an affordable electric variant—make it an appealing choice for those valuing individuality and versatility over outright class leadership.
