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 aesthetics with conventional hatchback practicality. 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, coupe-like appearance with a sloping roofline, whilst the 380-litre boot with variable-height floor and 60/40 split rear seats ensures excellent practicality for families. The cabin prioritises comfort with straightforward climate controls and a user-friendly design that sets it apart from rivals.

Comfort is the C4's defining characteristic, with a loosely sprung ride that absorbs rough road surfaces with ease and a refined driving experience across all powertrains. The pure electric e-C4 delivers the best driving experience with seamless acceleration and superior refinement, whilst remaining one of the more comfortable EVs available. 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 agility or luggage space.

Best for: Budget-conscious families seeking a comfortable, practical hatchback with distinctive styling, those wanting electric motoring without premium pricing, and drivers prioritising comfort over driving dynamics.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking maximum luggage space, those wanting the best infotainment systems, or drivers prioritising sharp handling and driving engagement.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the C4 if: You're seeking a comfortable, practical family hatchback with distinctive styling, want affordable electric motoring, or prioritise comfort over driving dynamics.

Consider alternatives if: You need maximum luggage space, want the best infotainment systems, or prioritise sharp handling and driving engagement.

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, practicality, and comfort at competitive prices, the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf deliver superior driving dynamics and user experience. The Citroën's unique appeal lies in its distinctive design and comfortable ride, making it an excellent choice for families prioritising comfort and value. However, if you can find a good deal or genuinely love the C4's bold looks, it's a very competent and peculiarly charming family car.
