New-look C4 and C4 X to be hybrid or EV only

THE Citroen C4 hatchback and C4 X saloon have received bold makeovers to reflect the firm's latest brand identity that was introduced by the new C3 and the e-C3, Auto Express's Car of the Year for 2024.

Both models get the same complex front-end treatment, which features the fresh 16cm-tall Citroen chevron badge, a new LED daytime running light signature, and lighting seen on the Oli concept in 2022.

The front bumper now has less black plastic, a new grille pattern and faux skid-plate section, while the side cladding has been tweaked to make the cars look longer. The chrome finish has been axed, but the C3's customisable 'colour clips' are fitted to the front and sides. Eclipse Blue and Manhattan Green paint options have also been introduced.

The C4's tail-lights are mounted lower than on the outgoing model and light stripes are now integrated into the black bar, which features 'Citroen' lettering. The C4 X has the same rear design as before.

Inside, the C4 and C4 X have new seven-inch digital dials plus a 10-inch touchscreen running Citroen's latest infotainment software. There's also wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The redesigned 'Advanced Comfort' seats have an extra 15mm of foam and a denser centre section.

Up to 20 driver-assistance systems are available, ranging from blind-spot monitoring to 'Highway Driver Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control and lane-departure warning for Level 2 semi-autonomous driving.

The updated Citroen C4 and C4 X will arrive early next year with hybrid or pure-electric power; pure-petrol engines have been removed from the cars' line-ups as part of this facelift.

Hybrid models have a turbocharged 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine. For the Hybrid 100 set-up only used by the entry-level C4, it produces 99bhp and 205Nm of torque. But in the Hybrid 136 form that's offered in the C4 and C4 X, the unit delivers 134bhp and 230Nm of torque.
