    My brother has the older model, and loves it, does motorway miles every day for work and says he often gets over the estimated range (albeit not by a lot) having driven it briefly, it was a very comfy drive.

    Don’t forget that a bit of body roll can give you a bit more grip in corners. Citroën is good at that… (+50 yrs experience)

      Never heard that –
      A little body roll is fine for road cars, but excessive roll can compromise grip and handling. For high-performance driving, minimizing body roll improves control and tire contact with the road.

      @Greatdane-qf8kd  Everything about cars are compromises, especially chassis. A hard setup is preferable on reasonably even surfaces like racing tracks. On the other hand, normal road cars has a completely different task to handle; changeing load/weights distributed randomly, uneven undulating roads, different driving styles and shifting surface conditions, wet, dry, icy and snowy and so on. To optimise road holding properties, a more all round setup must be applied. A softer setup can distribute the weight between the four corners better than a stiffer setup when dealing with uneven surfaces. A track racer could never survive a rally stage, nor will a rally car be especially competitive on a asphalt race track, I’m pretty sure. Those are my thoughs based on my own experiences and my technical interest in motorsports.

      Strange that the e-c4 is reliable when everything else from the Stellantis Corporation is struggling with quality and reliability issues. Most of the built-in chargers only last 2-4 years and cost between 12-18.000 € to replace. Especially all the Fiat’s and Peugeot/Jeep have been struggling with this. If I were you, I would exchange your 3 year old “catastrophe in waiting” immediately and buy a new one before this happens. I have driven Citroën half my life, (CX, XM, C6) but I no longer trust the brand.

      – have a small scratch on the battery = warranty refused!

    My wife did exactly 8,000 miles per year in ours (charging at home), it cost us about £250 per year to run. Zero road tax and £99 for a service! How can you go wrong? Plus you can buy a second hand low mileage one for around £12,000

    USB-A is usable for any phone. You seem to be like my wife, who gets confused between the difference of a port type and a cable type. It makes no difference. USB-a 3.0 ports can also implement the USB Power Delivery Specification, which allows for charging at up to 100 W.

      The larger usb A is more mechanically robust and a lot of the multi port adapters plug in via a physically larger A adapter .. the same problem crops up with the female components in the devices/cars.. really annoying if you have to start fiddling to get it to make contact or stay in the socket to do whatever and slightly concerning/limiting with higher charging rates .. 🤔

      @@NoName-md5zb It’s a 2021 model e-C4. The age indicator on the plates in the UK are changed every 6 months, 2x for March to August and 7x for September to Feb. So a 71 plate means the care was registered between Sept 21 and Feb 22. A car registered today would be 74. 25 plates will be issued from 1st march 25 onwards. Confusing, I know.

    Ginny you don’t have to use the HUD. It can be switched off so the perspex screen doesn’t rise up. I does make the driver ‘s screen a bit busy though. Having driven an original EC4 for 3 years and now driving an EC4X, I found the HUD is really practical especially if you are using the speed limiter. Oh and the boot opening on the X is exactly the same as the hatch with the parcel shelf in place. Doesn’t look like it but I measured it.

    What strange review? She complains about the head up display showing the same things than the display. The whole point of head up displays is not having to take the eyes of the road not showing other information… Then she complains about bad visibility when someone stuffs so much stuff in the boot that it raises the parcel shelve…

    I have the ë-C4 for 3 years now. Reliable, easy to use, efficient (yes, even the old version). A great car for everyday use. The only thing I’m missing is real one pedal driving.
    If I had to buy a new car today, the ë-C4 would be again one of my top picks.
    But if you are looking for a sporty car, look elsewhere!

    Hi . I have the older version and I think the head up display is a must.. It puts up the cruise control setting up there which is very handy and I don’t need to look down very often at all. the missing rear wiper is more of a thing, I would use it if there was 1 , but not had a problem . Loads of room in the back, the hand hold on the roof are too easy to bump your head on, as you get in. The rear camera get very dirty ,very quickly, so wipe it when you plug it in. Then enjoy just wafting along. this thing just rolls along with minimal effort so the bigger battery will be helpful as you just don’t need to stop. Hope this helps after leaving with it for 6 months.

    I’m 1 year, nigh on 8000 miles deep on a 23MY one registered in 2024. It’s been absolutely faultless – range dips in winter obviously but not obtrusively. Winter range is better than my parent’s Mokka-e by some significant margin. No rattles, proving better built than my previous Mazda CX-30 that rattled like a garden shed. Enough performance for any moment you might want of it. All the safety systems are there but aren’t *too* annoying, probably one of the least intrusive set ups I’ve driven with.

    It’s fairly basic as EVs go but I bought mine for around £24.5k – a car that should list at nearly £35k. It was genuinely cheaper than leasing on a no deposit, interest free PCP at the time so I treat it like a glorified lease. It’s just a nice place to be.
