The e-C4 X's styling is unusual, to say the least, for despite having the swoopy lines of a fastback, this car is actually a sedan. It features double LED head lights, a sculpted bonnet and fenders, and unique taillights that each have a two-line signature. Equally odd is how you need to press and hold the 'Engine Start Stop' button to turn on the car. Obviously, there's no internal combustion engine and being an electric car, shouldn't a single quick press do the trick?
The rear seats feel as cushy as the front seats, with adequate legroom for someone up to 1.75m tall. The seat backs, however, are relatively low, so taller folks might not be too comfy here. That said, having rear air-con vents and two USB ports does make the space useful as well. A car with a pillowy ride and light steering needs an equally gentle powertrain and Citroen delivered this, too. If the thought of immediate acceleration is deterring you from an EV, then the e-C4 X might change your mind.
While that might be a bummer for those used to stronger regenerative forces, first-time EV drivers and owners may still prefer mainly using the brake pedal to slow down and stop the car. In this regard, the e-C4 X feels like an ICE model.
