    Verdict<\/h2>\n

    The 54kWh battery, improved electric motor and standard-fit heat pump make the updated e-C4 worth considering over the original version. Those after increased range, and greater consistency in its delivery all the year round, will be better served than those wanting punchier performance. But the gains should still be sufficient to keep the e-C4 in the mix for those after a compact family EV. Let\u2019s hope Citroen rolls it down to more affordable trim levels in its new-look line-up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    We like the Citroen C4 and e-C4 at Auto Express \u2013 and you appear to agree, having voted it top dog in our 2023 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey. But things move fast in the pure-electric market, so Citroen has taken advantage of a new, EV powertrain within its parent Stellantis group to beef up the e-C4\u2019s credentials.<\/p>\n

    Specifically, the new version of this funky crossover \u2013 Citroen\u2019s slightly left-field take on family transport \u2013 mixes a 154bhp electric motor with a larger 54kWh battery that\u2019s the same size physically as the old 50kWh unit but has greater energy density. Citroen claims that even with more power than the old 134bhp motor, the new specification increases the potential range of the e-C4 to up to 261 miles, a gain of 17 per cent. It gets the same rapid charging rate too, at 100kW, so you can get from 20 to 80 per cent of battery capacity in under half an hour.<\/p>\n
