2022 Citroen C4 X BlueHDi 130 Start & Stop 8AT

Vehicle Overview

Citroen introduced the C4 as a hatchback on the market in 2004, but later on, the compact-segment vehicle evolved into a crossover coupe that attracted a different type of customer.

Just two years after the launch of the C4’s third generation, the French brand unveiled the C4 X, trying to compete with some premium carmakers that also had crossover coupes on their lineups. Even though Citroen was more of a mass-market manufacturer, its ambitions to create upscale vehicles were still alive.

While at the front, only a keen eye for detail could’ve spotted the differences between the regular C4 and the C4 X, the profile unveiled the longer profile. Since it shared the same wheelbase with its shorter sibling, only the rear overhang was extended. Moreover, the redesigned LED taillights featured a C-letter shape. At the back, the vehicle’s cladding concealed the additional length.

Inside, the carmaker installed an elegant interior with a technological update for the infotainment system. Wireless connectivity with smartphones was available, while the My Citroen Assist provided free geolocated emergency calls and emergency calls without a subscription. Since the vehicle featured a longer rear overhang, the trunk was increased and reached up to 510 liters (18 cu-ft) of space, with the rear seats up.

Citroen offered the C4 X with a choice of three gasoline and one turbo-diesel unit ranging between 100 PS and 130 PS (98 and 128 HP), respectively.
