Product Overview

Citroen C4 III (chassis code C41) is an affordable compact crossover in production from 2020. It is powered by either tiny ICE engines of 1.2L I3 petrol and 1.5L I4 diesel flavors or a tiny electric motor aided by a battery capacity of 50kWh.
Compared to the Mk2 C4, the C4 III became a "coupe" crossover, making it more distinct from the Peugeot 208 II. The latter is probably a better car, even though it is horrible itself.
The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Reviewer score 54%
Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The Citroën C4 sits on the PSA Group’s smaller family car platform, which means you get a choice of an internal combustion engine or a battery-electric vehicle powertrain. The C4 is 4.35m long, so not huge for a car in the Volkswagen Golf class. It has 134bhp and a 0-62mph time of 9.0sec, but step-off always feels brisker than brisker.

Pros
  • Sleek styling
  • Lots of standard equipment
  • Decent range
Cons
  • Lack of practicality
  • Not the most fun to drive

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
At 1520mm high it's 25mm or so taller than a Ford Focus. Runs on tall 60-profile tyres, quite balloonish by most standards. Its roof is a little lower than a Toyota C-HR, itself barely a crossover. Powered by a 128bhp (badged 130) 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol engine.

Pros
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Lots of standard equipment
Cons
  • Poor ride-and-handling
  • Alternatives are more fun to drive

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The Citroen C4 is a good family hatchback, but not the best option for those prioritising practicality, efficiency and a degree of driving fun. Its funky coupe-crossover styling will attract some buyers, but once past the C4's stylish veneer it's clear that it will struggle to compete with the very best in class. Prices for the combustion-engined C4 range start from just over £21,000.

Pros
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Decent standard kit
Cons
  • Lack of practicality
  • Average interior quality

Reviewer score 62%
Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The C4 feels like a car that has been unashamedly focused on comfort instead of agility. The 128bhp three-pot engine has some typical grumble once you head towards 3,000rpm. Inside, the C4 isn't quite a match for the best in the family-car class on perceived quality, but it's respectable.

Pros
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Decent infotainment system
Cons
  • No manual gearbox
  • Noisy engine

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The e-C4 is Citroen's first passenger electric car and focuses on comfort and refinement with an easy-going nature. It has a 134bhp electric motor that also delivers 260Nm of torque – enough for a top speed of 93mph and a 0-62mph time of 9.7 seconds. The 50kWh battery pack gives a claimed range of up to 217 miles.

Pros
  • Affordable price
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Decent infotainment
Cons
  • Expensive compared to rivals

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The Citroen e-C4 family car ticks lots of boxes right from the start. It feels compact around town, but the split hatchback screen does hurt visibility out of the rear-view mirror. Around town the car’s ride is more than acceptable – comfy, even. And the 380-litre boot and rear accommodation have done a solid job of coping with our seven-year-old son too.

Pros
  • Decent range
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Decent infotainment system
Cons
  • Pricier than rivals

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The Citroen C4 Cactus represents a return to the past for the French manufacturer. It's relaxing to drive and, although it doesn't handle quite as sharply as some other family hatchbacks, it's still fun to hustle down a country road. The three-cylinder engines provide more punch than their power outputs might suggest, too.

Pros
  • Fun to drive
  • Comfortable ride
Cons
  • No automatic gearbox
  • Alternatives are more fun to drive

Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:
On the motorway, the Puretech 130 is nice and calm, with a murmur of engine and a trickle of wind. There's sufficient front-end grip and the steering is accurate, but at urban speeds, it feels a bit light and slow off-the-dead. The Hype Black interior on top spec Shine Plus cars feels more sober German premium car than charismatic Citroën.

Pros

The Citroen e-C4 has a 134bhp electric motor and 50kWh battery. Performance is adequate in ICE terms, but is left behind by many of its EV rivals. 0-62mph comes up in 9.7 seconds and its maximum speed is 93mph. Motorway refinement is impressive, with low levels of wind and road noise.
