Citroën has given the C4 and C4 X a facelift for 2025, adding sleeker styling, comfier seats, and enough driving technology to make even the laziest driver feel like a pro. If you thought French cars were all about quirky charm and soft suspensions, you're absolutely right—but this time, they’ve added a bit of sophistication to the mix.
So, what’s new? Let’s dive in, baguette in hand.
New Look, Same French Attitude
The 2025 Citroën C4 and C4 X now have a redesigned front end, featuring the latest Citroën logo because, apparently, even car badges need a refresh every few years. The headlights are sharper, and the grille has been tweaked to scream “modern” without actually shouting.
- The C4’s rear end has been updated for a cleaner, more sculpted look—because even compact hatchbacks deserve a glow-up.
- The C4 X, still rocking its fastback design, remains the classier sibling, perfect for those who want sedan practicality without looking like they drive a company fleet car.
Citroën says these design updates give both models a more harmonious and mature presence. Translation: They’ve stopped trying to impress teenagers and are now targeting people who actually enjoy lumbar support.
Sit Down. No, Really. You’ll Love It.
Inside, Citroën has doubled down on comfort, because, let’s be honest, nobody buys a Citroën for its Nürburgring lap times.
- The new Citroën Advanced Comfort seats come with extra-thick foam, because the French believe driving should feel like lounging on a chic Parisian sofa.
- A 10-inch touchscreen sits in the middle, ready to handle navigation, music, and the occasional frustrated finger poke when the voice assistant misinterprets your commands.
- A 7-inch digital instrument cluster provides clear driving information, meaning fewer excuses for missing speed limits—sorry, lead-footed drivers.
The suspension is still Citroën’s famous “magic carpet” ride, officially called Citroën Advanced Comfort® Suspension, which smooths out potholes so well you’ll forget about your country’s failing road infrastructure.
For added convenience, nearly 20 driver assistance technologies help make sure you don’t end up in a ditch, including:
- Adaptive cruise control – Because who actually enjoys adjusting speed manually?
- Lane-keeping assist – Ideal for those who treat lane markings as “general guidelines.”
- Parking sensors – Because backing into a space shouldn’t be an Olympic sport.
Powertrain Options: Petrol, Hybrid, or Fully Electric?
Citroën is offering a range of powertrains so there’s something for everyone, whether you love the hum of a traditional engine or the eerie silence of an EV.
1. Fully Electric: For the Tech-Savvy Commuter
- The C4 and C4 X are available with two electric motor options:
- 100 kW (136 hp) – Enough for city driving without feeling sluggish.
- 115 kW (156 hp) – For those who like a little more zip at traffic lights.
- Expect a range of up to 260 miles, assuming you drive sensibly and don’t treat every green light like a race start.
2. Hybrid: The Best of Both Worlds
- Two new hybrid versions:
- Hybrid 100
- Hybrid 136
- They use a 48V system, which reduces fuel consumption and emissions without requiring a plug. So, if you hate charging but still want a green badge of honor, here you go.
3. Petrol: Because Some People Just Love Gasoline
- The 1.2L PureTech 130 EAT8 is still available in some markets for those who prefer internal combustion over electrons.
Whether you want zero emissions, a mix of efficiency and power, or the good old-fashioned thrill of burning fossil fuels, Citroën has you covered.
