CAR magazine UK scoops the new Citroen C4X, a blend of C4 and C5X, revealing the first details of a new model for 2023
The C4 and C5X have much in common – they're both avant-garde hatchbacks with a slightly raised ride height to make access easy – but there's a half-metre size difference between the two. And that's a sufficiently sized gap into which Citroën can plug the new variant, surely set to be called C4X.
'The C4 is a legitimate predecessor of the C5X: it's elevated but it's not an SUV,' Citroën brand CEO Vincent Cobee tells CAR. 'But they have a very different styling execution at the back. The C4 has quite a Japanese take on the rear, whereas the C5X is somewhere between a German and Swedish [design approach].
Under the skin, the C4X has great commonality with its sister car. That means it rides on the CMP platform, and offers an electric powertrain alongside the 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine and 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel. The 50kWh battery should be good for in excess of 200 miles.
