The Citroen e-C4 X is what happens when an electric car decides that comfort is more persuasive than excitement. This Shine Plus, finished in white with diamond-cut Aeroblade alloys, looks sleek and slightly unconventional, like a saloon that quietly wandered into the future and decided to stay there. The 50kWh electric setup delivers smooth, silent progress in the way EVs do best, but it’s the ride quality that really stands out. Citroën’s Advanced Comfort suspension turns poor roads into distant rumours, while the high level of acoustic insulation makes motorway journeys feel more like gliding than driving. With the 7.4kW onboard charger and supplied Mode 3 cable, charging is simple and well suited to home life, while rapid public charging keeps longer trips realistic. Inside, this is where the e-C4 X really makes its point. Heated seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and a head-up display create an environment that feels more lounge than cockpit. The Smart Pad support for a front passenger tablet, ambient lighting and raised centre console all add to the sense that this car was designed around people rather than specifications. Highway Driver Assist, blind spot detection, front and rear parking aids with camera, keyless entry and remote temperature pre-conditioning remove the usual everyday inconveniences before you notice them. With two owners and sensible mileage, this is an electric car that majors on comfort, calm and clever design. A car for people who would rather arrive relaxed than impressed.
