2025 Citroën C4 and C4 X: Smarter, and More Comfortable Than Your Favorite Couch

Citroën has unleashed its 2025 C4 and C4 X, promising a bolder design, better technology, and a driving experience smoother than a freshly buttered croissant. These updates aren’t just about looking good in the parking lot—they’re about making every drive more comfortable, whether it’s a quick trip to the grocery store or a cross-country adventure where your playlist runs out before the journey does.

A Refined Exterior That’s Impossible to Ignore

If you thought the previous Citroën C4 looked good, the 2025 version is here to make you question your past choices. The front fascia has been reworked, featuring a more structured, dynamic design with Citroën’s new logo proudly displayed, as if to say, "Yes, I am French, and yes, I look this good naturally."

The headlights are sharper, and the rear end of the C4 X now carries a more balanced stance, giving it the aesthetic poise of a Parisian runway model. Meanwhile, the revised aerodynamics not only make the car look fast but also improve efficiency—because nothing says "I care about the planet" like a car that slices through the air with minimal resistance.

Interior: A Living Room on Wheels

Inside, Citroën has doubled down on what it does best: making comfort a priority. The Citroën Advanced Comfort seats are now thicker, like your grandma’s famous sponge cake, offering support in all the right places. They’re designed to keep you comfortable whether you're stuck in rush hour traffic or cruising down the highway pretending you're in a car commercial.

The 7-inch digital instrument cluster and 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system have been improved for easier navigation—because no one likes stabbing at buttons while trying to find their favorite song. Oh, and there's ambient lighting now, which means your car can set the mood better than a five-star restaurant.

Space? There’s plenty of it. The C4 X boasts a 510-liter trunk, so whether you're packing for a weekend trip or just hoarding snacks like a responsible adult, you’re covered.

20 Ways to Avoid a Crash (or Just Look Like a Pro)

Driving should be relaxing, not an extreme sport. That’s why the 2025 Citroën C4 and C4 X come loaded with 20 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Here are some of the highlights:

• Active Safety Brake – Slows or stops the car to prevent a fender bender before you even realize your coffee spilled.
• Collision Risk Alert – Alerts you when you're getting a little too friendly with the car in front of you.
• Highway Driver Assist – Keeps you centered in your lane while adjusting speed automatically, so you can stop pretending you're a professional race driver on the freeway.
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go – Maintains distance from the car ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic, because no one enjoys the "accelerate, slam brake, repeat" routine.

With these features, you’ll feel like your car has your back—literally.

Powertrain Options: Because One Size Doesn't Fit All

Citroën understands that everyone has different driving preferences. That’s why the 2025 C4 and C4 X come in three different powertrains:

• Electric: The ë-C4 and ë-C4 X offer 136hp or 156hp motors with ranges up to 264 miles (WLTP)—enough to make range anxiety a thing of the past (or at least push it to next week).
• Hybrid: The Hybrid 100 and Hybrid 136 models offer a mix of power and efficiency, so you get the best of both worlds without plugging in.
• Petrol: The PureTech 130 EAT8 engine keeps things traditional for those who still like their fuel pumped and their horsepower unfiltered.

No matter which version you choose, all models come with Citroën’s latest suspension system, ensuring every ride feels less like a bumpy road trip and more like gliding over clouds.
