2023 Citroen C4 X

Crossovers have been attracting customers’ attention for a long time. Thus, Citroen introduced the C4 X, which the French company says represents a “unique alternative” to hatchback and SUV models. This is Citroen’s response to the recently introduced Peugeot 408.

The Citroen C4 X should fill the gap between the C4 and C5 X. It is 4,600 mm long, 1,525 mm high and 1,800 mm wide with a wheelbase of 2,670 mm, which makes it slightly smaller than the competitor Peugeot 408. All these figures caused slightly less luggage space (510 L) which should not be a problem for long trips.

The C4 X is powered by a single electric motor with 136 hp (100 kW) and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 9.7 seconds with a top speed of 93 mph (150 km / h), in Sport mode.

In European markets such as Germany, France, Italy and Spain, the car will be offered with electric drive, while in some markets the model will be available with petrol and diesel engines. It will be equipped with a 50 kWh battery that provides a range of 360 km. Thanks to the 100 kW DC charger, the battery can be charged up to 80 percent in 30 minutes.

All cars will be manufactured at Stellantis plant in Spain.

Goodbye Citroen C1

After 17 years, Citroen has announced that it will stop producing its smallest car, the Citroen C1. During its existence, two generations of this model were produced, and more than 1 million units of this small city car were sold.

Citroen says that the 3.43-meter-long car, which was offered in European markets, will be replaced by a cheap electric model that brings the name Ami back to life. Citroen justifies this move with the trend of electrification and changes in the habits of customers who need city cars.

Citroen offered the C1 in two versions, with three and five doors. The first generation was powered by a 1.0-liter three-cylinder petrol engine and a 1.4-liter turbo diesel engine, which was withdrawn with the arrival of the second generation. This was done because the second generation proved to be better on EuroNCAP tests by winning four of the possible five stars.

Some rumors say that another French car manufacturer, Peugeot, will follow the same path. This means that only Toyota remains in the game, which recently introduced the new generation Aygo. The car has a slightly longer body and the distance between the floor and the ground, compared to its predecessor.
