Citroën C4 X: A Striking Blend of Sedan and SUV Coupé 

Medium-sized three-box sedans, including their hatchback counterparts, are facing tough competition from compact SUVs. However, Citroën may have found a solution with the introduction of the C4 X, a four-door variant of the C4 that combines the qualities of a sedan with the style of an SUV Coupé. This exciting model has recently arrived in Moroccan showrooms under the Citroën brand.

The C4 X, the latest addition from Citroën, is a unique variant of the C4, featuring a trunk and a sleek fastback design that exudes a crossover Coupé vibe. With its generous ground clearance of 15.6 cm and various body protections inherited from the hatchback model, this "transgenic" C4 offers a distinctive and adventurous appeal.

Measuring 4.60 meters in length, the C4 X is 24 cm longer than its hatchback counterpart but still 20 cm shorter than the C5 X. The extra length is dedicated to the rear overhang, which enhances the trunk's capacity to 510 liters—an increase of 130 liters compared to the C4. Despite a slightly inclined backrest on the rear bench seat to accommodate the sloping roof, the C4 X provides comparable interior space to the hatchback variant.

While the front design of the C4 X closely resembles its hatchback sibling, noticeable differences can be observed in the profile and rear. The trunk integration is seamless, complemented by arrow-shaped rear lights reminiscent of the C5 X. The overall aesthetics of the C4 X, designed by Pierre Leclercq's team, are captivating, with generous shoulders and an appealing look.

Inside the C4 X, the familiar interior presentation of the C4 is retained. The minimalist dashboard features a 5-inch digital instrumentation and a 10-inch central touch screen with a redesigned interface and the My Citroën Drive Plus multimedia system inherited from the C5 X. The C4 X excels in practicality, boasting 16 cleverly designed storage compartments and Advanced Comfort seats with special foam for added comfort.

The C4 X also offers numerous driving aids, including active emergency braking, panel recognition, and online crossing alert, enabling level 2 autonomous driving capabilities. In terms of handling and ride comfort, the C4 X maintains the reassuring behavior and dynamic performance of the C4, providing a smooth and comfortable driving experience.

The C4 X is powered by a single engine option: the 4-cylinder BlueHDI 1.5L with 130 hp and 300 Nm of torque, paired with an EAT8 8-speed automatic gearbox. This efficient turbodiesel engine delivers excellent fuel economy (4.1 l/100 km combined) while providing sufficient power (maximum speed of 190 km/h) and contributing to the impressive soundproofing of the C4. The C4 X is competitively priced at 309,000 DH, offering great value compared to its rivals in the medium-sized sedan market.
