I borrowed this car from Citroen Wilmoths Eastbourne if you're after a Citroen!
Pay them a visit they're really great they're really helpful the new ec4
is an electric car it's got a 50 kilowatt hour battery which is good for about 217 miles of wltp
range it puts out 134 horsepower or 100 kilowatts if you're in europe and that means it can get from
0 to 62 miles an hour in about 9.7 seconds and because it is an electric car it's got instant
torque which means when you want to pull away from the traffic lights it will immediately respond
and give you that surge the new c4 range is about the same size as a ford focus or a vw golf but
it's got a raised start which makes it look a bit like an suv but it's not the benefit of that race
starts is quite simple it gives it more ground clearance which means you're less likely to scrape
it or damage it if you're on a curb or indeed anywhere where the ground isn't exactly flat and
even so it gives you a bit more versatility in terms of technology this car has it all
and we're going to go into that inside there'll be a separate video on the infotainment system so
please keep an eye out for that on the channel but looking at some of the exterior features first of
all we've got these really cool new led lights citroen has always had this distinctive look
of double lights but now with the leds it looks really futuristic and very unique citra and led
vision lights are really really cool and they look great as you can see here you have the adaptive
cruise control sensor you've got parking sensors as well the bonnet here is sculpted and it's got
little chunks taken out of it which looks really cool and very futuristic at the side here you
have a choice of alloys this comes with 18 inch alloy wheels which look again very cool with a
distinctive diamond cut finish and black surround we can't talk about the new c4 in this car without
talking about the sloping coupe esque roof line which is really cool which goes into that sporty
spoiler in this particular trim of this model the rear is blacked out here with tinted windows which
again adds to that two-tone sporty look let's talk now about the design of the rear of the ec4
and this will be the same on any c4 so it's got a very aggressive rear end there's no doubt
about it the tail lights are really distinctive they've got these cool effects here which are
ridged you've got a spoiler here which adds to the sportiness look from the side it does mean
however you could get some rain collecting down here which might affect your visibility especially
in the country it rains a lot but i love the sportiness it looks really unique and cool
also the contrast between the black and the paint color of the body is really really cool down at
the bottom there's no fake exhaust or anything else going on there it's an electric car and it's
proud to be an electric car what about space in the back of the ec4 well you'll be pleased
to know there's 380 liters and if you put the back seats down you've got 1250 liters of space
there are the various hooks and tether points you would expect and you've got an adjustable floor
in the boot so your charging cable would go under there normally but if you want to have it flat
you can just have a flat level there or for more space you can have it so there's a slight lip here
talking about the lip you've got a nice protected area here which you can use to make sure anything
is slid over and doesn't damage the paintwork and this is quite low here on the lip of the bumper
this is the side view of the new citron e c 4. this car also comes with keyless entry so you can
open the doors without needing the key it has to be in your pocket at the back here you find your
charging port just like where you would expect to find your fuel cap and what's great about this
is it's a hundred kilowatt charging so it can do fast charging zero to eighty percent in 30 minutes
or you can plug it in at home and it takes about seven and a half hours to charge from a home box
inside the ec4 electric car this has plenty of space there's room for my legs you can see i've
got plenty of space for my knees here my feet can go under there quite happily there is a bit
of a lip here which kind of is something which you need to get used to but it's no big deal at
the back here there's two usb ports as well which come in this trim level and you know you feel fine
there's a sloping roof line which you know can reduce your space a bit if you're taller i've got
about this much space so how much space is there in the electric citron ec4 for your doggy plenty
of space for your dog to relax and take it easy there are four trim levels on the c4 and the ec4
the standard trim level is called the sense and then that's followed by the sense plus the shine
and the shine plus as standard on the car you get 18 inch alloy wheels like you've seen on this car
you get led headlights dual climate control and the incredibly impressive progressive hydraulic
cushion suspension system which allows you to go around corners and be really flat but go
over bumps in the road and not feel them stepping up to the sense plus you get the heads up display
you get sat nav you get led interior lights auto dimming rear view mirror two usb sockets
power folding mirrors and then on the shine trim you get dark tinted rear windows you get all the
driver assistance features keyless entry auto high beam heated steering wheel and a reversing
camera on the shine plus you get black leather power adjustable driver seat heated front seats
four usb sockets and wireless charging and big shout out for the design on the interior here
this is a really impressive car because it's very ergonomically designed to give you everything you
could want from the built-in tablet holder to the fantastic shelf where you can put your phone which
is a wireless charging point but it will also fit my folding phone and my iphone and that's
the first car that i've been in which actually fits whatever phone that i actually have so
you wouldn't think citroen were the masters of this but with a tablet shelf
and a space to fit any size phone that's something that's amazing well done citron
this is a totally new design for citron you've got a nice big widescreen 10 inch display here
with android auto and apple carplay you've got actual buttons under here for climate control
which is really cool to see which you can also adjust on the screen if you need to the steering
wheel on this spec has heating as well we've got a digital driver display down here in the middle
here we've got a cubby hole which is really cool you can put something underneath there and then
you've got a wireless charging mat two cupholders and you've got your electric brake and your button
which will take you to the electric information on the screen so you can see how much battery is left
your statistics your flow and your charge interior wise everything feels really nice you've got your
head up display which pops up from here as well which is awesome to see which you can see in my
driving video and then the design on the doors is really funky and really cool all in all a
really nice interior it feels very comfortable very very well equipped and make sure you watch
the video on the infotainment system which is coming up soon this is the new citroen c4 and
this car is the ec4 electric car this car has a 50 kilowatt hour battery which is good for 217 miles
it's 134 horsepower or 100 kilowatts and it can do zero to 62 miles an hour in 9.7 seconds
this car has a really interesting suspension system citroen have fitted something called
progressive hydraulic cushion suspension and what that is is a kind of suspension which is designed
to maximize your comfort but also make sure that you feel in control of the car
so when you're driving around a corner there's not going to be any sponginess of the car rolling
into the corners it will remain flat and even and then when you're on a straight road like i am now
the car will loosen up so the bumps in the road those potholes aren't a problem that means this
car is really comfortable to drive and it feels really relaxing and you don't have to worry about
control and how it feels when you go around those corners which is a disadvantage some cars have
it means that even though the suspension is really comfortable it definitely feels sporty going into
corners which is a really interesting feel for the car and something which i
think is a great idea what do you get in this electric car in terms of equipment well it's got
all of the latest assistant features built into it we've got adaptive cruise control lane assist it
uses the cameras and the radar to slow down and break and know when there's going to be a crash
and break you automatically with the emergency braking assistant i've got a heads-up display
right in front of me which makes me feel like a fighter pilot which is showing me my speed
and my safety system status this car has got it all it's got a 10 inch wide screen with android
auto and apple carplay and the interior is step up from other citroen models i don't think there's
any question about that in terms of the technology that's been added into this car it just feels like
the next level in cars and it's really really comfortable as well you know i said this already
but i feel that way there are three modes there's sport normal and economy i have it in sport right
now obviously electric cars always have tons of torque that's something which you would expect
from an electric car but with this particular car like with all cars if you put it into sport
mode you get a tiny bit more throttle response which means it's a tiny bit more responsive
you never have any problems at traffic lights or crossings the ec4 will keep you in control there's
something about driving an electric car it makes you feel better maybe it's because it's saving
the environment maybe because you know you're not having to put petrol in the car both things which
are really good and with the cost of fuel being so expensive throughout most of the world that makes
a lot of sense electric is much cheaper and it's a lot less hassle as long as the range that you need
to go does not exceed the car and if it does as long as there's quick charging and this is where
this car is really good it can take a hundred kilowatt charging quick charging which can charge
from zero to eighty percent in 30 minutes that's enough time to get a coffee have a sandwich relax
and then find your car 80 charge and coming back to it ready to go and carry on with your journey
and at home you can charge it in seven and a half hours if you have a wall box what i like most
about this car is the way that citroen have gone as far as design and the way they've delivered it
it's got a raised height which means on english rows or any rows which are a bit lumpy and a bit
bumpy you don't have to worry about that that height gives you extra confidence when driving
so you're not going to damage a car or curve it gives you better road position when driving and
on top of that all it's got a great suspension system which means when you go around corners it
feels sporty but when you're driving on a straight and there's bumps in the road it goes over them
like they're not there adding all the technology all the assistance features the quick charging
as well and this is a really really cool car and let's not forget the head-up display if you spec
it as well from a purely techy gadgety point of view this is a really good car and if you're
looking for something which isn't maybe typical of other electric cars but has a cool look and
can give you the best of everything then i suggest you check out one of these ec4s and you know check
out the standard c4s as well there is petrol and diesel versions as well even though i'm reviewing
the electric version in this video so what's my verdict on this car well it's really comfortable
it's got all the latest technology it has really really clever suspension it's got a
head-up display and it's electric so it'll save you money it won't cost you anything in fuel
it's good for the environment and it's fantastic value at between 33 and 35 000 pounds for what you
get it's really really well equipped i really like this car i would suggest you check one out as far
as a tech in the car rating i give this 26 out of 30. strong in the environment strong on technology
easy to park with the latest parking sensors and cameras this car is really really good i strongly
