A French EXPERIENCE

We experience the Citroën ë-C4 and e-C4 X in France to gauge their suitability for India.

On a recent visit to Citroën's global design studio in Paris - for something that we're not allowed to talk about yet - we also got to experience two of their global products.

While the e-C4 and ë-C4 X aren't currently planned for the Indian market, it was a useful glimpse into where Citroën's global EV products stand and what we might expect when they eventually make their way to India.

THE DETAILS

The ë-C4 is a highly successful product in Europe, competing in a compact segment that's fiercely contested. It competes with hatchbacks like the Ford Focus, but to give it a distinct identity, it features a fastback-style rear end that helps it stand out. There's also the familiar door-side cladding, which has more or less become a Citroën trademark.
