Video Summary
- The car’s quality is serious, well-made, and impressive, both inside and out.- Inside the car, there's plenty of space, especially for taller individuals.
- Trunk space is a negative point; it’s not gigantic. However, the double bottom to store cables is cool.
- In terms of ergonomics and infotainment, the review is positive. The screens are relatively fluid, and the functions are classic.
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, and they function well with the car.
- Climate control buttons are well placed and easily accessible.
- The driver-assist features are managed at the steering wheel.
- The car’s overall driving experience is extremely pleasant and simple.
- Its main selling point is comfort. Suspension is hydraulically buffered; however, the result is not perfectly smooth.
- 136 hp electrical motor power is sufficient for the car. The review recommends not using Sport mode to extend range.
- Charging in DC is performed in 30 min, but 7.4 kW AC charging is too slow. The recommendation is to include the 11 kW AC charger as an option.
- Efficiency and range are the car's main downsides.
- The car gets about 250km on one charge on average.
- Expect only about 200km on the highway with the AC on.
- The autonomy in kilometers is displayed in an imprecise manner on the instrument panel. It would have been much better to show the actual percentage of the remaining battery.
- A highway drive was performed to test autonomy for 96 real kilometers, resulting in a loss of 148 kilometers of estimated range.
- With a start price of about 37,500 EUR, the C4 is a decent option; a 31,000 EUR baseline model can be had after incentives.
- In conclusion, despite some downsides, the C4 is a good electric car that is practical, with a good look, at a fair price.
