It's called a boot and it's a proper saloon :) Well done Citroen. Such a pity it was not 570 litres do it would have been able to rival skodas Octavia for boot space and Taxi drivers would love it. It's still not bad at 510 litres do.
Very astute commentary, thank you. I love my Citroen eC4 but I wish it had electric seat adjustments programmable for two different users and the electric boot would be great. Not having a flat floor in the rear is annoying. And road dirt clings terribly to the INSIDE of the plastic door bottom panels. Commentators usually forget to mention the dashcam built into the rear view mirror. And I think the air intakes close while one is spraying the front windscreen with alcohol windscreen cleaner. You can forgive everything because of the comfort ride.
So it looks like a hatch but without the practicality of a hatch? Small boot opening and space robbing old fashioned boot lid hinges too. Like the alcantara seats though. Personally I'd buy the smaller car as I don't see this offers anything better.
The C4X looks alright but I’ll keep my regular C4 thanks! Yeah I have less volume, but the hatchback is more practical than a trad boot. That said I wouldn’t mind taking the C4X for a spin, especially an electric, as I have yet to try this!
@@SM-qf7fv It does yes but the car reviewed by Electroheads didn't. It must have been a demo version. They probably added the feature to the model afterwards.
I think it is a good looking car, but I think manufacturers should be making them more affordable for the working people. That is what is putting off buying an electric car
You can't even charge at home with your home charge point now until after 12am! Plug in car grant scrapped too! Ora Cat, a company that sells EVs for equivalent £15000 in China decide to launch that exact car here in the UK for £32000. Seriously what the f#ck is going on?
It's funny the number of reviewers who complain about flip-up HUDs. I mean sure, they're not as good as the best HUDs, but they are still way better than having no HUD at all. It's just an affordable option. So what's the actual complaint? They all flip up pretty silently.
It has a 570l of boot with no way to load things in. I thought it has the fifth door Oh and look it has a radio. Why is everyone so astonished by a tablet aka infotainment system in a car in 2022? Is that even worth mentioning. That should be a standard feature as well as the USB ports. Do not get me wrong I do not hate Citroen, but they should make a bit more effort. I would rather have a DS7 2023 with less chrome if I had to choose from a car Citroen.
Nice car but, . . . again the next in an endless line of large expansive SUV's, saloons and sedans. I wonder why they stop building large heavy 4 to 6 person EV's. And start building the less heavy, small economical 2-door cars. 95% of the time there is 1 person in cars anyway. And most of these "massive boots" are empty. People ride around in cars that are way to large and heavy all year round, just for that 1 time they ever could transport a set X.
Sorry but this 50kw battery pack is the death of this car . How can they go up again kia hyundai nissan etc with that pathetic battery. How could I drive to my family in south east Spain in this car with passengers and luggage. ? Be lucky if like the e C4 you can get 157miles from this power pack and let's be truthful here its not 50kw useable it about 44kw so it pretty poor.
You were asking what the rear reminds me of: It reminds me of an ugly car ...as the front does! Sorry! The design is absolutely not my thing! 😆...but I'm not the masure of all things 😉
I'm sorry but this is one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen! Looks like someone went overboard with their CAD! Very disappointing look. More like a transformer car gone insane.
HOWS EU GONNA CHARGE IT? TARIFFS ON RUSSIA/SOLAR? EU IN WINTER? LOL! GREEN JOKE! TOO EXPENSIVE & I HEARD WHEN YOU SELL AN EV .. GOTTA REPLACE THE BATTERIES 1ST! $$$$$$$
4:12 could someone explain to me, how on earth is a saloon style opening more practical than a hatchback where the glass also opens????
4:15 Since when opening the boot as a saloon, rather as a hatch, gives more practicality ?
Since never...
Since that was how you pronounce amenities
I know, the review was going well up to this point. Why would you want this over a large hatch?
Hey guys! Looks like a double quoted the boot size, the first 510litres is the correct amount. Sorry about this ☺️ hope you enjoy!
It's called a boot and it's a proper saloon :) Well done Citroen.
Such a pity it was not 570 litres do it would have been able to rival skodas Octavia for boot space and Taxi drivers would love it. It's still not bad at 510 litres do.
Glad to be part of the development of the rear lamps 💪
Such a classy car. Great to see a company still doing saloons. Hope it's a huge success for them.
Looks good, and the boot sounds massive, however would have been way more practical to have made it a hatch opening rather than a saloon.
I think it looks great. However, it's starting to look expensive if they price this car the same as cars which have 60kw+ batteries.

The interior looks lovely. Probably not the greatest drivers car, but for transporting the parents around, this could be just the job 👍😁
I think Citroën should do a C4X with dual motors and AWD. That would be nice to see.
How about waiting until the industry gets it right before trying to buy into a half finished idea.
The C4X looks alright but I’ll keep my regular C4 thanks! Yeah I have less volume, but the hatchback is more practical than a trad boot. That said I wouldn’t mind taking the C4X for a spin, especially an electric, as I have yet to try this!
I think it would look the same but be more practical as a hatchback, but it's okay :)
The rear of the eC4X reminds me of a lot of people needing to go to Specsavers.
Still hasn't got a rear windscreen wiper . Should have left boot opening as per hatchback it would give access to all the boot space.
Shame it didn’t come with a bigger battery. Personally I would prefer a C4 ,j use the range falls a bit short on what I’d be comfortable with
Those boot hinge bars look like they're going to prevent you being able to close it properly if you fully fill the boot.
"Suitcase breakers"..
When Tish asked "Does it look familiar?", I thought "Yes it looks like my Insignia. An epic Stellantis workhorse with a massive boot."
Come in Greece this summer, the sun the sea and the food are great!
Does it still lack regenerative breaking like the eC4?
The eC4 has regenerative braking.

Great content as always n auto social is an amazing channel too loved your lastest video u had on your channel
Thank you very much!
@@AutoSocialUK just being honest
The rear end reminds me of a Phase One Standard Vanguard. Not really a problem ask anyone who remembers them!
Does rapid charging shorten battery life?
How is a saloon boot opening more practical than a hatchback?
3:00 for me it actually looks like a Mercedes car back

Hi
Why do you say that boot opening more practical than a hatchback?
will it tow and carry a roof box?
Battery on the smAll size given the size of the car

I would have been wowed by this car ten years ago. Is this really 2022?
Since when opening the boot as a saloon, rather as a hatch, gives more practicality ?
Citroen, please, do what the people said!
Looks like Alcantara is the new velour!
Does it cost more than £25000? Of course it does!

If you can, try to see the new 408.
Without a hatchback rear boot door, it’s not more practical!
Meh. Nice car but the saloon rather than hatch or estate body means it isn’t dog friendly 😐

It needs a bigger battery 50kw with 45 useable even the Renault Zoe has 55kw and 52 useable
As a mobility user the new boot design will not be practical as getting a mobility scooter in and out will be out of the question
Disappointed - i like the car, but was hoping the battery/motor would be improved from the current platform..
They must have taken the same naming course as Toyota.
Nice car nice ride, very poor winter range and poor aftercare!

They fixed the cheap Toyota-look from the rear.
The rear is awful
Rear end lights look like Peugeot’s
The back looks a lot like the crappy C-Elysée... Not really new or fresh design
conclusion: citroen is a sofa maker...
Wintar...lol

Oh come dear go back to your car history citroen gs and cx had the same type of boot oh and c6 come do you know about cars at all
Seems we've all won a prize! SCAM!
Clearly a silly dress for the occasion.
No cannot stand alcatra it an awful material it's like velcro please please give me leather
Notice how many videos there are about EVs on TH-cam now ? Clever marketing designed to persuade all the sheep to go along with the master plan. LOL.

Lol bZ4X now eC4X. The seats looks ugly af
