Citroen has updated the e-C4 and e-C4 X with a new, 154bhp powertrain.
Just as we have seen in the Peugeot 2008 and Opel Mokka Electric, the new powertrain is now paired to a 54kWh battery, which Citroen states will allow the car to hit a 420km range on the WLTP cycle.
This drivetrain now makes use of a hybrid synchronous electric motor instead of the permanent magnet synchronous electric motor, while the lithium-ion battery now makes use comprises of 80% nickel, as opposed to the 60% from before, allowing improved energy density and longer battery life.
The two cars continue to offer a charging speed of up to 7kW via an alternating current source, although charging up to 11kW is also available as an option. Charging via a 100kW direct charger meanwhile, will see battery going from 20% to 80% state-fo-charge in less than 30 minutes. The two cars will continue to be offered with the 134bhp drivetrain combined with a 50kW battery on the 'Live', 'Feel' and 'Feel Pack' trim levels.
