2023 Citroën e-C4 X teased ahead of reveal

French manufacturer Citroën has teased its latest upcoming model, with the C4 X set to be revealed tomorrow.

Teased on the Citroën UK Twitter account, the video declares the manufacturer will be unveiling the latest member of its family on June 29 European time, likely in the early hours of the morning on June 30 in Australia.

Brief glimpses in the video show a high-riding four-door sedan with similar front-end styling to the regular C4, although the C4 X's rear design is totally different to its counterpart, featuring a more traditional sedan-like shape rather than the short-overhang hatch of the C4.

The model shown is the e-C4 X, potentially utilising the platform of the fully-electric e-C4 available in Europe, however it's understood Citroën would continue to offer a number of combustion engine variants, likely borrowing the 1.2-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol PureTech engine from the C4, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission globally.

If the e-C4 X does retain the e-C4's underpinnings, we can expect the crossover to produce 100kW and 260Nm from its front electric motor and 50kWh lithium-ion battery pack, providing a driving range of roughly 350km.

Just last week, fellow Stellantis-owned sister brand Peugeot revealed the 408 fastback crossover, riding on the EMP2 platform rather than the smaller EMP1 platform of the C4 – however, it is possible the new C4 X could adopt the larger architecture.

Citroën is set to add the upcoming C5 X to its local line-up later this year, with the hatchback/wagon crossover set to potentially spawn a plug-in hybrid variant in the Australian market.
