- Citroen updated the C4 and C4 X crossovers with its latest styling language.
- The models gain a redesigned face, comfier seats, and new instrument cluster.
- The powertrain lineup includes mild-hybrid, EV, and ICE-only options.
The new C5 Aircross Concept might be the highlight of the Citroen booth at the Paris Auto Show 2024, but the French brand hosted another interesting premiere. The Citroen C4 and C4 X benefit from a mid-lifecycle update for 2025, adopting a redesigned exterior, comfier seats and a digital instrument cluster.
The closely-related models wear a redesigned face, with a slimmer and boxier arrangement for the split headlights. The chrome-infused double chevron grille is gone, replaced by Citroen‘s new oval emblem. Finally, the tweaked bumper is more sculpted than before, with less plastic cladding and an aluminum-style skid plate.

The profile is largely carried over, with new designs for the alloy wheels. The rear end of the C4 looks a lot cleaner than before, thanks to the new LED taillights mounted below the integrated rear spoiler. On the other hand, the longer and more aerodynamic tail of the C4 X remains virtually unchanged, setting aside the updated Citroen branding. This might have to do with the fact that the C4 X debuted in 2022, two years after the C4 .
Interior changes are limited to new Citroen Advanced Comfort seats with thicker foam padding, and a fresh 7-inch digital instrument cluster joining the carry-over 10-inch infotainment touchscreen.

Despite competing in the compact segment, the C4 and the C4 X still ride on the CMP architecture, usually found in subcompact models from Stellantis brands.
The powertrain lineup includes mild-hybrid and fully electric options, with an ICE-only version available in certain markets. The mild-hybrid turbocharged 1.2-liter engine produces 99 hp (74 kW /100 PS) or 134 hp (100 kW / 136 PS), with another 28 hp (21 kW / 29 PS) from the electric motor mounted inside the six-speed automatic gearbox.
The carry-over fully electric powertrains generate 134 hp (136 PS) and 155 hp (115 kW / 156 PS) of power, transmitted to the front wheels. The 50 kWh battery of the former offers 355/360 km (221/224 miles) of WLTP range, while the larger 54 kWh battery of the more potent EV is good for 415/425 km (258/264 miles) of range depending on the bodystyle.
The facelifted Citroen C4 and C4 X will reach European dealerships in early 2025. Pricing will be announced closer to their market launch.
