At the same time, a 54kWh battery and a 115kW (154bhp) electric motor were introduced for the e-C4 X, to sell alongside the 50kWh/100kW set-up.

A facelifted C4 X and e-C4 X arrived at the end of 2024, with refreshed styling and the added option of a hybrid powertrain. Based around the turbocharged 1.2-litre engine, there were Hybrid 100 and 136 editions.

Which one should I buy?

You're unlikely to find a diesel C4 X, and hybrids are rare on the used market, so in effect your choice is between a petrol-engined edition or the fully electric e-C4 X. Only you can decide which one is right for you; we wouldn’t steer you one way or the other.

At launch the trim levels were Sense, Shine and Shine Plus, but within a year they had switched to YOU!, PLUS and MAX, although the e-C4 X came only in YOU! and MAX forms. Early cars are uncommon, so we’ll focus on the later trims. If you buy a YOU!-spec car it’ll come with LED headlights, a 10-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control plus automatic headlights and wipers.

Plus trim adds navigation, a reversing camera and electrically folding door mirrors, while MAX features a head-up display, an upgraded hi-fi, Alcantara trim, heated front seats, front parking sensors, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and auto high beam.

In terms of the cars available used, there’s a pretty even split between electric and combustion engines. If you’d prefer something with an engine, you’ll be doing well to find a diesel C4 X, while hybrids aren’t very common either.
