ë-C4 54 kWh

The Citroën ë-C4 54 kWh is a 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2023 to 2024, when it cost £35,800 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 9.2 seconds, slower than 86% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 205 miles (330 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 25% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 26th of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 4.0 mi/kWh (154 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 50.8 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 79 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 223 miles (359 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2023 example is estimated at £13,600–£15,000 and a 2024 one at £17,000–£19,200, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2023 car should still manage about 193 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
