The Citroën e-C4 X electric vehicle is an upcoming model focused on an efficient operation when being driven for commuting or leisure purposes. The vehicle is equipped with a 100kW fully electric drivetrain that's powerful yet efficient with 136-horsepower and 260Nm of torque that's instantly available as soon as it's required. Drivers can thus go from zero to 62mph in 9.5-seconds when in Sport mode and enjoy a top speed of 93mph, depending on local regulations.
The Citroën e-C4 X electric vehicle is outfitted with a regenerative braking system to partially recharge the battery and increase range during trips. The vehicle takes 7.5-hours to be recharged using a 7.4kW Wallbox from home, while a 100kW rapid public charger will get it from zero to 80% in just 30-minutes.
