Citroen has officially confirmed the unveiling of the 2021 e-C4 on June 30. The compact crossover will act as the replacement of the C4 Cactus and is expected to hit showrooms this fall. The announcement, which was made on social media, was accompanied by a teaser video that previews the 3D badging of the car. The e-C4 moniker will be used by the electric model, and it is understood that the ICE-powered variants will be known as the C4.

This will translate into superior legroom for backseat occupants and a bigger boot space. The architecture will allow it to be offered with a variety of petrol and diesel engines, in addition to the zero-emission powertrain. It’s expected to be quite a looker, with previous spy shots revealing the arched roofline behind the B pillars, which ends right above the high tailgate design. Unfortunately, the prototypes that we’ve seen testing in different environments these past few months were camouflaged to the teeth, so it’s almost impossible to spot most design details. The dashboard is thought to be similar to the latest 2008 , with the infotainment screen mounted on top, next to the digital dials. However, unlike Peugeot’s subcompact crossover, drivers of Citroen’s compact model will not have to look over the steering wheel at the cluster, but right through it. Elsewhere, expect a wide range of technology features and exclusive upholstery and trim options, which should help it retain the youthful character of its predecessor.
