Citroen e-C4X 1000 km challenge

[@YTesting]

At this point in this, it must be safe to say you are the longest driving reviewer of cars on this platform (I could be wrong, but I don't anyone else who does so many 1000+ km tests). Your work ethic is superb, thanks!

Kyle Conner from Out of Spec isn't far behind though!

[@ionutraducanu7009]

35 minute improvement, similar to Polestar 2 and Audi e-tron, wow.

[@Torsten.]

But the Polestar managed this by 0°, which is a significant difference.

Spoiler alert 😂

@Bjorn; the high beam stalk pull it toward you, that is way better then push it off. Because the chance of using high beam without knowing it get way smaller with the French system. Because when you use the turnsignal, sometimes you push it forwards without knowing. I see alot of older cars driving with high beam without knowing. It is almost never a French car

[@chinitaantonio]

You have to toutch the radio knob to turn on the charging info (When charging)

[@nurnware]

It's not just the new STELLANTIS cars: My 3 year old e-208 got the same charging curve through a software update. I'm happy now. Much better. Still 50kWh battery though, of course. That wasn't increased through software 🤣 They also improved how deep down you can go. It pretended to be empty at 20% before, now it warns at 13% and starts bugging at 6%. Much better!

[@CreRay]

Really? It can do 107kW??

[@nurnware]

I get 100kW - fair enough@@CreRay

[@TheFPSPower]

I'm interested to see the new e-208 this year, it's supposed to come with the new more powerful and more efficient drivetrain with +40km WLTP. With the right price I think it's going to be a best seller.

[@rui569]

Kempower needs some dark mode for night time

[@TimoLahti]

To start the infotainment, just press the start-stop without the brake pedal for a couple of seconds. The OBD2 socket is at the left side panel under the steering wheel heating controls. It's rather tight to tug off. You could have checked that from the interweb beforehand vs. the eC4 posts.. :D Cheers from Finland, br, eC4 driver

[@bjornnyland]

I already checked and tried. Way too clumsy.

[@TimoLahti]

@@bjornnylandAgreed. Also, you cannot use the OBD2 donge with the lid closed. Bad design. Or..intended to NOT used the socked in daily routine?

[@Tomaskom]

Unless they changed it, to start the infotainment, just press the button on the volume knob near the central screen. No need to fire up the whole car. As for OBD (on e-208), I have Vgate iCar 2 and it fits nicely. But many dongles are quite tall.

[@cannygrowabeard]

I’m looking forward to seeing how the Opel Astra performs. I suspect the smaller and lower shape of that will deliver 10h 25m or 10h 30m

[@discinfiltrator_games]

You should really try to drive this car in Eco Mode. It saves so much energy. I average around 165 overall and around 180 120km/h on highway with the original ë-C4

[@igor6270]

me to on highway 16-18 kw/100km... and 12.6 kw/100 at a speed of 80 km/h in eco mode... all with air condition...

[@bjornnyland]

No, it won't.

[@angeldominguez4993]

@@bjornnyland You both have some points here, but not all. ECO mode in newer firmwares does save some energy, but not much. It provides less power from the motor (only 60kW and this does not change anything related to save energy if you are cruising at "normal" speeds), but also provides a very stingy HVAC (for me it is not usable below 10ºC or above 30ºC) and less assisted power steering. I like to use ECO mode when I can only because of this last reason (I like the power steering to be like that), not for the 6-8Wh/km at most I may save at road speeds

[@hrrrrr2084]

Awesome speed! Super fast for its price and even compared to much more expensive cars

[@TrainsInRomania]

Pretty good autonomy and drive experience!! Having 80 kW at 60% SoC is awesome! Best regards!

[@markifi]

i like that the display turns off by itself. it's a more pleasant experience in the car while it's charging

[@c.brinker4387]

I think considering the price a good car with huge trunk… thanks for the „Hulk-testing“… and I like the narrow and dainty Kempower HPC charging stations, unfortunately they do not exist here in GER.

[@ConstantinBanciu]

I have the classic Ioniq(38Kwh) and the auto high beam works perfectly...

[@magnuslemhage7552]

I love the new video, and man you have humor...perfect...mvh Magnus Lemhage Skövde 🙂😃👍

[@bellumCretatus]

ID. 7 is supposed to be optimised for 130kmh, looking foreward to the 1000km challenge of that one.

[@tomtom9879]

This car ticks most boxes for me. But the price is the Big question...

[@ericvet8b]

We are going to have to put a “TeslaBjorn peeing spot” sign at Helsingborg 😂!

[@MrAnton9090]

the ODBC 2 port is in the middle console under the clima switches under the ashtray by my old c4 diesel

[@bjornnyland]

Already looked there. Impossible to find. Super clumsy.

[@Marius_Victor]

I always follow you from Romania 🙏. Good health to you and your family 🙏

[@onlineactivityvideo]

Great car, if the price was lower, it could become a good choice! Thank you Bjorn !

[@DG-uv3zw]

Skinny tires, only front drive, slow/underpowered, low top speed etc... It does equal to somewhat efficient EV but its way overpriced for all that reasons... Oh yeah, safety is also crap 🤐

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

In Germany and some other EU countries Citroen lowered the prices at the start of this week.

[@mViper22]

Hello Bjorn, are you sure that like at your e-C4 review you might just forgot to activate the selfsteering of the Highway Driver Assistant ;-) Press the Assistant button on the steering wheel once to activate the adaptive cruise control, press it again to add the active lane keep feature. The lane keeping feature you showed in the infotainment is just the "ping pong" which is standard on every new car. Best Regards (-:

[@bjornnyland]

Nope. This car didn't have it.

[@simondehaas8784]

Is this the same new battery/drivetrain as in the new Astra?

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

In Germany and probably some other EU countries Citroen just LOWERED the PRICES, making this more interesting. Good value.

[@peteschwarzer]

Is ec3 available in Norway?

[@wojciechmuras553]

Not yet, but word's out that it's coming pretty soon.

[@Yellowcar_Ams]

Are you also planning to test the new Jeep Avenger in the 1000km challange this fall? (Despite being the new drivetrain)

[@bjornnyland]

No

Those cables at opened to all SC are all twisted...

[@Smartphonekanalen]

What do you mean with a flat curve? Do you mean a normal curve? Edit: Well it maybe depends on what variable we plot.

[@bjornnyland]

Flat curve = slow taper

Do not recomend any stellantis car, all those cars from stellantis have several problems and give owners headaches. I personal have one for 2 years, and its beem like many others 6 monts inrepairs over warranty. No without warranty is again 3 weeks stoped to repair the fucking obc. stellantis only show you a midle finger when you complain

[@hartfischer5509]

Very disappointing. Ugly convoluted exterior. primitive interior. Nothing like what a Citroen should be. Quirky and weird, Citroen, yes, no problem. But primitive and unexciting, no.
