These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Citroën ë-C4 and Toyota C-HR+ like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 161 miles for the Citroën ë-C4 and 235 miles for the Toyota C-HR+ - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Toyota C-HR+ goes roughly 75 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 30-30 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Citroën ë-C4 or the Toyota C-HR+?
The Citroën ë-C4 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 70 mm narrower than the Toyota C-HR+. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 600 mm of total clearance for the Citroën ë-C4 and about 530 mm of total clearance for the Toyota C-HR+.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Citroën ë-C4 or the Toyota C-HR+?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Citroën ë-C4 and 84% for the Toyota C-HR+. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
