The E-C4 X has a 2670mm wheelbase and is based on Stellantis\u2019 CMPplatform, just as the C4 is.The design direction was driven by Citroen CEO Vincent Cobee\u2019s claim that many customershave requested an \u201caffordable, responsible and elegant alternative to the mass of hatchbackand SUV offerings.\u201d Citroen wanted the car to fit in as part of the Citroen family whilstproviding drivers with a fresh and distinctive new look.The fastback design is sleek.
