  • Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
  • Electric cars produce no exhaust CO2; range and miles per kWh are VCA’s official figures.
  • A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “E-C4 X”, “E-C4”. How we use VCA’s figures.

The other recall

  • 13 Jan 2022 The open circuit detection system could be over sensitive causing a number of operational issues (194 (all models) vehicles)

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Citroën E-C4. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
