In the race to become the first mainstream car maker to really build an affordable electric family hatchback Citroen hasn’t exactly been troubling the scorers to date.

Apart from a handful of plug-in hybrids that have been there or thereabouts and the crazy Ami city car – you can watch our video by clocking the link below - Citroen has seemingly been happy to watch stablemates Peugeot, DS and Vauxhall (the three other brands owned by the PSA Group) jump on the electric car bandwagon.

But now, finally, Citroen has its own contender. And, cleverly it’s pitching its newcomer – the snappily-titled e-C4 – not as yet another SUV but as a family five-door hatchback.

This might sound like marketing suicide given the car industry’s obsession with SUVs, but we think it’s something of a masterstroke. That’s because a quick look at the best-selling cars in the UK will tell you that the Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra actually account for way more sales than SUVs do.

We first saw this car earlier this year but Tom wasn't allowed to drive it. Now Citroen has finally relented and handed over the keys. Here's what Tom thinks.
