The Citroen e-C3 is a complete family hatchback in an EV avatar. It comes with a comprehensive set of features. It has excellent safety standards but only a single-battery option to choose from. The car's overall look and practical features appeal to both younger and older generations. This makes it an ideal choice for families in this competitive segment.

Variant Recommendation

author

The Citroen e-C3 comes in 2 variants. Since it has Live and Feel variants, we would recommend going for the Feel variant. This variant misses on some features but is a Value-for-money variant. You can choose the Feel Vibe or Feel dual-tone variant for a complete package and dual-tone treatment. We don’t recommend these variants. We don’t feel they offer value for money. You can choose according to your preference.

    • Supports DC fast charging.
    • With DC fast charging, it goes from 10% to 80% in 55 minutes.

Should I buy the eC3?

If you are looking for a fun-to-drive, powerful EV then Citroen e-C3 is a great choice. It not only provides good performance but also a decent range with good looks. It provides comfort, and features, and is a head-turner for people who don’t know about it. Packed as a well-equipped machine, it’s the perfect choice for you if you are looking for something different.

Bold design 8
  • The Citroen E-C3 is identical to the regular C3 in design language. The bold front face, LED DRLs, and chrome grill connect. They give it a good treatment with multi-color pallet.
  • The throw of headlights is decent but fog lamps enhance the visibility at night. The dual-tone treatment gives a more aesthetic appearance.
  • The 15” alloy wheels and wide body cladding with white inserts give it a mixed appeal. The old school door handles also add to this appeal. The indicator placement at the front fenders does not justify the price tag.
  • At the rear, it is identical to a regular C3. The boot space, taillights, and dual-tone treatment maintain its character and charm.
Charging time 7
  • The e-C3 has an option for both AC and DC charging option. It comes with a 29.2 kWh battery that charges completely in 12 hours through an AC slow charger.
  • The DC fast charger charges the battery up to 80% in less than an hour. Since the charging infrastructure is improving, the availability of the charger will increase.
Decent interiors with good features 8
  • The interiors of the e-C3 and regular C3 are very similar. The dual-tone treatment gives it a good appeal inside the cabin.
  • The cabin space is very good. The touch and feel of the cabin is on the premium side but some touchpoints could have been better in quality.
  • The 10.25” touchscreen infotainment system is user-friendly. It has wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The downside is that it still misses the fully automatic climate control.
Performance and range 8
  • The e-C3 comes with a 29.2 kWh battery pack that produces 57 BHP of power and 147 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a PMSM motor.
  • The main issue is the claimed range of 320 km, but in real life, it would return about 200-250 km on a full charge.
  • The power delivery is linear and the top speed is 110 Km/h.

Latest On Citroen eC3

Last Updated on 12th March'24: Citroen India has heeded the voices of its customers and is making significant upgrades to its lineup. Soon, the Citroen C3, eC3, and the C3 Aircross models will come with standard features that match or even exceed industry norms.

Citroen C3 EV Motor: We anticipate Citroen will give the new EV at least a 30 kWh + battery pack under the hood, providing a claimed range of 300–350 kilometres on a single charge.

Citroen C3 EV Features: The EV is expected to carry the same features as its ICE sibling. The features of the ICE variants include a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment, Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, a digital instrument cluster, dual-front airbags, ABS and more.

Citroen C3 EV Pricing: The price of the upcoming EV would probably be comparable to that of the Tata Tiago EV, which is in the range of Rs. 10–12 lakh (ex-showroom).

Citroen C3 EV Rivals: The main rivals of the Citroen C3 will be Tata Tiago EV, Tata Tigor EV, PMV EaS-E.
