Read our detailed first drive review to find out if it’s good enough to become one of our favouriteThe Stellantis group has repositioned Citroen as its value brand, to take on budget brand Dacia . Dacia’s cheapo EV, the, is coming to the UK in October 2024 and prices will start from £14,995.
Citroen has taken great delight in offering only the features customer say they want and use – but has it gone too far?Open the new Citroen e-C3, jump in and the plump, padded seats swaddle you like a hug from Jürgen Klopp. There’s even enough headroom for the gangly former Liverpool FC manager, allowing you to crank the seat high to see over the flat bonnet. It’s an imperious perch for a front-wheel drive supermini – the EV has 163mm of ground clearance on its 17-inch alloys.
The steering twirls breezily through low-speed manoeuvres, abetted by a parking camera on top-spec Max models ; use your eyes as the forward sensor. Get up to town speeds and the steering adds heft quite nicely but it’s languid swinging off dead-centre, and the nose is reluctant to swoop into corners.
The soft suspension is noticeable from the get-go, with accelerator and brake triggering some bobbing around. But Austria’s smooth roads are no test for Citroen’s hydraulic bump stops, which smoothly dissipate the energy from extreme suspension extensions or compressions and are fitted to a C3 for the first time.
Citroen says the battery can be charged from 20 to 80 per cent in 26 minutes, which sounds impressive but remember this is a modest battery. Max DC charging is actually just 100kW.
