Say bonjour to the new Citroen ë-C3 - a car that could well set a new benchmark for affordability in the small electric car sector. It’s set to launch in the UK next year with a price tag that could be as low as just £21,000. Too good to be true?
As of October 2023, there are just five electric cars on sale in the UK under £30k and not a single one under £25 thousand pounds. So that will make this car - Citroen c-C3 - which has been designed - and built - in Europe the most affordable electric car when it goes on sale at the start of 2024. And at a time when many car makers are stepping back from building small cars because of the challenge of making them profitable this is a bold move from Citroen.
The e-C3 is about the same size as the forthcoming Volkswagen ID2 and its overall footprint is no larger than the current C3. But while the VW doesn’t go on sale until 2025, you’ll only have to wait until the start of 2024 for this car. Which is great for impatient people like us!
The e-C3 gets an 113bhp electric motor at the front along with a 44kWh battery pack which will be good for 199 miles of WLTP driving range. You can also expect larger batteries to join the range, but they won’t - of course - come with that affordable £21k price tag. You get 100kW DC fast charging capability, which means it gets from 20 to 80 percent capacity in 26 minutes. While standard AC recharging can be done at either 7 or 11kWs.
Join Ginny as she takes a close look around the new Citroen ë-C3. What do you think? Will Citroen have a winner on its hands? As always, we love you hear your views, so let us know what you think in the comments below.

The most important plus here is that they finally also use LFP batteries because they can be constantly charged to 100%. This means you can always use the 44kWh which means it is factually as good as a 51kWh NmC battery (usually used) at 90% and even 0% better than that 51kWh battery (like in 208 or Corsa) at 80%. Not the least LFPs degrade much mich slower and a lot less, which is massive advantage with small batteries like this.
So 44kWh is plenty for practically all cases. And with 100kW charging it is like 2.5C which is also plenty fast enough.
Proves you can do it in Europe when Volkswagen and others blabber about how it is the low labour costs in Asia that make low prices possible. Rubbish.
But the screen above the steering wheel is not a HUD 😂
It may not be a HUD, but it is useful. I agree however with everything else you've said
@@Payteer I would love to have a HUD as standard in my Model 3 though 🤣
Absolutely. I dunno what VW is trying to do. They could do small cars with 30-35kWh if you could make LFP still charge at 100kW. And for even the ID7 they could sell with a 55-60kWh pack instead of the huge 77kWh pack with NMC that is barely going to compete with Tesla.
LFP batteries might degrade the same as Lithium Ion. No long term data available yet and constant rapid charging not good for any battery as that will shorten its life.
@@RB-lt8kt DC had no inpact on dwgradation in a big study on 10000s of Teslas in North America. Hot clinate does, though
Well done Citroen, finally a car that’s both affordable and relatively practical that will open up the EV market 👏
Is affordable but you get less per dollar spent. That is the problem with these legacy car makers.
They are using the platform from an indian car, just a different body on top.
But at least they are not as despicable as renault with their dacia spring which is literally a Dongfeng nanobox with slightly different headlights, sold for 3x the retail price in china.
Still be worth 10k in 3 years what's the point just buy a used nissan leaf or prius for the same and loose less money...
@@Luckyjo21Less than that. The Leaf will outlast this Franco-Indian mutt.
@@roberts.wilson1848 Wrong, this is designed and built for europe, as mentioned. It is not the same as the indian model.

Looks perfect for me. 63 years old and single. Mostly do trips to the shops, GP or hospital, or to visit my daughter & grandchildren 15 miles away. Longest 'regular' journey these days is Northampton to Weybridge and back to visit my father. Even when I was a bit younger and had a BMW 630, on my irregular trips from Surrey to Barrow-in-Furness to visit uncles & aunts I rarely did the circa 300 miles without stopping at least two or three times (usually Oxford services on M40 for breakfast, Stafford services on the M6 for lunch and a final stop at Lancaster) to "stretch my legs", so a 200 mile range (probably closer to 150 on motorways) is absolutely NOT a problem for me. I like the way it looks. Interior seems fine. Nice to see proper 'manual' controls for the heating. Boot is more than big enough for my needs (shopping or camera bags). £21k??? Bargain by modern EV prices.
Well done Citroen. If you can deliver this under £25k you'll be a market champion
I'd rather spend £27K and get an MG4 Standard Range.
@@stevenjones916 they don't appeal to me, what makes them better than the eC3?

Thank you Citroen... I've no time for all the expensive panzer wagons currently on the market. Hopefully real world range wont be too bad
finally we're getting somewhere with affordable electric cars
We arent honestly
@@davidlewis4399 Actually we are. Some, say, real 250Km range is more than enough for some 90% of our urban commuter use cases. Surely this is a "no frills", no compromise relatively affordable model, but safe enough for our needs here in Europe. If only I wasn't a nearly blind man, perhaps this would have been my next car and my first EV. The R5 and the VW ID.2 are just set to be shown on when they'd to be available. This one is still ready for order. I believe this will be the most sold EV next year here in Europe and with good perspectives to become the mainstream solution at this side of the pond for several years to come. The, say, real 150Km version set to enter the market by 2025 will perhaps to not sell as well, becoming such a niche market for some use cases.
This is going to sell incredibly well if they hit that price point. Great thing is, is it doesn't look like a 'cheap' car, looks fantastic!
at £21,000, it isn't a cheap car, just less ridiculously expensive than the other entry level EV options
They also forgot the 10% import duty on all EU EV's imported to the UK from Jan 2024 ouch.
@@davidlewis4399in that case 21000 + 10 / 100 * 21000 = 21000 + 2100 = £23100 which is still pretty good
@@BikingChapit's very cheap car
@@BikingChap It s cheap
Well done Citroen always exciting, comfortable , and always in touch with the real world.
The lack of a heatpump is a very big mistake. LFP batteries should ALWAYS be paired with a heatpump effective thermal management system
Example: Ora cat standard range. But the heat pump is awful and in winter it will cool but not heat the cabin until the batteries are well up to temperature
Wow, design language trickled down very tastefully from Oli onto ë-C3. Sweet.
A massive thumbs up to Citroen! Not only is it affordable, but it seems to have reasonable battery technology, looks better than many of their other models and keeps some quality at that price. It’s good to see a European manufacturer giving consumer what they’ve been asking for for a long while.
This is an important reason why the push to force everyone into EV's needs to be destroyed.

Seems an odd strategy for Stellantis, Citroen making a cheap EV, whereas Vauxhall and Peugeot are super expensive, very strange!
If it finally goes for that price, I am sure it will sell incredeably well
Until they work out the real range on a cold winters day and get stranded. Then they'll be back on the lot with the other Electric cars no one wants being slashed by 30/40% in desperation.
Hope that when they start selling it, customers don't have to "auction" for one like what happens in US, plus adding options don't pump the price up for another 10k
I think at £21,000 Citroën has finally brought something to the marketplace that is really desirable. I have the E-C4 and the space inside totally reasonable but it is a good bit more expensive than this E-C3
Given that the BYD Seagull is around £16-17k in Western markets, if it ever arrives, this Citroen e-C3 for a starting price of £21k seems like a better package. Bigger range, bigger space, more powerful motor, more than 2x the maximum charging speed, better interior quality.
The entry level Renault 5 will have very similar specs to this Citreon e-C3, with the option to upgrade a few things in the higher trim models. Europe got some homeruns here and they come to the market next year already. Who would have thought?!
In which Western market is the BYD seagull sold? I am not aware of it being available in any European market, is it available perhaps in Israel (asking as BYD has a large presence there). I cannot imagine it being sold in the Americas.
@@lozkko Americas? you know Americas is more than USA.
BYD bought a Ford car factory in Brazil and will start production by the end of the year, and 2 more in the future.
@@morganangel340 yes that is why I used the word Americas, to mean the continent of North, Central and South America. Even in many Latin American countries they like ridiculously big cars (for instance Mexico, the average car there is much bigger than in Europe). While in Brazil they would have no problem driving a BYD, I cannot imagine there being much demand for a car which is 3.7mt long. Though I have never been there, and maybe there is a thriving demand for A segment cars, let me know? FYI, I live in the UK and we have all BYD model but not the seagull, as it is deemed too small.
@@lozkko many SA cities are big and dense like Chinese cities (or New York, Tokyo, Seoul) with crazy traffick and lack of parking spots... cheap Seagull would do great there.
Anyone who didn't just fall for the "Europe falling behind in EV's" narrative?
It's great to see a lower price EV coming out, but to me this car really shows the negatives of SUV/crossover style. The bonnet is too long, the rear space looks small and the boot isn't particularly big. If the whole cabin was moved forward into a more MPV like style both would be better. (More like a jazz)
The new MINI SE coming in at £34k to £39k is madness. The Citroen looks massive all the same. Great a wee bit of plastic that can be pulled off by any prat 😂 So you find your favourite colour and the glue comes out 🤔
That is exactly what I thought when I saw the clip-off colour strips.
Or they will just fall off meaning you are polluting the environment.
Clip on bodywork... What's to stop the first person walking past unclipping them and putting them on Ebay? Or in the bin?
Good to see a car that's more affordable but, if we're so keen on saving the planet, why are we making cars that all have the aerodynamics of a barn door.
because that's, sadly, what todays buyer like.
It is also a consequence of speed limitation, which is great
Buttons, ICE comparable price, chunky styling, and high driving height? I think I've FINALLY found am EV I like. Just need to see more about its cold weather range now 😮
What we need is EVs 'ICE comparable pricing' but in the A segment, that's when it starts getting interesting. Until they can offer something that's not chinese or indian built for under £15k then it's not going to get the masses of private sales the likes of the C1 / Aygo used to get.
A mightily impressive Citroen. I hope this price is attainable when on sale 🙂
At last! Now we're starting to get a bit real with EV's. Well done Citroën (well, Stelantis) for going ahead with this.
Whether it hits the showrooms at this sort of price is, of course, another matter. If it does then Citroën are on to a winner. As a bonus it looks a bit quirky too...just a Citroën should. How refreshing.
They'll to have a quite nice 2024, time will tell about 2025 onward. They'll have no competitor at the segment for several months in 2024. The new R5 will only go for orders likely on March 2024 at best when Stellantis will be delivering their first E-C3 units. The VW ID-2 even later, perhaps only by the end of the year...
@@nunagorasThe VW ID.2 will only start selling in 2026, by that time new cheapper vehicles using the STLA small platform will be already here. But yhea, stellantis will have a great 2024, with the fiat 600e, the peugeot e3008, citroen ec3, lancia ypsilon, upgraded vehicles, alfa romeo milano in Europe, as well as dodge charger EV, Ram promaster EV, Ram 1500 REV, Jeep Wagonner S and Jeep Recon in NA
Great review, and good to see that LFP batteries are starting to be used in euro EVs too now
You do realise LFP batteries are the worst for spontaneous combustion? Chinese rubbish will soon be uninsurable.
@@tomk8729 sounds like a Mail Online story.. have you seen the LFP batteries being drilled with no effect? They are less combustible.
So the heads up display and small wheel are essentially a variation of the Peugeot I-cockpit. I love it.
A big nail in the coffin for ICE cars, well done Citroen. I wonder if the comfort suspension will be available on this. Recently hired a C3 aircross as loved the ride and handling.
the comfort suspension will be available on all C3 ë.👍
Great video, hopefully other manufacturers will jump on the same sort out pricing bandwagon 👍 😉
Really rather like the design. A bit boxy perhaps, might hurt highway speed efficiency a bit, but it does look good, and the front and rear light design is gorgeous in my opinion, very good use of LED lighting. Been riding a lot in my old dad's Renault Zoes (he's had the 2nd gen and now 3rd gen), and small electric cars are so practical and nimble. Not to mention supremely comfortable, with no engine vibrations, no gearbox jerking, quiet cabin, air conditioning, and all that good stuff. More choices in that size range can only be a good thing.
Rather prefer the old chevron design though, not sure why they felt a need to change it. *shrug* But, this is possibly the most useless complaint of them all, so well done Citroen - I wish them tremendous success. Would have hoped the same for Volvo's small(ish) new car whatsitscalled, but it is so damn expensive in comparison... :P
The new chevron is basically Gen Z minimalist trendy. And the E-C3 was designed nothing more than for Gen Z...
I don't believe retail at 21k but it's certainly a step in the right direction. Not immediately a wow but not discounted either. You asked a really good question in this - Why (the h/f) is it taking VW so long with the ID2??? After the initial reveals I went into my dealer to put my name down as interested but the salesguy just said not yet.... I get his view because he needs my money NOW, but the corporate silence is surprising. I guess they have a pipeline of SUV format lookalikes to churn through.
Final whine - when will someone make a 2 door ID2 sized electric car. Kids have their own cars now and 99.9% of my trips are just me... 2+2 would be perfect.
I need 4 doors for the dogs!
Why do you want _less_ doors? What is the benefit of less doors? It's not like car makers would reduce the price, the opposite in fact because it requires a separate bodyshell per door number.
Because I don't need or want 4.... The best looking reasonably sensible car *to me* is the VW Scirocco and would love an electric version... Seems good enough reasons to me. Not an expert but it also seems 2 doors is a stronger shell, less weight and fewer mechanisms to maintain/fail/repair.
Tbh, even asking that question is weird... Would it make sense for me to ask the other responder here why on earth he wants dogs. Nope.
If you want 2 doors then I think you'll love the Renault 5 and Alpine A290
@@shroomyesc Here's one benefit, load space. On a 3 door, the front seats fold. My new 4dr is bigger than my old 3dr, but I can no longer fit an IKEA bookcase in it.
I like it a lot (and im not an EV convert, yet).
thick end of 200 mile range, price and thoughtful touches are all v interesting.
Brilliant to see a decent size and quality Family size EV coming from a mainstream ICE manufacturer.... looking good
Brilliant review, brilliant editing. Oh, and brave & pratical C3!
Man, if they'd have reduced that ride height they could've got the magic 200 mile number. I know it's only 1 mile but EVs need to focus more on aero IMO.
They are high because you sit on top of 200 mm thidk batteries.
How does Tesla do it then?
Model 3 = 60&75kwh batteries and low overall height.
No higher than current Octavia, give or take.
@@petercurrell9344 they're really high because, sadly, the market currently wants overweight, ill handing 'cars on stilts'.
With LFP batteries it’s absolutely necessary to have a heatpump otherwise range and charging speed in cold climates are going to be very bad.
Looks a really good affordable EV option. But if Stellantis can produce this for £21k, why on Earth is the Corsa £35k?
Different platform
@@JackWeed-nm1vq true, but that doesn’t justify the ludicrous price of the Corsa
@@bill_heywood it’s doesn’t make the Corsa ‘good value’, but that is pretty standard for EVs. The Fiat 500, Mini are what 4-5k less expensive but the Corsa has a longer range and is a larger car. The EC3 is comparatively great value (still ££), but they achieved this using a platform we wouldn’t normally get in Europe, it’s a developing nations platform
Really nice price - here in Croatia there's a 10 thousand euros incentive for EVs so this will be cheaper than petrol C3
I have Citroen ë-C4X SHINE, nice car, consumption 11-13kWh/100km. 🙂
I hope Citroen keep to this price point as it would be very tempting for them to sell it at £24,999 and still claim it's the cheapest "proper" EV available.
Great report as always Ginny 👍
Winter in the UK is not that cold at all. I think LFP battery is perfect for the UK.
Well done Citroen, keep up the good work.
I have just taken delivery of a GWM funky cat, similar size, same range, but smaller boot and bigger price tag, over £32000, if this sells for £21000 then no contest, but what about solid state batteries, will they be a bit cheaper and longer range
This looks suspiciously like the Indian built version of the C3 which has a very low crash test rating sold only in "3rd world" markets. The C3 Air cross is the Euro version which is much more expensive than the C3 built in India for "3rd world" markets as they have said. Is this how they got the price down?
A family sized EV for the same price as an old-fashioned petrol Vauxhall Corsa. Pretty cool.
Looks alright. Leather seats are essential for people with dust mite allergy.
Will be surprised if it goes on sale anywhere near £21K - Citroen announced a Europe price of "starting from €25K" so expect the usual swap the currency symbols over and keep the figures, especially with UK import duties etc?
I suspect she was told the price was 25,000 Euros and concerted that into GBP but you and I both know that is *NOT* how industry works. Maybe someone should tell Ginny.
Corsa is smaller and both are made by Stellantis. The corsa is around £30000. Go figure.
It well be well over £21,000 here in the U.K. when it hits the showrooms. It’s just a fake figure to promote interest in the car, which it has done.
I love the way you review cars.
I have a 2010 c3 picasso it tows a small caravan perfectly.but I cant replace it with the new electric version as you can't tow anything with them
Thanks Ginny good to see some Olli influences. This should really sell well. Just sows. If Citroen can do it, others can too. Only caveat is the bTteries are made in China so the car may be subject to tariffs If Brussels bring them in
Was gonna pull the trigger on a Dolphin for my first EV, will get this instead :)
It's supposed to be €19,900 in France.
The only problem is that Citroen can’t do electrics. The Citroens I have had were a nightmare. A dealer had to buy one back of me because they were unable to diagnose the issue.
Great video, Ginny, you handled the balance between critique and praise carefully and well. Not sure about putting flags on cars- think Middle East at the moment, also if those flashes are pop out, then you can bet that people will and lose them, or take them. As always, Citroen leads the pack with design, innovation and focus on real people driving real journeys and not having too much real money. Love them for that. Gosh you do harvest a load of negativity on here, for no reason at all, it is just a car, some will like it some not. Feel sorry for you.
Long live Citroen ! I just love that brand !
Perhaps I missed it, but, does anyone know what warranty this car comes with?
Those removal strips will get nicked in no time.. ;)
Exactly what the market needs, should sell well especially if they can provide PCP deals of around £200 a month. Pity about the ice architecture but well done Citreon.
Give it a couple of years and you'll be able to buy one far that.
Nice look at what should be an urban success vehicle, thanks 👍
That boot lid sound so tiny. I love the design but it will be interesting to see what happens in EuroNCAP.
Finally....if it sticks with 21k price it would sell a bucket full, I have been waiting for realistic price point of 20k, well done
But will it really coat that much when it is released
Nice one. Finally a maker with common sense and still has some faith in the west without pricing everyone out of the ev market as every other auto brand has done.
Good to see Citroën are getting serious about EVs. Becoming more affordable now, although still some way to go. The petrol version of this is €17k in Holland, so €23k (assuming conversion from gbp 21k) is quite a premium. Still, well done and now build them in great numbers.
There's sometimes a RHD cost that means £ = € for European budget cars.
@@sIightIybored €23,300 apparently. BTW the Indian variant starts at €13,000 equivalent.
"magic carpet" ride - we have seen this from Citroen before, just means it will drive like a wallowing sofa.
Despite that it does look a really nice car, boot space, or more accurately lack of boot space makes it a non-starter for me. As for range, will be interesting to see what larger size batteries will be available - 220-250 miles at motorway speeds is what I want
A great preview and thank you.
When you look at this car and then compare to some very expensive and highly specced SUV with a huge battery and range to match, you have to wonder how the modern equivalent of the 1950s gas guzzler is going to age - and depreciate. Light high capacity solid state Li is already in sight from Toyota (2027 in quantity). From China there are already cheaper version of present Li chemistries. This Citroen is already taking advantage of these improvements.
The other thing I like about this car is that it gets back to a relatively simple interior spec without losing what you expect from a car in the 2020s. We really do not need the complex, and in my view unusable, interior, UI, and infotainment you get in - say - a high spec Mercedes. This Citroen is much closer in concept to the brief for the original Mini which was my first car in the mid 1970s, and much the better for it.
Glad they are also making this in an ICE version. Will be interesting to see how these are priced.
Oh dear…it is a compromise
@@markthomasson5077It is a STELLANTIS ! What did you expect ? 😂😂😂
Lovin the Cartier on the Ginny’s wrist, looks awesome!
I like the old Citroen logo more .... It is a bit too much, too big to put on the hood
If they can truly deliver this car at the quoted price, then bravo! This is the car we have all been waiting for. Of late most EVs are sold at starting prices in the $40k range. Here in the states, cheap EVs even if offered are usually marked up by dealers or loaded with so many extras that the price quickly shoots up by thousands of dollars. However, I remain skeptical that this low price will hold, but if it does, Citroen will sell all they produce.
For a brand new car I expected it to look a lot better than the Spring which is a lot older and based on a non Euro model. And its not that cheap.
My next electric car has arrived! Thank you Citroen, once again you pulled a nice car for the masses.
Great option if the price is kept when launched. It makes you wonder why they don’t just make a 20 cm longer version with 5 cm more leg room and 15 cm more boot. Same everything, just a bit more steel. And keep the same margins. THAT would have been a revolution.
Who is the cell
Provider?
Great Video!! The price is impressive 👌🏻
Don't agree it's a head up display as you have to look down to see it, cos it's where a Speedo has always been. Otherwise, an interesting review 👍
Great little car for the price.
Doesn't look very aero though. All those ICE style scoops and openings. Probably best around town, but high speed efficiency probably won't really be all that good.
This is the problem of going too out there with concept cars, they tried to graph angular headlights/taillights on a rounded budget car and it looks unresolved. The Indian market version is much better looking. Still, if it's a safe, reliable, cheap EV, I hope it sells well.
is 21k official or a ‘target’ like we see so much from chinese brands that then cost way more? if genuine, its a gamechanger - even with ‘city car’ range its enough to do longer trips occasionally. And 21k is pretty much what new ICE cost these days - polo/puma etc cost more
Nice, cheap car to runabout in. It's the size of a raised Polo so quite a small car and I like that size. My last car was a focus and I felt small in it which I didn't like.
Little colourful plastic strips that enable the owner to ‘customise’ the car. I suppose it gives something for the neighbourhood kids to steal.
Not nearly enough Olli; so far the Olli is the only EV that begins to tempt me. I expect battery prices to fall dramatically, probably within the next few years, and certainly within a decade. My Toyota Camry hybrid will probably be fine for as long as I can drive safely.
Lol. As a fellow Oli admirer I can relate. I would have grabbed the prototype & run away. 🤐
Mass production choices, norms and rules of the real world are always there to spoil the fun.
People are totally going to steal that colour insert 😂😂😂
Has it adaptive cruise control?
I'd also would like to know 👍
After looking at the review I’m wounding. It sounds like a sales add. Or is everything as perfect as it sounds? The presenter is a great member of the team here, but it’s strange how perfect the car is
Something to consider :
Peugeot (which is part of the same company as Citroën) sells the e208 starting at £32400 which is more than £10k more than the starting price of the Citroën, for 48miles of extra range...
Peugeot - Mainstream
Citroen - Low cost
Like in hotels, with 3*, 4* and 5* brands, also in cars we're starting to see segment differentiation by trademarks. Stellantis, the main group for both trademarks is making tat differentiation right now.
In Portugal they are selling it for €23.300
Competition for the ë-C3? The VW ID2 !?! Whaaat, you might say. Well, I just saw this crap statement on a German site. The ID2 might come out in 2026. Thank God Electrifying brings us no-nonsense, real-life reports void of such dribbling bias. Carry on Electrifying, I enjoy your channel immensely.
Loved the colour❤
Waiting for the first driving test and range :)
I like it. Four doors is a bonus vs other similar more expensive EVs that only have 2. It's practical for family uses. Pity about the boot . Its a bit smaller than my current petrol car offers in my city run-around. Its liveable with . We can adapt but why dont the seats fold fully down? ! . The price is just affordable for an average earning family but we would all like it even lower. Shame about the battery and possible cold start issue but if you have a garage it should be ok. Id like the battery to be Europe manufactured where labour laws protect people, but some of the eco credentials mentioned are a bonus no cobalt no child/ slave labour etc . Good range for a city runaround.Its top of my list for when my low emission city car packs in (fairly soon).
4:35 I'd imagine someone will 3D print those with different colours and stuff
When is there a 7 seat coming? I loved my grand Picasso and thats what I'm waiting for 🥰
I'd look at the I.D. Buzz 👍
The EC3 Aircross will have 7 seats probs 18months away
@swecreations I like the buzz but price to high, wow
@JackWeed-nm1vq thanks, I'll keep an eye for that, I like the aircross styling.

Thank you.
I thought I was a real Citroën Oli fan, but I had to learn, Ginny Buckly is the real Citroën Oli fan! ... The only thing I really miss; the production of the Citroën Oli!
In March I traded in my 20 year old C3 1.4 diesel that did 70 mpg so about 700 miles on a tank. I now have a Suzuki Ignis 1.2 soft hybrid. It does 65 mpg, better than it should! The tank is only 32 litres but it will do about 400 miles on a tank. I do like the look of this new C3 but 200 mile range is a no no for me.
I too have an Ignis and they are really fuel efficient and never seem to go wrong.
Seems promising. The only problem with these showcases and even test drivings, that they don't tell anything about the reliability. Who cares of nice details when you break down on the road.
Yes great car love it already, and the word affordable being used in the right context. So motor journalists will have to find new words to describe the cost of cars more expensive. Hip hip hooray .
Oli inspired look but i hope they make OLI into production
Finally a possible successor when my Renault Zoe has to be replaced!
Is it coming to India? If priced right it may be a game changer for Citroen.
Doubt it, the India spec C3 was designed primarily for India. Also given the Indian C3 is already criticised for being too expensive in India, this probably wouldn't stand a chance
India already has an electric version of the "emerging markets" version of the different C3 available in Brazil and India that only came on sale this year, so this is very much a Europe only vehicle.
The colored decorations that can be replaced come from the Opel Adam.
Where you could replace many different things, including the interior...
This is an absolute insignificance... compared to what you could do on the Adam, so now try to remember who should have the credit, and it's not Citroen with his little copy...
Would have loved the seats to be OLi seats...
It's not a bad little car cheers Jenny
