NEW CITROEN C3 REVIEW: IT DRIVES LIKE A ROLLS-ROYCE!

EV Channels Review

The Citroen E-C3 Max is presented as a compellingly affordable electric vehicle, aiming to offer significant value for its sub-£24,000 price point (after potential savings). The reviewer highlights its surprisingly attractive exterior design, which belies its cost, and a quirky yet functional interior featuring a clear digital display and accessible physical controls. The ride comfort is a standout positive, with the suspension praised for its ability to smooth out bumps, drawing a comparison to luxury vehicles like Rolls-Royce. However, the E-C3 is not without its drawbacks. The reviewer notes the use of scratchy plastics in some areas, a lack of padding on door armrests, and a peculiar absence of a vanity mirror light. Practicality is also a mixed bag, with good rear passenger space and ample storage, but a high load lip when seats are folded and fiddly ISOFIX points. Real-world range is estimated to be around 150-160 miles, lower than the claimed 199, due to the lack of a heat pump. Despite these compromises, the reviewer concludes that for those seeking an affordable EV, the E-C3 is a strong contender and a "rather good" option.
