CITROEN C3 - COMPACT BUT NOT SMALL

EV Channels Review

The Citroen C3 electric is presented as a budget-friendly urban EV, starting under €25,000. The reviewer highlights its surprisingly spacious interior and comfortable ride, particularly on uneven surfaces, making it a practical choice for city driving and families. Positives include ample headroom and legroom, a usable boot space exceeding 300L, and a functional, button-heavy interior that avoids complex touch interfaces. However, the reviewer criticizes the unconventional steering wheel shape as awkward and unnecessary, the distant driver's display, and the lack of a standard start button. While the electric powertrain is deemed adequate for city speeds, it's considered underpowered for highway use and overtaking. The real-world range is estimated around 300km WLTP. The higher trim level is recommended over the base model, which lacks a central screen.
