CITROËN Ë-C3 AIRCROSS: BARGAIN OF THE YEAR OR JUST BLAND?

EV Channels Review

The Citroën ë-C3 Aircross positions itself as a highly affordable family electric SUV, with the reviewed 'Plus' trim starting at £22,000. Reviewers highlight its spacious interior and generous 460L boot, offering practicality for families. The "Citroën Advanced Comfort" seats and suspension are noted for providing a plush, albeit sometimes overly soft, ride, particularly on country roads where it can induce motion sickness. The infotainment system is described as "simplified" to the point of being basic, relying heavily on Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, with limited built-in features. While the "CZ Lounge" interior aims for a cozy feel with soft fabrics, some find it constricting. The reviewer acknowledges the car's core appeal lies in its accessible price point and essential functionality for those prioritizing budget over advanced features, but questions if "simplification" is a euphemism for "basic." The car offers two battery options, with the larger 54 kWh unit providing up to 249 miles WLTP range.
