Citroën e-C3 is a small battery electric car positioned in the B-segment. It uses a hatchback body with crossover-inspired styling. The model targets urban and suburban driving rather than long-distance travel.
The European version uses a 44 kWh battery pack. WLTP range is around 320 km. Real-world range typically falls lower depending on speed and climate use. DC fast charging supports up to 100 kW. AC charging is rated at 7.4 kW using a wallbox.
Citroën places the e-C3 in the affordable EV category. Pricing undercuts many mainstream compact EVs. The model suits city drivers, first-time EV buyers, and households seeking a second car. Within the brand, buyers may also consider the Citroën e-C4 and e-Berlingo. Alternatives include the Dacia Spring and Peugeot e-208. Compared with the Dacia Spring, the e-C3 offers more power, more space, and higher charging speed.
