Citroën: Discover an exclusive preview of the future fully electric vehicle, the low-cost electric C3

Citroën is preparing a revolution with the next generation of the C3, which will be offered in a 100% electric version. The new ë-C3, expected for 2024, promises to be one of the big novelties of the coming year in the automotive sector of electric cars. The first information suggests particularly competitive prices, aiming to remain below the €25,000 mark, even before the application of any government aid such as the ecological bonus and the conversion bonus. To give a point of comparison, a current electric Peugeot 208 starts at €34,800.

A Cost-Effective Platform for Accessible Electric Mobility

This electric C3 will mark a turning point for the double chevron brand, which intends to exploit an economical version of the CMP platform, dubbed "Smart Car," also intended for use by Fiat and other car manufacturers. This platform has its origins in the design of the low-cost C3, specially designed for the Indian and South American markets.

Autonomy, Performance and Ease of Charging

The new C3, an all-electric vehicle, derived from the Indian version but reworked to adapt to European standards and expectations, will focus on the essentials, thus taking a similar approach to that of the Dacia Sandero. The director of Citroën also promised a range of at least 300 km for the basic version, a distance more than sufficient for daily use and daily journeys.

As far as engines are concerned, Citroën's electric C3 will be equipped with a high-performance electric motor, allowing it to offer a pleasant and dynamic drive. The lithium-ion batteries will guarantee a reliable autonomy suitable for daily journeys. In addition, to facilitate the transition to electric vehicles, Citroën has planned to develop a network of charging stations across Europe. Thus, users of the ë-C3 will be able to recharge their vehicle with ease thanks to the charging terminals. They will also be able to use a domestic socket to charge their car, in addition to public charging stations.

An Environmentally Friendly Electric Car

In addition to being respectful of the environment by emitting less CO2 and pollutants, this electric car will allow significant savings in terms of energy consumption.

Citroën's electric C3 will guarantee driving in zero-emission mode, thus helping to reduce environmental impact and CO2 emissions. With this new offer, Citroën aims to increase the number of electric car registrations and facilitate the transition to more environmentally friendly mobility with all-electric cars and rechargeable car models. With the evolution of the electricity grid and the growing interest in electric cars, the electric C3 could well mark the beginning of a new era of sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility.

An Affordable Alternative to High-End Electric Cars

It is important to note that this electric C3 aims to compete with electric car models from other manufacturers, including the famous Tesla Model 3. Citroën wishes to offer an affordable and competitive alternative for those who are considering the purchase of an electric vehicle. The electric C3 thus represents a promising option for drivers looking for an all-electric vehicle that is efficient, practical and respectful of the environment.
