Citroën is a brand synonymous with innovation and style, and the unveiling of the Citroën ë-C3 marks yet another milestone. The all-new, all-electric B-hatchback not only exudes modernity but also underscores the automaker’s commitment to accessible and sustainable mobility.
A Bold Leap Forward
The Citroën ë-C3 signifies more than just a new model; it embodies a transformative phase for the esteemed French automaker. With over 5.6 million units sold since its inception in 2002, the C3 has been the jewel in Citroën’s crown, accounting for a substantial portion of the brand’s European sales. Now, with the introduction of the ë-C3, Citroën is set to redefine benchmarks in the electric vehicle (EV) segment.
Driving Innovation
The Citroën ë-C3 stands out with its impressive design, advanced technology, and affordability. “Offering affordable vehicles has always been a significant part of Citroën’s DNA,” asserts CEO Thierry Koskas. The ë-C3 aligns with the modern driver’s expectations, combining the convenience and eco-friendliness of electric driving with the comfort and affordability typically associated with conventional vehicles.
Redefining Comfort
Comfort is intricately woven into the ë-C3’s design, fitted with the Citroën Advanced Comfort® Suspension – a feature previously unseen in the C3 line-up. According to Laurence Hansen, Citroën Product and Strategy Director, this innovation underscores the brand’s commitment to ensuring that drivers and passengers alike enjoy an unmatched level of comfort, likening the experience to a “magic carpet ride.”
Engineered for Excellence
The spacious interior, the Citroën Advanced Comfort® Seats, and an array of smart storage solutions accentuate the ë-C3’s practicality. The car isn’t just about comfort; performance is at its core. Powered by a 44kWh LFP battery, the ë-C3 promises a range of up to 320 km and supports fast charging, going from 20 to 80 percent in just 26 minutes.
Connected and Convenient
The introduction of the e-ROUTES App and the MyCitroën App epitomizes the seamless integration of technology and convenience. These applications not only enable real-time monitoring of the vehicle’s charging status and battery level but also enhance the overall driving experience through features like pre-heating or pre-cooling and route planning.

Affordability Meets Style

Nicolas Monnot, Citroën Vice President Global Pricing & Performance, highlights the brand’s dedication to offering transparency in pricing, ensuring customers enjoy a simplified and fair purchasing experience.
Two Tantalizing Trims
Available in “You” and “Max” versions, the ë-C3 caters to a variety of preferences. Both models are generously equipped, with the “Max” offering additional features like 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, two-tone paint, and a host of advanced infotainment and comfort features.
A Glimpse into the Future
The Citroën ë-C3 is a statement of Citroën’s vision for the future of mobility. Designed in Europe and built at the Stellantis Trnava manufacturing plant in Slovakia, the ë-C3 represents a harmonious blend of style, innovation, and affordability. As we look towards 2025, the anticipation builds for the introduction of a 200 km range version, priced at 19,990 Euros, marking another step in Citroën’s journey to make electric driving accessible to all.
The Citroën ë-C3 is a glimpse into the future of urban electric driving. It combines affordability, comfort, performance, and style, ensuring that drivers do not have to compromise one for the other. In the words of Citroën CEO Thierry Koskas, this is a bold step towards meeting the evolving expectations of drivers in the B-segment, marking the dawn of an exciting era where style, innovation, and affordability coexist harmoniously.
