New Citroen ë-C3

Available to order at Motorvogue Citroen Bury St Edmunds

The all-new, all-electric ë-C3 delivers best-in-class comfort, an easy electric experience, an outstanding level of useful equipment, and incredible value for money.​

100% Electric

​New ë-C3 uses a 44kWh LFP (Lithium Ferro Phosphate) battery pack to deliver up to 199 miles of driving range (WLTP combined cycle) providing a smooth all-electric performance and elegant simplicity at astonishing value.

Standard AC fast charging from 20% to 80% takes around four hours and 10 minutes using a 7.4kW charger, or two hours and 50 minutes with the optional 11kW on-board charger. The 100kW DC rapid charging capabilities allow charging from 20% to 80% in as little as 26 minutes.

With its 113hp (83kW) electric motor and automatic transmission accelerating the car from 0-62mph in around 11 seconds, and with a provisional top speed of 84mph, New ë-C3 delivers more than enough performance to deal with everyday driving, particularly in urban and suburban environments.

Plan your journeys as well as monitor the charging status and battery level in real time, and enjoy a complete navigation experience, thanks to the new e-ROUTES app. This app is specifically for Citroën electric vehicles as part of the ‘Connect Plus’ connected services subscription.

Using the MyCitroën smartphone app, New ë-C3 drivers can manage charging schedules, check the battery level and location, as well as precondition the cabin of MAX versions.  

Stylish by Design

New C3 displays the brand’s new design identity and logo, with a redesigned front end featuring an elegant new lighting signature with LED headlights as standard.

Also standard are the black wheel arch extensions, front and rear skid plates and a two-tone roof with roof rails. New C3 will be available in six colours: Polar White, Monte Carlo Blue, Mercury Grey. Perla Nera Black, Bright Blue, and Elixir Red. New C3 also comes with stylish exterior colour clips, available in Infra Red, Yellow Lemon and White.

At the front, the taller, more vertical face incorporates a large new oval ‘chevron’ logo proudly sitting centrally and reinforced on each side by gloss black horizontal grilles featuring an eye-catching and technical interpretation of the chevrons, inspired by architectural parametric designs. A major element is the distinctive new design of the front and rear lights, which feature a unique three-level lighting signature with one vertical and two horizontal lenses that look like blades. The short, high, and horizontal bonnet features sculpted surfaces, which catch the light and contrast with the more vertical front profile, feeding into a larger, more upright windscreen, and giving the car more volume and accentuating the feeling of protection.

Visible in the side profile are front and rear technically sculpted undercut lines, which flow through the beltline into the new signature lighting clusters and subtle creases in the door panels, all of which catch the light and add visual interest.

The signature identity continues at the rear with technical sculpting in the lower part of the rear tailgate, above which sits a horizontal gloss black decorative strip featuring the same chevron-inspired technical pattern used on the vertical front face and flanking the large, centrally positioned new oval Citroën logo. New signature tail light clusters push into the vehicle corners and comprise two horizontal and one vertical lens, echoing the front clusters. Below the opening hatch, a strong bumper is squared off at the outer corners to aid aerodynamics and further heighten the assertive stance of the car.  

Interior for Class-Leading Comfort

The spacious interior has been crafted around simple and refined surfaces, to provide occupants with an ambience similar to that of their home living room or lounge. All-new ë-C3’s Citroën Advanced Comfort® Seats are specifically tailored for the car, and use additional foam to provide a welcoming and soft feel from first contact. The seats remain supple and supportive whatever the length of the journey.

The comfortable feeling continues thanks to the all-new vehicle design, which at 1.57m high, provides front seat occupants with 30mm more headroom than before, for a higher, more commanding driving position with an enhanced feeling of control and safety. Everyone on-board benefits from greater outward visibility, helping to boost the feeling of well-being and serenity. In fact, the all-new ë-C3 is roomier inside in almost every dimension than its predecessor, despite being only 19mm longer and 6mm wider. Rear passenger elbowroom is superior by 19mm, and by 21mm in the front, compared to the market average, while rear seat knee clearance is best-in-class, at least 20mm greater than the average.

Carrying items and luggage is easy in the all-new ë-C3. Its taller interior is filled with useful and smart stowage areas – on the door panels, the centre console, and under the central armrest – while a wireless charging mat is available for the centre console (standard on ‘MAX’ versions). Comfortable 60-40 rear seat modularity (standard on ‘PLUS’ and ‘MAX’ versions), and width between rear wheel arches of 1015mm ensures that owners can transport larger objects whenever they need to. The generous 310-litres of luggage volume behind the rear seats should be ample for most shopping trips.

At 1.57m high (excluding roof bars), the all-new ë-C3 is taller than its predecessor, and benefits from SUV-style ground clearance to make access easier and to provide a more assured ride over the speed bumps, kerbs, and potholes, which are often encountered in urban and suburban driving. Ground clearance is an impressive 163mm for the all-electric ë-C3 compared to a ground clearance of 135mm in the previous C3 model.

Driver Assistance Features that Care

The all-new ë-C3’s comprehensive collection of the latest Citroën driver assistance technologies is engineered to care for the minds and bodies of every occupant, particularly the driver, and include:

• Active Safety Brake is an emergency braking system operating above three miles per hour, to help reduce injuries to vehicle occupants as well as pedestrians and cyclists.
• Active Lane Departure Warning System helps the driver to maintain correct positioning between road lane markings by either gently correcting the steering as the car drifts out of its lane, or by alerting the driver to drifting at lower speeds. It operates above 37mph and is disabled when turn signals are in use.
• Driver Attention Alert informs the driver if the trajectory of the vehicle is inappropriate within its lane. This two-step alert first detects vehicle swaying and alerts the driver with a sound and message to ‘Drive Carefully’, then sounds an additional alert and message advising ‘Dangerous Driving’ once four sways are detected. Coffee Break Alert advises the driver to take a break after two hours of continuous driving at more than 40mph, and is repeated every hour after that if no break is taken.
• Speed Limit Recognition reads speed limit signs and displays these on the Citroën Head-Up Display to inform the driver. This smart system leverages speed limit data held in the navigation system and can also read temporary speed limit signs. The Cruise Control with Speed Limiter allows the driver to restrict their maximum speed to ensure compliance.
• The Electric Parking Brake is applied automatically when the car is turned off, and releases automatically when the accelerator is pressed. The driver can operate the Electric Parking Brake manually via a control lever in the centre console. Additionally, Hill Start Assist holds the vehicle for several seconds on slopes greater than three percent to help the driver prevent unwanted movement.     
• Intelligent Beam Headlights use the windscreen-mounted camera to automatically switch between dipped and main beams when oncoming vehicles are detected and pass safely.

Rear Parking Sensors audibly warn the driver of obstacles during reversing manoeuvres. A Rear Camera is activated when reverse gear is engaged to provide a view behind the vehicle and warn the driver of possible obstacles via the 10.25-inch colour screen (where fitted).​
