Low Price and Crazy Equipment for the Premium Citroën ë-C3

The new Citroën ë-C3 is naturally highlighted by its prices, but beyond the numbers, there’s even more surprises.

Priced at only 27,800 euros, the top-of-the-line MAX trim of the new Citroën ë-C3 offers a standard equipment list worthy of a vehicle in a higher segment. Forget the roughness of the Dacia Spring, you’re stepping into a real good 100% electric car for less than… 23,000 euros! And yes, because it will of course be eligible for the Ecological Bonus, as it meets all the criteria of the ADEME.

For the first time in the city car segment, Citroën equips all versions of the new ë‑C3 as standard with its innovative and exclusive double hydraulic bump stop suspension system. Invisible to the driver and passengers, the Citroën Advanced Comfort® suspensions ensure a unique driving comfort thanks to the use of progressive hydraulic bump stops, allowing engineers to adjust the suspension more freely to give the impression that the car glides when driving over uneven terrain.

The Citroën Advanced Comfort seats in the new ë‑C3 are tailored to the car, using additional foams to provide a feeling of softness and welcome from the first contact, and good support regardless of the distance traveled.

In the center of the dashboard floats a 10.25-inch color infotainment screen, slightly tilted towards the driver. The absence of a traditional instrument cluster is a real novelty for this upper dashboard level. The new ë-C3 uses for the first time a new head-up display, Citroën Head Up Display, which reflects vehicle information on a shiny black area located between the top of the dashboard and the bottom of the windshield. This smart solution guarantees no duplication of information, as is traditionally the case between a head-up display and an instrument cluster, and allows drivers to easily access all the key information they need without taking their eyes off the road.

The top-tier MAX series also includes 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, Biton paint with a contrasting roof, decorative roof bars, front and rear protective plates, automatic wipers, power-folding and heated side mirrors, a leather-effect steering wheel, a second row of 60/40 foldable seats, driver seat adjustment, LED taillights, tinted rear windows, TEP/Fabric seats, automatic climate control, 3D navigation, wireless charging, a rearview camera, an electrochromatic rearview mirror, and electric rear windows.

Let’s recap. We have a modern, well-equipped, and reasonably priced car. But above all, we have a vehicle that stands alone in this market niche! A bargain? No. Simply the result of smart thinking by Citroën and a massive effort to bring this car to market as quickly as possible.
