The most affordable electric car in the UK

A landmark event has just occurred. Citroen has recently announced the New E-C3 which is the most affordable all-electric vehicle on sale in the UK. Starting from under £23,000, this will bring electric motoring to drivers across the UK who previously thought it was unavailable to them.

The C3 line-up has proved to be an incredible success across the UK and the rest of Europe; selling 5.6 million vehicles since launch. Its latest model needed to make a statement and it really has!

Launched alongside the all-electric E-C3 is the New C3 with a petrol engine. Both will showcase a brand-new SUV-like design (inspired by the iconic Oli) and offer a step-up, with safety features and economy thanks to its lightweight body and highly efficient powertrains.

Range for the New Citroen E-C3 has been quoted as 199 miles (WLTP) which for the price point, is an incredible achievement. If the all-electric prowess of the New Citroen E-C3 wasn’t enough then the introduction of the Advanced Comfort system (as seen in the C4 range) makes its appearance in this model. Driving the New Citroen C3 range is an extremely comfortable experience. The clever Progressive Hydraulic Cushions are fitted to all trim levels to ensure that no pothole, speed bump or uneven surface will ruin your drive.

New Citroen C3 and E-C3 feature a taller frame which brings a level of space; adding to the feeling of comfort in the cockpit. Loadspace is a generous 310-litres (which can be increased when the seats are folded), so there will always be enough space for shopping.
Charging from 20% to 80% can be achieved in as little as 26 minutes, so it won’t be long until you’re back on the road, enjoying your journey once again.

The all-electric model even features two useful apps that allows for easier car and journey management. MyCitroen app can be used to pre-heat or cool the cabin before you step into the vehicle as well as observe service intervals and much more. The new Citroen e-Routes app offers efficient route planning ensuring you are kept in the know about live charging network data. Want to ensure that there’s space for you at the upcoming charging point? Citroen has you covered.

New Citroen C3 introduces the C-Zen Lounge: a driver focussed, uncluttered cockpit that does away with all the endless buttons and switches, transfers them to the huge 10.25-inch colour touchscreen (optional on YOU! Trim level) and even dispenses with the traditional instrument cluster. Instead, the Citroen Head-Up Display shows information that is not duplicated (as so often seen in other vehicles in this segment). The clever Head-Up Display is nestled within the chic design of the dashboard, you’ll wonder why no-one had thought of it sooner. All features of the C-Zen Lounge are made to give you an extremely comfortable journey (akin to enjoying your favourite armchair).

New Citroen E-C3 and New C3 are coming to Charters Citroen Aldershot early in 2024 and we expect demand to be high.
