The Citroën Ë-C3, an electric show of the French brand, stands out as an attractive option for those looking for an affordable electric car. With a starting rate at 19 990 € and state aid that drops the price to 15 990 €the Ë-C3 aims to capture the attention of drivers keeping an eye on their budget. This approach comes while Citroën works to strengthen its presence on the market and to restore its image after a difficult year.
A cheap and well -equipped model
The Citroën Ë-C3 has an electric motor from 82 ch and an LFP (Lithium-Fer-Phosphate) battery of 30 kWhguaranteeing an autonomy of 200 km According to the WLTP cycle. Those who want to reduce the charging time can opt for the fast charger of 30 kW.
The launch of this model was not a long, quiet river in January 2024, but Citroën is not killed. In June 2025, the brand plans to launch the Urban Range version, a more economical variation specially thought of for the city.
Commercial plan and rivalries
Citroën wishes to gain ground with this low-cost version of the Ë-C3. To date, more than 135,000 copies found takers, making this model the brand’s electric best-seller. The approach also aims to seduce those who hesitate before the Dacia Spring.
Faced with this competition, the Ë-C3 stands out above all by its attractive cost after subsidy. Conversely, Dacia does not benefit from the ecological bonus. The upcoming arrival of other models, such as the Renault 5 E-Tech and its “Five” version, could well change the market. These vehicles will offer engines up to 150 ch and autonomies that can climb to 410 kmwhich remains above the price of the Ë-C3, unlike the tesla Model lightened there, planned to revive the request.
The current situation and future projects
The year 2024 was filled with challenges for Citroën, especially because of the Takata airbags scandal which led to a so -called “stop drive” policy for certain customers. To get back on foot, Citroën is focusing on several new features planned for 2025: the launch of a restyled C4, the commercial start of the new C3 Aircross, as well as the renewal of the C5 Aircross and the arrival of a restyled Citroën Friend, while observing trends such as Mazda’s multi -energy strategy.
