Citroën Ë‑C3 earns full marks from Auto Express

It's a full five-star rating for Auto Express' reigning Car of the Year!


In a standout moment for affordable electric vehicles, Auto Express awarded the new Citroën ë‑C3 a full 5/5 stars in its comprehensive review.

Read below for a snippet of Auto Express' review:

"When the era of electric cars really took off, we always felt that the technology would make the most sense powering small, affordable and clean transport. Following an initial diversion via some large, very expensive SUVs, it feels like the industry - and particularly Citroen - has finally landed on the ideal formula. It’s not only the price point of the e-C3 that appeals, however; Citroen has produced a supermini with class-leading comfort and plenty of space, all while creating a car that doesn’t feel like it’s unduly compromised by its low price point. The e-C3 really is a benchmark for the rest to aim for.

One of the first things that springs to mind when we think of Citroens is pillowy soft ride comfort, and that’s certainly the case with the e-C3. The brand’s Advanced Comfort tech makes use of the hydraulic bump stops already fitted to many Citroens; these help to reduce the shock at the top of the car’s suspension travel, enabling the primary springs and dampers to be tuned for a softer response without unduly compromising body control. Around town, this means that the C3’s ride is very forgiving, soaking up imperfections that would jostle and rattle many of its competitors." 


The e-C3 delivers a simple, affordable EV at a price that shames many small petrol cars. It’s among the most comfortable and spacious models money can buy, with just enough technology and style to help it stand out.
