Comfort & Class
The Carbuyer judges praised ë-C3 for its levels of technology and equipment, comfort and build quality without compromising on price, feeling that New ë-C3 makes electric motoring affordable. New ë-C3 features Citroën Advanced Comfort® technology for the first time. This technology equips ë-C3 with Advanced Comfort® seats and Advanced Comfort® suspension meaning that ë-C3 benefits from the levels of comfort consumers expect from a Citroën.
Paul Barker, Editor of Carbuyer, said: “There were fears that small cars were going the way of the Dodo, but models like New Citroën ë-C3 show that couldn’t be further from the truth. We described it as the right car at the right time because it brings affordable electric motoring to the masses. Starting from just under £22k, here’s a stylish, practical and comfortable supermini with a 199-mile range and easy driving manners. Standard kit includes all the essentials, while the MAX trim adds luxuries like heated seats and even a defrosting windscreen.”
Greg Taylor, Managing Director Citroën UK, said: “We're delighted that New ë-C3 has won this award. It highlights Citroën’s commitment to electrification and determination to provide affordable EV options for our customers, making EVs accessible to all. I am thrilled by the ongoing positive reaction for New ë-C3.”
The Carbuyer Awards bring together a team of automotive experts who rigorously test the most notable cars on the UK market each year. To earn a "Best Car" title, a model must demonstrate excellence in key areas, including running costs, safety, technology, performance, and practicality.
