New ë-C3 marks a new chapter for Citroën. It delivers the height of comfort, an easy electric experience, an incredible level of useful equipment, and value for money. New Citroën ë-C3 is the first European-designed and European-built all-electric B-hatchback designed for customers looking for the the benefits of zero-emission mobility, such as the smooth ride and clean air zone compliance, at an affordable price.
Company Car & Van Editor & Publisher, Andrew Walker, said: “For the first time ever we've selected a car that we've not yet driven as our Car of the Year. How can that possibly be I hear you cry. Simple. It will cost just under £23,000, will offer a 199-mile electric range and comes with 100kW charging. If we are to get more people into an electric car, then New Citroën ë-C3 is the most compelling argument for an electric car yet. Our Car of the Year.”
