It's clever to make a small, usable, fashionable electric car. But it's even cleverer to make it affordable in the way Citroen has with this e-C3. The company's future as an affordable mobility brand starts right here. This car could (and was expected to be) merely a repackaged version of other Stellantis Group small hatches like electric versions of the Vauxhall Corsa and Peugeot 208. Instead, it's a lot more - for a lot less.
Not everyone will like the squarical new looks or the divisively-styled cabin but customers are tolerant of individualistic design in this part of the market and those who like it will probably love it. We can't really see why you'd pay almost as much for the cheaper-feeling rival Dacia Spring with its feebler operating range. And we'd certainly think twice about paying vastly more for a more conventional electric supermini. We're still not being served up a small EV for the masses here, but the e-C3 gets closer to that goal than any car before it.
