Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review of the Citroen e-C3 electric car:The e-C3, priced at £21,990 on the road, looks cool, especially in Monte Carlo Blue with a white roof.
Driving the e-C3 is easy, especially in town, with plenty of power for pulling away from traffic.
The 0-60 mph time is around a second faster than the 1.2 petrol manual version. It has 113 horsepower, which is 30 more than the petrol engine.
The suspension has nicely sprung dampers and hydraulic bump stops, making it comfortable, even over speed bumps with three passengers.
The ergonomically designed dashboard features a clear speed display and battery percentage. A small screen shows mileage and range, which can be cycled through using a stalk. The tested range was 180 miles, but the WLTP tested range is 199 miles. The test was done with low temperatures, three people, and the heater on.
It includes a button to turn off the speed limit warning and another for the lane keep assist, making it easy to disengage safety features. However, these features reset each time the car is started.
The climate controls are physical buttons, and the 10-inch touchscreen features wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The C3 has borrowed heavily from the Citroen Oli concept.
Orange highlights continue around from the front to the rear, and into the orange “have fun” tags inside.
Monte Carlo Blue comes standard with a white roof. A no-cost color roof is an option on models other than Monte Carlo Blue.
It has 17-inch alloy wheels with 50-profile tires.
The door handles and mirrors are black gloss, and there are black roof bars.
Its wheel arches have chevron patterns.
The car has a charging flap at the rear.
From the back, it looks a lot like the Citroen C3 Aircross previous version, which makes it looks bigger and more practical inside.
Rear passengers have lots of leg room because there are cut-outs in the seat backs, and there are decent sized door pockets.
The car can be comfortably fit for four adults or for three kids.
The car has a map pocket behind the seat and smaller pocket for a mobile phone.
Electric windows and Isofix in the back.
The 310-liter boot is a decent size, and would have a spare wheel, except that the batteries are located below the cargo.
The e-C3 has a 44-kilowatt hour battery with a 7.4-kilowatt max onboard charger. It takes six hours to fully charge at home.
The rapid-charging feature can charge from 20-80 percent in 26 minutes.
Average drivers will get better use from the car because it is comfortable, easy to drive, has good maneuverability, the back-up camera, and parking sensors. The tires have excellent suspension for rural drives and are excellent shock absorbers. Also, the noise-canceling windshield made for a quiet ride.
The e-C3 electric car is fantastic, looks great, and follows Citroen’s quirky roots.
