Video Summary
Here are the key points from the YouTube video review:- The Citroen EC3 is an important vehicle because it makes up 30% of Citroen's market share globally, but may not be 30% of the Irish market share.
- The Citroen EC3 is the fourth generation. Citroen has sold 5.6 million of them to date.
- The C3 is ten centimeters taller than the previous version with the same footprint.
- There is a lot of competition in the B segment, especially from BYD and Dacia.
- The reviewer is interested in the electric version, which is hoped will be about $25,000-$26,000 with no confirmation. It will have a 251 registration plate in Ireland.
- It has 2CV blue, reminiscent of the original.
- There's plenty of space for an aftermarket frunk.
- It has unique color-coded strips that can be changed.

- It is manufactured in Slovakia with fewer people to produce it with a cheaper battery.
- It has advanced suspension with hydraulic dampers on the top, taking heavier bumps out.

- It has 113 horsepower. There are not many drive modes.
- The vehicle has a highly utilitarian feel. But overall the reviewer is very happy with it, calling it a winner.
