Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video provided:The Citroen eC3 is a B-segment car and is one of the most affordable electric cars. The base model starts at about £21,995, while the Max version being reviewed costs £23,690. The range of this electric vehicle is 199 miles, according to the WLTP cycle.
Externally, the base model and the Max versions are identical. It has a taller SUV stance due to its height off the road and design of the wheel arches and roof rails. The car comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, and electrically folding mirrors.
The interior is less stark than expected with a multi-layered dashboard. This version has auto climate control, where the base version has manual control. It features a dot matrix information display near the windshield, and a 10-inch touch screen. The compact Peugeot-like steering wheel is ergonomic. There is some glossy black plastic, and the gear selector is the same as other Stellantis products.
Overall, the interior is pretty good for the price point, and it includes the upholstered dashboard and comfortable seats. The Max version adds rear electric windows, heated steering wheel, and heated seats. Legroom is a little tight in the back, but there is decent storage, including four USB-Cs. The boot space is 310 liters, of a good size and shape, but does have a load lip of about five to six inches. There is no front boot or underfloor storage, so the cable is stored loose.
Technically, all cars come with a responsive 10-inch touchscreen. There is no volume knob. Carplay is supported, but the car's infotainment is less advanced compared to that on the Fiat Grande Panda. The car does not have a start button, adding a bit of retro charm.
The 111 horsepower electric motor is sufficient for urban driving, and the 0-60 is about 10.9 seconds. This electric motor is mounted under the bonnet, in the location shared with hybrid versions of the vehicle.
The car isn't designed to be a cornering “hooligan.” Suspension is on the softer side, making it comfortable to drive. Driving overall is adequate for its price point.
