Servicing follows a straightforward schedule of 25 000 km or one year for the petrol and hybrid engines. The pure-electric ë-C3 stretches the main interval to 25 000 km or two years after an earlier first check. Warranty starts at three years or 60 000 miles and can extend on drivetrain parts with dealer servicing.
Safety equipment is comprehensive from the base model: six airbags, ABS with electronic brake distribution, ESP, hill-start assist and tyre-pressure monitoring. Video-based Active Safety Brake, active lane-keeping and driver-attention alert form the core of the Safety Pack that is widely fitted. No Euro NCAP rating has been published for this generation yet.
Living with the car is simple thanks to the raised ride height that eases entry, modular 60/40 rear seats and useful cabin storage. Connected services and SOS call are available, while the Advanced Comfort suspension and seats keep daily journeys relaxed without complex extras.
