Citroën C3 2024– car dimensions: 4015 mm long, 1755 mm wide and 1577 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,416 kg. Braked towing is 550 kg.
The cabin has a high driving position with good visibility and Advanced Comfort seats that feel soft and supportive for everyday use. Base models use a smartphone dock for phone-based controls while higher grades add a 10.25-inch central touchscreen with wireless phone mirroring. Cruise control and speed limiter come as standard. Rear parking sensors are fitted across the range. Active Safety Brake provides automatic emergency braking and Active Lane Departure Warning helps keep the car in lane. A reversing camera appears on upper trims. Climate control is manual on lower grades and automatic on the top ones. Physical buttons handle the air settings so you avoid constant screen taps.
The boot holds 310 litres with the rear seats in place. Fold the 60/40 split rear bench and space grows to 1188 litres. The opening is tall but the load floor is not fully flat when seats are down and there is a lip at the entrance.
Towing capacity sits at 550 kg both braked and unbraked on the electric models. Payload reaches up to around 494 kg depending on battery and equipment. The car suits light everyday loads and short trips with a trailer or bike rack but is not built for heavy commercial work.
The cabin uses Citroën Advanced Comfort seats with extra high-density foam for a soft, supportive feel on long trips. Advanced Comfort suspension with progressive hydraulic cushions smooths bumps. The electric powertrain brings zero engine noise and vibration. Higher seating gives a commanding view and easier entry. Manual seat adjustments include driver height. Higher trims or packs add heated front seats, heated steering wheel and heated acoustic windscreen. The lounge-like layout feels open and calm for city and short motorway use.

The ë-C3 runs solely on electricity. Official combined consumption sits near 16-17 kWh/100 km depending on battery and conditions. WLTP range reaches about 320 km on the larger pack, with strong urban figures. DC fast charging hits 100 kW on the comfort-range version for a 20-80 percent top-up in roughly 26 minutes. AC onboard is 7.4 kW standard, 11 kW optional.
Servicing is lighter than on petrol models. No oil changes or timing belts. Checks focus on brakes, tyres, cabin filter, fluids, high-voltage battery health and software. Interval is 25 000 km or two years. Regenerative braking helps extend pad life. Plans and apps track battery state of health.
Safety equipment is comprehensive for the class: six airbags front, side and curtain, video-based autonomous emergency braking that works with pedestrians and cyclists, active lane keeping, driver attention monitoring and traffic-sign recognition. Hill-start assist, tyre-pressure warning and ESP are standard. No independent crash-test stars are available yet for the European car.
Daily ownership is straightforward. The MyCitroën app handles remote preconditioning, charging schedules and range planning. Standard warranty is three years. the traction battery has its own longer cover. Regular authorised servicing keeps everything in check and can extend coverage.
