Lhe Citroën ë-C3, the latest entry into the electric car market, has had a bumpy ride since its release. It was originally promised by freedom WLTP for 320 kmCitroën had to reduce this estimate during its advertising campaign, then it surprised well by getting a guaranteed approval of 326 kilometers for the basic version, provided for 19.300 € and the bonus has already been used.

This data not only improves upon the previous version, but puts the ë-C3 at an advantage compared to its direct competitors, such as Dacia Spring restylée, which proclaims a unique freedom 225 km WLTP. Despite Dacia’s slightly lower price, to begin with 18.900 €Citroën seems to offer better value based on its better specs, such as more power and more generous dimensions.

A higher frequency version of the ë-C3, called Max and sold to 23.800 € bonus included, it promises a range of 321 kilometers despite its 17-inch rims and additional equipment that adds to the car’s weight. This slight decrease in freedom compared to the baseline model indicates that the impact of higher fines is small, while still maintaining a competitive offer in the market.

Citroën also planned to introduce a version with a single version small batterywhich will promise a range of 200 km and a potential price of less than €20,000, thus expanding the reach of its electric range.
