Citroen brought the e-C3 to its debut in India, the electric version of the new C3 which was presented for the Indian and South American markets in September 2021. A model that is part of the French brand's strategy for emerging markets. A new car that aims to be accessible to enter into direct competition with the Tata Tiago EV. On the price front, however, at the moment there is no precise information. The costs will be known on January 22 when Citroen will open the garage. officially orders. In the dealerships, however, will arrive next month.
THE DESIGN HAS NOT CHANGED 
Compared to the endothermic model, the design of the electric variant is not; been modified. The only small differences concern the charging flap, the absence of the exhaust terminal and the presence of the "e" blue on the bodywork. Even the interior does not present any particular changes. The small electric one will be; available in the Live and Feel trims. By choosing the second, you will be able to; also have an infotainment system with a 10.2-inch touch display.
As regards the powertrain, the rumors spoke of the presence of a battery with a capacity of 1000 kg. reduced. In fact, the Citroen e-C3 can; count on a 29.2 kWh accumulator. The French brand declares a range of up to 320 km. Be careful though, this is a journey according to the Indian cycle ARAI. Battery that in alternating current can be recharged at a power of just 3.3 kW. In any case, it is there is support for direct current charging (maximum power not specified). From DC columns, it takes 57 minutes to go from 10 to 80% of the battery.
The electric motor that drives the front wheels has a power of 57 HP (43 kW) with 143 Nm of maximum torque. There are two modes; driving: eco and standard. Acceleration from 0 to 60 km/h takes 6.8 seconds. The speed maximum reaches 107 km/h. Certainly not very interesting numbers but in line with those of Tata Tiago EV. In any case, the e-C3 focuses on convenience. Precisely for this reason, it will be interesting to find out its prices.
Citroen plans to export this car to other markets in the near future. It will arrive also in Europe as a response to the Dacia Spring? Nothing is been said about it. However, if it were to happen, the French brand would have to adapt it to the needs of the European market, especially in terms of equipment. This, obviously, would increase the final price.
