Citroen plans to tackle the new Chinese players in the European car market with its new e-C3 electric supermini priced under \u00a322,000<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The Citroen C3 is about to be reinvented as one of the UK\u2019s cheapest electric cars, as the brand has confirmed the new e-C3 will be unveiled on 17 October at noon.<\/p>\n

Along with the announcement, and an instruction to \u201cforget everything you know about electric cars\u201d, Citroen shared a rapid-fire teaser video that provides the briefest of glimpses of the electric supermini. However, it was enough for us to see a bold head- and tail-light design that's reminiscent of those on the Citroen Oli concept.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see plenty more of the e-C3 very soon, but we\u2019ve already learned that it\u2019s due to land at the start of 2024. It will also adopt a more cost-focused platform than many of its Stellantis Group stablemates and benefit from a \u2018fair deal\u2019 pricing structure that will reduce haggling. The end result, CEO Thierry Koskas told Auto Express in June, is a starting figure that should be under 25,000 euros (roughly \u00a321,600 now), potentially making the e-C3 more than \u00a310,000 cheaper than Vauxhall\u2019s Corsa Electric, and even undercutting some of the petrol-powered Corsa range.<\/p>\n
