This is the third time we have driven the C3 in the past year, so we clearly know what the C3 is by now. In short, it's a small hatchback (Citroën's words) that aims to offer comfort, practicality, and a bit of French flair with its quirky design to customers of the budget cars segment. Now, the eC3's aim also is pretty much the same, except for the fact that it's an electric alternative for those on a strict budget. At the time of writing this review, we still don't know how Citroën will price the eC3, but we can safely say it's going to be a budget offering. Will it undercut the Tiago.ev? Well, that's a question for another day, for the price of the eC3 will be revealed in February. So, let's not waste any more time and get back into the driver's seat and find out how does the eC3 drive?
IS IT ELECTRIC?
Well, no. Yes, it has an electric powertrain underneath its bonnet, but if I were to put you in the driver's seat without telling you that it's an electric car, you would hardly notice any difference. There is no instant torque madness that we have come to expect from EVs, and it behaves more like a studious kid who sits in the first row in a class rather than back-benchers who often interrupt the class with their antics. And that's a good thing. Most people looking to buy an EV on a budget want a quiet driving experience which doesn't require them to relearn how to drive a car.
