The European e-C3 is based on the same platform as the Indian model though it gets some notable differences.
Exterior Design
The European-spec e-C3 gets a more squared-off design and upfront it gets an enclosed black panel running between the headlamps housing the new-look Citroen grille. The vents on the bumper too are faux units while slim strip-like light clusters sit in
the side vents.
From the sides the European e-C3 shares some similarities with the India-spec model such as having cuts and creases on the front and rear fenders and a similar roofline and window line. Round the back, the bumper features a prominent faux skid plate element to add to the crossover design theme while the squared-out tail-lamps feature C-shaped segmented lighting elements and are joined by a black trim strip.
Side Profile Design
The interior too has little in common with the India model. While it does get bits such as the rectangular air-con vents – vertical on the sides and horizontal in the centre, the entire dashboard design is different. The central air-con vents sit at the base of a shelf-like element that runs the width of the dashboard.
Interiors
Coming to the powertrain, the European e-C3 features a 44 kWh battery pack giving it a range of up to 320 km per charge. The battery is paired with a 111 bhp electric motor that will propel the EV from 0-100 kmph in 11 seconds. Top speed is claimed to be 135 kmph.
Powertrain Options
Citroen says the European-spec e-C3 supports up to 100 kW DC Fast charging that can charge up the battery from 20-80 per cent in 26 minutes. The e-C3 will also be offered with 7kW and 11kW AC chargers that will achieve the same in a claimed 4 hours 10 min and 2 hour 50 min respectively.
