About the Citroën ëC3
Citroën’s electric hatchback — a 29.2 kWh battery, ~320 km MIDC range and DC fast charging, one of India’s more affordable EVs.
The Citroën ëC3 is the all-electric version of the C3, offering an ARAI/MIDC range of about 320 km from a 29.2 kWh battery and a 56 bhp (42 kW) motor with single-speed automatic drive. DC fast charging takes it 10–80% in roughly 57 minutes.
It keeps the C3’s comfort-focused cabin, 10.2-inch touchscreen and connected-car features while adding EV-specific readouts. From around ₹9.5 lakh, the ëC3 is positioned as a practical, value city EV.

“The ëC3 is a refreshingly honest urban electric car—not flashy, but genuinely useful. With 320 km range, six airbags, and a sub-10 lakh entry price, it prioritizes substance over style. It's best suited for buyers who value real-world efficiency and safety without premium pretensions.

✓Stands out
- 320 km range makes daily commutes and weekend runs genuinely feasible
- Six airbags standard—solid safety coverage for the segment
- Efficient powertrain with standout energy efficiency score
- Accessible pricing under ₹10 lakh for a proper EV
- Practical 5-seater with usable 315-litre boot space
!Gives us pause
- 56 bhp feels modest for highway merging and sustained acceleration
- Limited tech features relative to segment expectations
- No ventilated seats or sunroof—comfort choices are minimal
- No ADAS functions means you're flying blind in modern traffic
- Charging infrastructure dependency remains a real constraint
