This Tiny Car Drives Like a Rolls-Royce!

The Black Friday sale is now live:

This is the all- !

It's an all-electric version of the C3, and it's the second most affordable electric vehicle you can purchase in 2024, with a starting rate of just ₤ 21,900! The question is, at such a low price, is the quality so poor that it's not worth considering? Or does it use extraordinary value for money?

Well for starters, let's check out the design. At the front end, the looks pretty good, with clever LED headlights coupled with some real air breathers at the sides. The creases on the bonnet likewise help it stand apart. The side profile is reasonably standard, although the two-tone paint and roofing system bars help provide it a bit more function, as does the black trim around the wheel arches. It's a more unique take a look at the back, with LED tail lights that are just as wise as the headlights from the front. All-in, it certainly doesn't appear like a vehicle that costs less than ₤ 22,000!

The interior is a bit of an eccentric affair, but that's an advantage! There's a super-thin digital motorists display that offers all the details you would require, and there's a small infotainment screen in the centre of the dash which is pretty simple, but it offers the standard functions you would expect it to have. The seats are generally comfy enough, and while there may be some less expensive materials throughout the cabin, it's all quite well laid out and offers rather a lot of storage.

There's only one version of the EC3 readily available, and it comes with a single electric motor and the ability to produce 113hp. It likewise has actually a claimed range of 199 miles. If you're not looking for an EV, the petrol-powered C3 includes a 1.2-litre engine that can produce 100hp, and the cost of this begins at just ₤ 17,790!

So what do you believe? If you're trying to find a low-cost electric cars and truck, is the EC3 the wise choice? Stick to Mat to get a closer try to find yourself!

      Peugeot & Citroën have these massive badges to hide the radar & sensor system, which would otherwise be housed in a large black spot on the front bumper that might seem unnatural. Opel uses the ‘visor’ looks and the other Stellantis brands have roundabout ways of concealing the traffic sensors as well.

      100%, i would still wait for a better battery technology before buying EV because there are major improvements on the horizon, like lighter and more efficient batteries(lighter means also more powerful cars) + more resistant for temperatures, in my opinion car for 20k should have at least 350 km of range

      @@dawidjlb2589I understand we could be on the cusp of breaking new technology when it comes to EV batteries (solid state) but it won’t be another 10+ years till they are widespread across all price ranges. This is a similar analogy to phones although you don’t charge you car as often. What I mean is that there will always be a better one releasing after a while but if you need it right now or relatively soon you will buy the current one available, like this Citroen.
