The new Citroen C3 is now on sale in Irish dealerships at a starting price of €23,400 for both petrol and electric versions, writes Brian Byrne. A hybrid version is also available.
With SUV cues, the car is the tallest in its B-segment hatchback space, with key selling points being ease of getting in and out, and comfort. The company promises more elbow and knee room than the average in the market.
The C3 has been a key seller for the Citroen brand since it was launched, with over 6 million units sold since 2002.
In e-C3 format, the car has a rated range of 320 km, and an urban-centric variant with a 200 km range will be available next year.
The car offers a high degree of visual customisation, using two-tone paintwork and 'colour clips' to accentuate style details.
