Yep. Can very quickly make up the difference in price with savings you get from not buying petrol. Still wish the electric versions were the same price as the petrol versions though.
I think it is absolutely crazy that you had to point out that theres a button to turn off the speed limit warning. Why cant all the manufacturer be like this? Nice job Citroen! Seems like this is hard to do that…. Really cool car!
For a budget car, a Citroen is smooth, quiet and comfortable. Getting away from highly stressed noisy tiny engines is well worth the additional money. Not to mention the monthly running costs drop from around £150/mth down to £25/mth in electric.

Matt didn't mention that this car has LFP-chemistry batteries. Meaning: good for 300k miles, probably! (However: LFPs charge really slow in the wintertime, so winter holiday travellers beware!)
I think this new Citroën C3 is one of the best options at the moment for the B segment. Quirky and stylish, comfortable and tech, i would buy one! Well done Citroën 🎉
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.
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.

Dumb is more like it, sorry to be that blunt. Who in his right mind tries to mount the child seat with an attached removeable base instead of mounting the base and then the child seat? That's bound to be nigh to impossible and also more than likely to damage the car. Of course, if it isn't your car you probably wouldn't bother ...
18:20 - this! I have a Peugeot e208 which just by watching this shares lots of parts with the Citroen and mine has the ability to turn off Lane Assist with the same button. It’s absolutely essential IMHO, with it on it’s dangerous to drive. Mine can be permanently off, not sure with the Citroen if you’ll have to switch it off each time. I’ll be changing cars next year so will definitely look at the Citroen. Main reservation is it will only do 150-180 miles in the real world, but considering it’s £10k cheaper than the e208, if it’s a lot cheaper to lease than I’d be fine with that.
I loved how you pointed out the comfort aspect because it's what made me buy a BEV in 2020 after my Seat broke down (VW's got life-long timing chains which fail at 100000 miles...). Vibration-free, gear-shift-free, silent traction. Remote heating (no scratching, no fog, no freezing) and cooling (less sweating); hot air quickly available. Plentiful power available without delay. I saved 13000 € of gas costs, and now I have a more modern BEV while my parents drive my old one.
Maybe so, but you can't deny the integrated chevrons in the previous generation of Citroëns was much better. Very few manufacturers are able to come up with something so clever.

Install a home charger , most of our daily trips are easily within the 200-mile range of most EVs. Public charging stations also generally offer more capacity than many realise; in my six years of EV ownership, I’ve never had to wait for a charge. It’s surprising how many misconceptions exist about EVs from those who haven’t driven one. The reality is that they’re practical, very convenient, and easily integrate into most lifestyles.
@@siraff4461 There are some options out there for home charging even without a private driveway. However, without the ability to charge at home, you miss out on one of the biggest advantages of EV ownership: waking up to a fully charged car every morning without having to think about it.
I’ve owned & driven a few 3 cylinder cars, I actually like the noise they make, it more interesting than a normal 4 cylinder, I’m a big fan of the C3, this version & the last were great cars
Yeah but stellantis motors are just awful, and if you have one and it broke they won't help you fix that shitty motor. They make them to be available cars, at 80k km they all broke down (what a coincidence) and get a new one
The C3 Mk. III is an okay car at best. Almost none of the "assistants" work properly (i.e. nervous auto windscreen wiper). The seats are too soft, cup holders get blocked by the centre display, rear seats don't fold flat, the trunk is too deep/low, etc.
That's what I love about electric cars. The smoothness of the drive. I live in one of the busiest areas in Europe so I basically always drive in traffic jam. And electric cars are just perfect for that. No gear change, no engine rumble, no wasting energy when standing still, only using little energy when accelerating a little bit ... and all that in total silence. Perfect.
So like a plug-in hybrid only heavier, more wasteful of resources and still with range and charge time limitations. If you are always in a traffic jam thats a problem with the town planners. Properly planned out that should never happen but instead of desiging the infrastructure properly why not just keep buying really heavy, resource hungry cars and pretending it helps?
2:49 its not just that its faster for £4,000 more, maybe some people like the ev version and it suits their needs better than the gas version, so the extra cost is worth it It’s not all about performance
@@norwegianzoundand when that happens these things called rapid chargers exist. I mean there’s just shy of 14,000 rapid chargers installed with 247 of them being in the last month alone.
Except when you go on a long trip. Driving an electric car on a long trip would be a pain, even with "rapid chargers" - still going to take you 30/40 minutes per stop, and there's likely to be several stops! A ICE car will do 400/500 miles and then only few minutes to fill up.

I will never buy a car that beeps and bongs about everything.. especially going +1 over an imaginary speedlimit that the car thinks the road is limited to.
You’ll struggle to find one that doesn’t. As far as I know it’s an EU rule. It drives you nuts and to make life even nicer you can’t switch them off permanently nowadays, they switch on every time you switch off and on again. I don’t think it’s a safety feature to have the wheel wrenched out of your hands when you go near a white line. I’m keeping my 2022 car forever because it has switches for stuff and you can disable all that stuff forever.
@@12alocinAnything pre 2022 should be OK. Good low mileage car then just keep it. Modern interiors are not for me! The warnings have gone over the top to the point of being distracting which is counter productive.
If you’re in the market for a low(er) cost EV for town duties, this could be perfect. With the Mini, R5 and Fiat 600/Jeep Avenger, the options for EVs in that category are really improving. 👍🏻
I've been getting a sense that cars lately are growing blander and interchangeable, and I feel like this Citroen is the tipping point for me. I couldn't be less interested in it. It may as well be a Fiat or Renault or Chevy or whatever. May as well not even exist.
Not bad at all. Good value for money. Get the EV version. Good daily runner. Interior/Exterior design 8/10. Power Unit 8/10. Performance 8/10. Overall Score 97/100. Dont shortlist this or consider. Buy it for long term use. Because as we know the world and technology is changing. Be apart of change go EV or PheV. This is coming from AudiMan a former hardcore petrol head convert to EV and PheV person. It's all about sustainability.
The worst part with electrification is there will be no serious uniqueness to the heart of any car, it's engine as it used to come in different kinds of sounds and refinements, now they will all be motors, silent with fake noises, less or more powerful whether it's a ferrari a Citroen or a Rolls Royce. Edit: I'm not against electric cars, you can also see it positively as power and performance will be decentralised, just my personal opinion.
@@timaustin2000 Who made you believe I'm not buying one anytime soon, luckily, I will... But not necessarily a Lambo... And if really straight line speed and the g's are what you want, Go to an amusement park
Considering the cost of ownership easily adds 15.000 in an ICE car over an equivalent EV - You'd have to be quite silly to get the ICE. In the EV you get a quicker, safer and more fun car, it'll be worth more in 5-10 years and you save thousands in that time... Don't like the design but it's a cheap A-B moving box I suppose, that's enough for many.
@@aquilinorodrigo Electric cars are much more fun than anything that's not 200k+ and has a screaming NA engine. The torque and responsiveness is unmatched.
@@aquilinorodrigo Sounds like you need to drive and live with one! 😉 Whenever I go back to ICE, the noise is just annoying-whatever you say, it’s nothing like a T33 or Carrera GT. I much prefer the sound of the electric motor spinning up to 10,000 rpm over some 3-cylinder firing away in front of you. It feels better to drive because it’s slightly heavier, but the weight is down low, and the torque is instant, so it feels much nippier. And why would you want a gearbox? A gearbox is there to compensate for the limited power band/torque curve of the ICE. You think you’ll miss it until you drive an EV for a month or two, and then you realize it was just an unnecessary hassle. Not having to use the brake was another big change that you don’t know you’ll like until you have it. :) The only negative is that you have to adjust your driving since the instant torque can be a bit jarring for passengers if you're not used to it. But you get used to it.
@OhMyLaurens Absolutely not. I already dislike hybrids (PHEV's are alright). Can you imagine my hatred for electric cars? If you're a car person, you won't like EV's. The torque might be instant blah blah, but that's also boring. You want to play around with it, bouncing from the redline at 7k, that sort of stuff. I genuinely can't think as to why people prefer the noise of an EV as to a hot hatch. A Fiesta ST or Peugeot 208 GTi are way better cars (okay, maybe not as reliable) than a B-segment EV. More power, way lighter (feels faster than it is), more passion, and less predictable (which makes it fun). There's also a reason as to why second-hand EV prices are through the floor. I'm happy if you're happy, but you can't deny the fact that "normal" are more fun.
I like the idea of using the key to start the car like Matt i have always had cars with a key.I have driven a Aircross C3 which I find hard to have the radio on or the heaters when parked without starting the engine

As always Matt, Entertaining and informative. Thank you.

Wow, interior looked like my 2010 Prius got an electric upgrade. i love the interior.

That's what I love about electric cars. The smoothness of the drive. I live in one of the busiest areas in Europe so I basically always drive in traffic jam. And electric cars are just perfect for that. No gear change, no engine rumble, no wasting energy when standing still, only using little energy when accelerating a little bit ... and all that in total silence. Perfect.
So like a plug-in hybrid only heavier, more wasteful of resources and still with range and charge time limitations.
If you are always in a traffic jam thats a problem with the town planners. Properly planned out that should never happen but instead of desiging the infrastructure properly why not just keep buying really heavy, resource hungry cars and pretending it helps?
2:49 its not just that its faster for £4,000 more, maybe some people like the ev version and it suits their needs better than the gas version, so the extra cost is worth it
It’s not all about performance
Sometimes durability is more important over performance for these EV cars.
Yeah what a silly thing to say that was ...
That front end of the car, in red, is just soo good!
Average Mileage by car is around 20 miles per day (in the UK). The average drivers really does not need more range.
Until they do...
@@norwegianzoundand when that happens these things called rapid chargers exist. I mean there’s just shy of 14,000 rapid chargers installed with 247 of them being in the last month alone.
@@norwegianzoundif you do a huge journey a couple of times a year then you use the fuel savings from running the EV to hire a nice six pot BMW.
@@rantingyoof6960 Exactly.
Except when you go on a long trip. Driving an electric car on a long trip would be a pain, even with "rapid chargers" - still going to take you 30/40 minutes per stop, and there's likely to be several stops! A ICE car will do 400/500 miles and then only few minutes to fill up.
Mat reviewing french cars and enjoying them makes me happy as a french carwow viewer all luck and wish you the best 🇫🇷🏴
More like Rolls Royce ride like this Citroen (since back in the day RR bought Citroen's suspension technology)
I love this car already ..very practical for me 😅.
Its a brave person that buys a 1.2 engined Citroen. Guess they will all be PCP though.
Great deal all around.
It will forever remain a history why carwow changes the thumbnails of their videos after some hours of posting the videos
Loads of channels do that..
@@theubergeeks1713but why?
they don't, channels can upload multiple thumbnails to the same video, RUclips can change the thumbnail based on the algorithm to determine which one is best for views.
youtube's allowed creators to have the option of uploading 2-3 different thumbnails and we get to see which of them gets the most click and then change it accordingly !

Hello ❤
@@lucassitanggang5154you love bots? 😂
Love your videos mate. Would like to see a review about the Chery FX EV, thinking of getting one.
1:27 in what world are 17" alloys small?
Mats world where he drives Audi/porsche
I like the interior very much
I will never buy a car that beeps and bongs about everything.. especially going +1 over an imaginary speedlimit that the car thinks the road is limited to.
You’ll struggle to find one that doesn’t. As far as I know it’s an EU rule. It drives you nuts and to make life even nicer you can’t switch them off permanently nowadays, they switch on every time you switch off and on again.
I don’t think it’s a safety feature to have the wheel wrenched out of your hands when you go near a white line. I’m keeping my 2022 car forever because it has switches for stuff and you can disable all that stuff forever.
@@John64125 Well bloody well tell what car so I can get one!
@@12alocinAnything pre 2022 should be OK. Good low mileage car then just keep it. Modern interiors are not for me! The warnings have gone over the top to the point of being distracting which is counter productive.
@@John64125 Exactly. I will keep driving old cars 😁
Check the Toyotas...😂
If you’re in the market for a low(er) cost EV for town duties, this could be perfect. With the Mini, R5 and Fiat 600/Jeep Avenger, the options for EVs in that category are really improving. 👍🏻
I've been getting a sense that cars lately are growing blander and interchangeable, and I feel like this Citroen is the tipping point for me. I couldn't be less interested in it. It may as well be a Fiat or Renault or Chevy or whatever. May as well not even exist.
Now THIS is an affordable car! Not these £45k cars Matt calls "family affordable"
Vibration on 3 cylinder engines ? Path ! No vibration on my Up GTI.
please review the maybach 62 s
Or the 1994 Eunos Cosmo.
Great review but like all the other reviewers your forgot to mentioned the Dacia Spring is a 4 seaters only compared to the Citroen with 5 seats.
It looks like it was designed in India. It has that look with the body and wheels and such
It actually was, it originated as the C3 for India, then it was Europeanized for Europe
@ there we go then. Thanks for that
Citroen C3 still proper French car , they did it right cheap and cheerful 😊❤
I hate keyless cars much prefer a normal key. Also less chance of theft through hacking.
Who would hack your Citröen?
@davidsentanu7836 it was a general point about wireless keys.
All the bells and whistles with this one 😁
Do the polestar 4 please Matt!
Very funny Game & Watch sounds! 9:36
My 2010 berlingo with 300000miles on it also drives like an RR with 300000 miles on it, except i can chuck the dogs in the back.
yeah, right, 2010 Berlingo drives similarly to an RR, totally legit. Also double-posting from your second account - is it some medical issue you have?
@andrewcocos read it again. It's clearly a joke
@@jdbm1978 aren't jokes supposed to be funny?
A really fair review 👍
Not bad at all. Good value for money. Get the EV version. Good daily runner. Interior/Exterior design 8/10. Power Unit 8/10. Performance 8/10. Overall Score 97/100. Dont shortlist this or consider. Buy it for long term use. Because as we know the world and technology is changing. Be apart of change go EV or PheV. This is coming from AudiMan a former hardcore petrol head convert to EV and PheV person. It's all about sustainability.
Ich bin nachhaltig. Ich fahre ein englisches Auto, ein Jaguar F-Pace.
9:35 is the sound uber app makes when the trip is about to end and new trips are getting flashed lmao
These cheap electric cars usually score horible on the NCAP. I think you should add a segment where you crash the car.
Such as....
that interior looks 10 time better than the new bmw 1 series
if mats comments down here, i will start breathing...
Aaaaaaand, you are dead😂😂😂😂
Rip
12:44 AYO LOL!!
The worst part with electrification is there will be no serious uniqueness to the heart of any car, it's engine as it used to come in different kinds of sounds and refinements, now they will all be motors, silent with fake noises, less or more powerful whether it's a ferrari a Citroen or a Rolls Royce.
Edit: I'm not against electric cars, you can also see it positively as power and performance will be decentralised, just my personal opinion.
Couldn't care less, it is a thing that drives me from A to B
You still have about 15 years to buy such a car
Why do you care? You're not buying a Lambo any time soon. And if you do, it'll only get embarrassed by an Electric Hyundai costing £60k.
@@timaustin2000 Who made you believe I'm not buying one anytime soon, luckily, I will... But not necessarily a Lambo...
And if really straight line speed and the g's are what you want, Go to an amusement park
@@vojtulee1 Yes Luckily, but I'm just saying, I'm not against electric cars instead deeply in love with the tech!
All the noises sound like a 15-in-1 LCD game, where all of the 15 games are Tetris in some form. Bizarre choice.
I actually thought it was a Chinese brand but then realized it’s a Citroen with a god awful design.
"Even when you're in the hole, it's f***ing bloomin hard to find the special spot" 😂😂
Considering the cost of ownership easily adds 15.000 in an ICE car over an equivalent EV - You'd have to be quite silly to get the ICE. In the EV you get a quicker, safer and more fun car, it'll be worth more in 5-10 years and you save thousands in that time...
Don't like the design but it's a cheap A-B moving box I suppose, that's enough for many.
Definitely not more fun.
@@aquilinorodrigo Electric cars are much more fun than anything that's not 200k+ and has a screaming NA engine. The torque and responsiveness is unmatched.
@OhMyLaurens How? It's heavier, less agile, no noise, no feel, no gears and just no passion.
@@aquilinorodrigo Sounds like you need to drive and live with one! 😉
Whenever I go back to ICE, the noise is just annoying-whatever you say, it’s nothing like a T33 or Carrera GT. I much prefer the sound of the electric motor spinning up to 10,000 rpm over some 3-cylinder firing away in front of you.
It feels better to drive because it’s slightly heavier, but the weight is down low, and the torque is instant, so it feels much nippier.
And why would you want a gearbox? A gearbox is there to compensate for the limited power band/torque curve of the ICE. You think you’ll miss it until you drive an EV for a month or two, and then you realize it was just an unnecessary hassle.
Not having to use the brake was another big change that you don’t know you’ll like until you have it. :)
The only negative is that you have to adjust your driving since the instant torque can be a bit jarring for passengers if you're not used to it. But you get used to it.
@OhMyLaurens Absolutely not. I already dislike hybrids (PHEV's are alright). Can you imagine my hatred for electric cars? If you're a car person, you won't like EV's. The torque might be instant blah blah, but that's also boring.
You want to play around with it, bouncing from the redline at 7k, that sort of stuff.
I genuinely can't think as to why people prefer the noise of an EV as to a hot hatch. A Fiesta ST or Peugeot 208 GTi are way better cars (okay, maybe not as reliable) than a B-segment EV.
More power, way lighter (feels faster than it is), more passion, and less predictable (which makes it fun).
There's also a reason as to why second-hand EV prices are through the floor.
I'm happy if you're happy, but you can't deny the fact that "normal" are more fun.
that road you test 0-60 have dark energy , thats why time always is better
that's gotta be in the top 5 ugliest cars on the road, plus it's electric, plus it's £20k so made from plastic
The side just looks like an XC40
Electric? No thanks

Heh
Why?
No it exist in 1.2l 100hp at ~ 14 000 €
And the earth keeps spinning
Excellent review!😸
We don't need electric cars.. Please review the hybrid version please
Cry more
I like the idea of using the key to start the car like Matt i have always had cars with a key.I have driven a Aircross C3 which I find hard to have the radio on or the heaters when parked without starting the engine
Keyless
An actual verdict other than, shortlist. I am surprised MR Watson 😊
The Davia Spring is only for 4 people. So you should mention that.
This C3 looks really good.
12:55 When you actually need a baby seat you obviously have no problems finding the hole, so no worries
Nice little car
Nice and within most people's budget
