Citroen E-C3 styling

The electric E-C3 looks no different compared to the ICE-powered C3, except for a few electric badges and a charging lid on the front fender. The E-C3 continues to get funky colour schemes like the petrol-powered version and 15-inch steel wheels. With the attractive design, you won’t mistake the E-C3 for anything else on the road, except for maybe, a petrol C3.

Interiors identical to the C3'sCitroen India

Meanwhile, the instrument cluster now shows the battery charge level and range readouts. The equipment levels on the E-C3 are identical to the petrol C3 hatchback.
