The older Citroen C3 Aircross proved a hit when it launched, offering oodles of space and premium SUV stylings on a shoestring budget. Costs were kept down by a relatively wimpy motor and a basic interior – but these were worthy compromises in pursuit of producing a comfortable family car at an unbeatable price.
Now an all-new C3 Aircross has arrived – and it’s gone electric. It directly addresses its predecessor’s biggest shortcomings while doubling down on its strengths, so the new e-C3 is slightly more spacious, built on a more cost-effective platform, is still an absolute bargain and is available in two different flavours: a standard range car offering 189 miles or an extended range version that delivers 249 miles of driving.
