Citroen India, part of Europe’s auto major Stellantis Group, has announced that the starting price for Citroen E-C3, the electric version of the ICE-powered C3 hatchback, will be ₹11.50 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi).
Deliveries of Citroen’s electric car will start shortly. E-C3 comes with an ARAI-certified range of about 320 km (at full charge).
The full-battery electric vehicle will come in four variants – Live, Feel, Feel Vibe Back, and Feel Dual Tone Vive Back - in the price range between ₹11.50 lakh and ₹12.43 lakh.
At this price range, Citroen’s E-C3 is positioned between Tata’s electric Tiago EV and Tigor EV.
Pre-bookings have already started for the E-C3, built on the company’s fuel-agnostic C-Cubed vehicle platform, which has been designed and engineered in India. E-C3 is the second model from this platform after C3, which is an ICE vehicle.
E-C3 comes with a battery pack of 29.2 kWh and DC charging that promises charging 10-80 per cent in 57 mins. In-home charging on a 15 amp plug point, the charging time for 10-100 per cent will be 10.5 hours and 30 mins. It claims to produce a torque of 143 Nm and will accelerate 0-60 kmph in 6.8 seconds. It will have a top speed of about 107 kmph.

The B2B segment offers different warrant programmes. Citroen is also offering a few extended warranty options on the car, electric motor, and battery.
Ë-C3 will be sold through 29 La Maison Citroën phygital showrooms across 25 cities. All showrooms will be equipped with a DC Fast Charging facility provided by Jio-bp and will cater to all EV vehicle owners.
