Citroen entered the EV game in India with the eC3, a quirky and practical electric hatchback aimed at first-time EV buyers. Designed on the same platform as the petrol C3, the eC3 offers a peppy and smooth drive with silent performance and zero tailpipe emissions.
It comes equipped with a 29.2 kWh battery delivering 320 km of claimed range. The car supports both slow and fast charging, with a 10-80% charge achievable in under 57 minutes using a DC fast charger.
Inside, you get a 10-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, manual AC, and a decently spacious cabin. However, you miss out on some modern-day features like rear wiper, alloy wheels, or automatic climate control.
At ₹11.50 lakh (ex-showroom), it undercuts most rivals and makes a case for itself with ride comfort and European handling dynamics. Ideal for city users with a tight budget, the eC3 proves you don’t need to compromise too much to go electric.
