Citroen eC3 Name Confirmed For All-Electric C3 Hatchback

Citroen released an official teaser revealing the eC3 name for their upcoming electric hatchback. The French carmaker confirmed their plans to launch the electric C3 in early 2023. We expected Citroen to reveal the eC3 at the 2023 Auto Expo but as of now, there is no confirmation from the brand about their presence at the biennial auto show.

The spied images of the eC3 reveal no design changes over the ICE-powered C3. It continues to come with a chrome grille that extends into the LED DRLs and halogen headlights. Surprisingly, the eC3 in the images lack fog lamps and alloy wheels. It is worth noting that the eC3 gets a charging port on the front right fender.

While it’s pretty early to judge, we expect the eC3 to undercut the Tata Nexon EV Prime and lead the segment until Tata come up with the Punch EV. Hence, the eC3 will rival the Tata Tigor EV and the upcoming Tata Tiago EV for now. The Citroen eC3 is likely to offer a range of 300-350km on a single charge. It is likely pack a 40kWh battery pack and a front-mounted electric motor.

Citroen could price the eC3 below Rs. 10 lakh to undercut the Tata Nexon EV and Tigor EV. The Tata Tigor EV’s prices range from Rs. 12.50 lakh to Rs. 13.75 lakh ex-showroom. Apart from the eC3, Citroen are also working on the C3 Aircross that could incorporate 3-row seating.
