Citroën challenges the rulebook for European-designed and built B-segment cars with the reveal of the characterful fourth-generation C3. The all-new, all-electric ë-C3 delivers best-in-class comfort, an easy electric experience, an outstanding level of useful equipment, and incredible value for money.
For the first time in the history of the C3 hatchback, Citroën has specified its innovative and exclusive Citroën Advanced Comfort® Suspension as standard equipment on all versions of the all-new, all-electric ë-C3. Invisible to the driver and all occupants, Progressive Hydraulic Cushions® ensure everyone on-board enjoys a unique ‘magic carpet ride' feeling of comfort on the road, thanks to the use of progressive hydraulic bump stops. The use of hydraulic stops allows the engineering team greater freedom to tune the all-new ë-C3's suspension to give the impression that the car is gliding when driving over uneven ground. Two hydraulic bump stops are used on each corner of the vehicle in conjunction with the shock absorbers and springs – one bump stop for compression and the other for decompression (rebound).
With the introduction of the C-Zen Lounge, the driver and front passenger are treated to a clean and uncluttered view forward, as if looking through a wide arch, thanks to the large windscreen and horizontal fascia that stretches across the entire vehicle, and is flanked by Citroën's signature vertical air vents. The fascia is split into two distinct levels, with the technical elements above, and a cosy fabric-wrapped ‘Sofa Design style' section below. A real departure for the upper level of the fascia, is the lack of a traditional instrument cluster. All-new, all-electric ë-C3 sees the first use of a new Citroën Head-Up Display that reflects vehicle information onto a glossy black section between the top of the dash panel and the bottom of the windscreen. This smart solution ensures there is no duplication of information as there would traditionally be between a Head-Up Display and instrument cluster. Drivers can easily access all the key information they need without taking their eyes off the road.
