Description
The Citroën e-C3 Max is the top-of-the-range trim for Citroën's new, all-electric supermini. Positioned as an affordable and practical electric vehicle, it builds on the standard model's strengths by adding a host of premium features and a distinctive design.
Performance and Range
Motor and Battery: The e-C3 is powered by an 83kW (113hp) electric motor, paired with a 44kWh Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) battery pack. This provides a WLTP-certified range of up to 198 miles for the Max trim.
Charging: Charging from 20% to 80% takes approximately 26 minutes using a 100kW DC rapid charger. For home charging, a 7kW AC wall box will charge the car from 0% to 100% in around 4 hours and 10 minutes.
Driving Experience: The e-C3 is designed for comfort and ease of use, particularly in urban and suburban environments. It features Citroën's Advanced Comfort Suspension with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions, which provide a notably soft and composed ride. The steering is light and precise, making it easy to manoeuvre.
Interior and Technology
The e-C3 Max cabin adopts a "C-Zen Lounge" design concept, offering a bright and airy feel. It is equipped with a range of features that enhance comfort and convenience:
Infotainment: A 10.25-inch capacitive touchscreen infotainment system is the centrepiece, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Max trim also includes integrated satellite navigation.
Comfort: The car features Citroën's Advanced Comfort Seats, along with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. The interior design includes leather-effect upholstery and fabric inserts on the dashboard, creating a high-quality feel for a car in this segment.
Convenience: Standard features on the Max trim include automatic air conditioning, a wireless smartphone charger, a reversing camera, and rear parking sensors.
Driver Display: A slim, digital head-up display sits at the top of the dashboard, providing essential driving information without the need for a traditional instrument cluster.
