- Average Electric Car
I got around 250 to 280 km of range in my trip with eC3 and the comfort level it gives is amazing but the modern interior look is missing that expect from an electric car. The boot space is good but the second row knee room is not good and the power is less. In terms of handling the steering is sharp but it gives roll in the corners and the performance is not really great.Read More
- Citroen EC3 Is The Best EV Available In The Market
As an environmentally conscious family, we selected the Citroen eC3, among all the EV options available in the market with its electric drivetrain, as a conscious choice for our environmentally conscious family, which we bought in Bangalore. Ideal for city driving and short trips, like our recent visit to Nandi Hills, it seats 5 but is best for 4 adults in terms of comfort. The initial cost of around Rs 11 lakh is justified by savings on fuel. The drawback is the range, which limits spontaneity for longer trips.Read More
