The engine

Electric

Single-Motor Electric

Tuned for comfort over outright pace, Citroën's electric models offer smooth, effortless urban torque in keeping with the brand's long obsession with a soft, cosseting ride.

The newest ë-C3 and its derivatives sit on Stellantis' cost-focused 'Smart Car' platform, an evolution of the Common Modular Platform engineered to make affordable EVs viable in Europe.

The ë-C3 was launched as one of Europe's first genuinely affordable electric cars, deliberately undercutting the segment on price.
Its motor and battery hardware is shared with Peugeot, Opel/Vauxhall and Fiat siblings built on the same Stellantis architecture.
The Smart Car platform is slated to underpin around seven different Stellantis models, spreading development costs across brands.
