Citroen C3

The jostling to fill the supermini void left by the Ford Fiesta continues with a model that's all about comfort The Ford Fiesta may be dead, yet its rivals have taken the initiative by trying to make a new supermini that becomes the default choice in the class.New Renault Clio, Suzuki Swift and MG 3 models have all been launched in recent months to try to take the Fiesta's crown, and now the new Citroën C3 is making its bid.The C3 is a visually identical petrol-powered sibling to the Citroën ë-C3. There's a hybrid option too, and all three versions share a new architecture called ‘Smart Car’ that’s designed to keep costs down.As well as maintaining a low entry cost, character, comfort and class-leading value are the main objectives of the new C3. And it does just that: the new C3 is generously equipped and a newer model still manages to undercut the entry-level Renault Clio.We’ve already driven the petrol and electric versions, and we liked them both. There's also a hybrid, which may well be the pick of the bunch. VersionPowerTurbo 100hp Manual Petrol99bhpHybrid 110hp Automatic Hybrid110bhpElectric 113hp Standard Range Automatic Electric111bhp
