Citroën e-C3: India will receive the electric C3 at the beginning of 2023…

New Citroën C3 Mercosur 4 - Citroën e-C3

Stellantis is one of the largest and most powerful car manufacturers in the world.. But beyond the cold numbers, it has proposed to be the undisputed leader in the transition towards electrification. And it seems that if nothing goes wrong, he could surpass his archrival: the Volkswagen Group. For this he has orchestrated a strategic plan that they want to fulfill at all costs. And one of the models included in it is the new Citroen e-C3 EV Doesn't that ring a bell...?

Most likely not and it is logical. If you do a bit of memory you will remember that Stellantis is meditating that its range of segment A and B electrics are manufactured in India. Well, the first model of this plan is a battery-powered derivative of the latest C3 generation that was presented to the Indian market a few months ago. In addition, there are a couple of details that we cannot ignore, the most important being the Possibility of coming to Europe...

The Citroën e-C3, which is what it could be called, will have a 30,2 kWh battery…

New Citroën C3 Mercosur 1

We already told you about the new Citroën C3, in SUV format, for India and Mercosur. But this time he has to tell what we know about his electrical declination. For now there are no clues as to what its aesthetics will be like or if in the brand they would have thought of giving it a new air. In any case, we do not believe that this will happen beyond the specific details that will indicate it as an electric model. What we do care about is how will all your technique be.

Thanks to the guys at Autocar India we have learned that its electric powertrain will be modest. The electric motor will give a total of 63kW (86 hp) and 143 Nm of torque and will feed on 30,2 kWh battery. In addition, they indicate that the accumulator will use LFP cells from the Chinese company Svolt. Also that as standard it will mount a 3,3 kW on-board AC charger and, in addition, it will also be capable of charging the accumulator with CCS2 fast charging.

Taking these data into account, it is surprising that Stellantis is planning to bring it to Europe. But the market already has a model with similar characteristics that would be the target of this Citroën e-C3. It is also low cost Dacia Spring how good data is reaping. However, we will have to wait for the month of January 2023 to touch our lives to know all the data related to this small electric SUV...

According to Autocar India, the suppliers with whom they have consulted indicate that there is a production forecast of 25 thousand units per year. Apparently, a large part of these will go for export, so Stellantis, as well as "crazy" is being cautious with the estimated sales. Maybe later it becomes a success... Who knows...
