Citroen e-C3 X

The Citroen e-C3 X is the 2026 facelifted version of the Citroen eC3, an electric micro-SUV hatchback built on the C3 platform and priced in India from Rs 11.99 lakh to Rs 13.26 lakh (ex-showroom) across three variants. It pairs a 29.2 kWh lithium-ion battery with a permanent magnet synchronous motor making 56.22 bhp and 143 Nm, and it targets families and daily commuters who want a roomy, comfortable city EV with genuine fast-charging support.

Range & Charging

The 29.2 kWh pack carries an ARAI/MIDC-claimed range of 325 km on a single charge. DC fast charging over the CCS-II port takes the battery from 10-80% in 57 minutes, while a standard 15A plug point completes a full charge in about 10 hours 30 minutes. That makes the e-C3 X work both as an overnight home charger and for quick top-ups on the go.

Performance & Driving

A single-speed automatic drives the front wheels. The e-C3 X takes 16.0 seconds to reach 100 km/h from rest and tops out at 107 km/h, figures that suit city and short inter-city running more than sustained highway cruising. Two drive modes and regenerative braking come as standard.

Features & Practicality

Standard kit includes a 10.23-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital instrument cluster, auto-folding ORVMs, front fog lamps and connected car technology. The Shine trim gets six airbags while Live variants make do with four; ABS with EBD and a reverse camera are fitted across the range. With 315 litres of boot space, 170 mm of ground clearance and a 2540 mm wheelbase, the cabin is roomy for the segment.

Who Should Buy It

The Citroen e-C3 X suits buyers who want a spacious, comfortable compact EV with fast charging and low running costs. If most of your driving is in the city and you value cabin space and ride comfort over outright acceleration, it is a strong pick in the sub-Rs 14 lakh electric hatchback space. A Battery-as-a-Service plan brings the entry price down to Rs 6.89 lakh plus Rs 2.26 per km.
