NEW Citroen C3 Reviewed! The Car That Solves The UK's Problem

The new Citroen C3 wants to steal the Ford Puma's crossover crown in Britain. Priced from £17,790, this French five-seater is taller and boxier than its hatchback predecessor, unlocking more interior and boot space, to go with its trendier 2024 look. But it also brings something new to the class that leaves all of its rivals looking a bit underequipped - and it relates to comfort.
In a bid to iron out the lumps, bumps and (let's be frank) potholes of roads, the new Citroen C3 gets special suspension technology and some softly cushioned seats. The car aims to contrast the sportier rides of its rivals, providing a welcome solution to bumpy urban commutes in the most Citroen way possible. Alright, squidgy suspension and seats are a far cry from the brand's genius suspension technology of the past, but it works.
It also ensure the car remains cheap to buy, with that sub-£18k starting price giving it an eight-grand advantage over its pricier rival from Ford, the Puma. Given how popular the Puma is in Britain, we're expecting big things from this new C3, especially when the full lineup arrives, adding a Hybrid and smaller battery electric version in the coming months, to the just-launched petrol and e-C3, which feature in our video.

The exterior is giving Jeep Renegade but in a good way. Big thumbs up for the pillowy ride!

[@cinch]

I agree, Ben! Good on Citroen for rediscovering what it’s good at.

[@sejautie]

The back reminds me of ecosport? Ford am I wrong or the side.

[@vp272]

Agree the hybrid might be the pick of the range. Question…. What would the padding on those seats be like after 60k miles?

[@cinch]

Good question! All we can say is the cushions felt nice and springy, rather than weak. More memory foam than cheap mattress. Which bodes well!

well... you can check in one of the C4 III models.... they have the same seats, and they've been driving around since 2020....I bet you can find a bunch of them with that mileage on the odo. or, even easier, with facelifted C4 Cactus, which was the first model fitted with this kind of seats

[@ryancheng473]

It looks like a chinese copy...

[@cinch]

It's quite a large surface area and presents all of the relevant information and controls well even if it means having a square Android Auto/Apple CarPlay screen in the middle. It's what a lot of infotainment systems lack especially when they've included heater controls into the display
