Citroen C3 III

Subcompact Hatchback

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Citroen C3 III is an affordable subcompact hatchback in production from 2016 to 2020, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 1.6 liters.

Compared to the Mk2 model, Citroen went all-out crazy with the "anti-theft ugliness" design philosophy, throwing black plastic on the original vehicle's buggy design. Unsurprisingly, even the French domestic market did not respond well to this much effort to uglify a vehicle.

The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Reviewer score 66% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

The new C3 is comfortable, engaging, roomy and economical. The styling is less divisive than the C4 Cactus, but still manages to stand out from the pack. The diesel option is overshadowed by the petrol engine. Citroen expects the diesel version will take just 25 percent of C3 sales.

Pros

Comfortable, roomy interior
Comfortable to drive
Decent infotainment tech

Cons

Poor cabin ergonomics
