  • It’s the Auto Express spring sale!

All electric cars are expensive, right? That might have been the case once, but in recent years we’ve seen an influx of EVs that are barely, if any dearer than their combustion counterparts.

The Citroen e-C3 is one of those, and we like it enough that it’s our current Car of the Year. It starts at under £22,000 on the road, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find it even cheaper - as the spring sale deals on the Auto Express Find a Car service show.

With savings of more than £2,000 on the cash price of a brand new Citroen e-C3, it brings the figure down below £20,000. That’s getting into Dacia Spring territory, and while we like the cheeky Dacia EV, the e-C3 is undoubtedly a more substantial and more useful car, with a longer range and more grown-up driving characteristics.

According to Citroen, the e-C3 has a WLTP range of 198 miles, and our real-world testing has shown that efficiency of around 4 miles per kilowatt-hour is possible, which results in a real-world range still in the mid-170s. There are EVs that go a lot further, but not for under twenty grand showroom-fresh. With a relatively small battery and 100kW charging, a 20-80 per cent boost takes under half an hour too.

Both Plus and Max-spec cars enjoy the two-grand saving (savings on the Max go as high as £2,351 in our spring sale, though it’s a slightly more expensive car to begin with). There’s no advantage either way when it comes to battery or performance, and even Plus models get alloy wheels, two-tone paintwork, air-con, rear parking sensors, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, so Citroen hasn’t left all the good stuff on the shelf to keep the e-C3 cheap.
