    Citroen e-C3's Shine variant introduced in India: Check best features

    What's the story

    French car marque Citroen has expanded the lineup of its popular electric hatchback, the e-C3, in India with the all-new Shine variant.

    The EV now features 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, a rear wiper unit, and a reverse camera in the top-end trim. It carries a starting price tag of Rs. 13.2 lakh (ex-showroom).

    Here's a look at the EV's best features.

    Design

    Firstly, let's look at e-C3's design

    The Citroen e-C3 flaunts a quirky design philosophy and features a sculpted bonnet, bumper-mounted headlights with split-type DRLs, and a sleek grille with prominent Citroen badging.

    The EV also has a wide air dam, a raked windscreen, roof rails, indicator-mounted ORVMs, and 15-inch designer alloy wheels.

    At the rear end, the car gets wrap-around LED taillights and a roof-mounted spoiler.

    Information

    Advanced drivetrain with unique E-Toggle automatic gearbox

    Unlike the standard stick-type gearbox seen on its ICE-powered sibling, the Citroen e-C3 features an advanced drivetrain with a unique "E-Toggle" automatic gearbox. The gearbox saves cabin space and also allows for a silent driving experience.

    Performance

    EV promises range of up to 320km

    Citroen has kept the e-C3's powertrain unchanged. The e-SUV is backed by a front-axle-mounted electric motor paired with a 29.2kWh battery pack.

    The setup generates 56hp/143Nm and promises a range of up to 320km.

    The electric car takes 10.5 hours to charge using a 15 amp plug point fully. However, with a DC fast charger, it takes just 57 minutes to reach 80%.

    Information

    Regenerative braking with multi-level regeneration option

    Citroen has equipped the capable e-C3 with an advanced regenerative braking system with a multi-level regeneration option. This system allows the driver to do "One-Pedal" driving simply using the accelerator pedal. The system also helps the EV gain additional range.

    Features

    Dual airbags and premium two-tone dashboard offered

    On the inside, the Citroen e-C3's spacious five-seater cabin gets a premium two-tone dashboard, fabric upholstery made using sustainable materials, quirky-looking air vents, keyless entry, a start/stop button, and a multifunctional steering wheel.

    It packs a fully digital instrument cluster and a 10.2-inch infotainment panel with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

    Passengers' safety is ensured by dual front airbags, ABS, and EBD.
