    Electric mobility redefined, eco-friendly  

    The Citroen eC3, my dream auto, has revolutionized electric transportation with its sustainable city floating characteristics. In extension to its sustainability, I actually love my car for itsmore advanced features and futuristic looks. The eC3's cerebral room and operative electric powertrain were both developed with the coincidental city commuter in mind. With every trip, my love for my car only deepens since it produces no when i go tours and provides a quiet, comfortable ride. The Citroen eC3 is a true unreality of city safety in the future.

    Sharp handling 

    The power delivery is linear and do not expect much punch from this car. The claimed range is around 320 km but the real world range is low and the second row is uncomfortable due to the low knee room. The handling is very sharp and the suspension setup is really nice and great on the bad road and get good boot space. The interior is great and get good package in this car but the instrument cluster is outdated. The exterior look is good and is a nice car to ride.

    Practical and fun drive 

    I really liked the Citroen eC3, it is practical as an everyday car, is available at a competitive price and has a cool design, which adds to its mileage per charge with the efficient electric motor. Its modern, elegant look, the spacious inside as well as the bright and tempting colors come by as a bonus. Adding security standards such as automatic emergency break and lane keeping assist to the driving features make this unit a fun, practical and beautiful car that fits every owner's choice.

    huge space 

    Citroen eC3 get a massive battery pack and this electric hatchback is best for the city and the claimed range of this electric hatchback is 320 km but the real world range is around 220 to 240 km which is very low. The steering response is very impessive and the interior space of this hatchback is very high but the features are less in this hatchback. With the amazing interior space the design look also nice but the cabin is noisy and the safety features are not there.

    Electric Mobility Redefined, Eco-Friendly Urban Cr 

    With its environmentally friendly looks and capacity for city floating, the Citroen eC3 redefines electric transportation. I love my car because it sets new marks for electric megacity driving with its futuristic features and environmental best experience. For covering congested city Streets, the eC3 provides a responsive and operative ride thanks to its fragile size and move easily running. With its flawless acceleration and move easily running, Citroen has played to produce a supercar that not only lowers when i go tours but also improves the driving experience. My stylish car is the eC3, which combines fashionable looks with environmentally responsible technologies.

    Comfortable ride and nice cabin 

    It comes with many colour options and get many customization option and is a stylish hatchback but the instrument cluster is outdated. The seating space is good but the seating positon is not comfortable for the long rides. The boot space is very practical and the power delivery is very good and i get 250 km of driving range. It gives comfortable ride and decent cabin but the features are missing in this electric hatchback. The interior is very good and is a cost effective electric hatchback that stand out in the crowd.

    All rounded car 

    The driving and ride of this sedan is very well and is a all rounded car that is very easy to drive. With the large boot space and good space in the interior this sedan is very comfortable but there is a time for the SUVs and the sail of sedan is less now. The features are very nice in this car and comes with the sunroof and the safety in this sedan get high scores but the finishing in this car is not good.

    Volkswagen Virtus is a best in segment sedan that is popular among young enthusiasts. Its road price competes with many ascendant compacts on the market, and it is hard to resist its value-for-money attributes. The car has an excellent gas mileage.
