Citroen eC3 Electric Car Official India Launch Teased
The Citroen eC3 which is an electric car based on the popular C3 variant from Citroen is confirmed to make its debut in India. While the brand has only teased the upcoming launch, it didn’t specify when exactly it plans to begin the sale. Going by the rumors online, the Citroen eC3 electric car will be available by the first half of 2023 in India. Some reports hint March 2023 launch.
Furthermore, the Citroen eC3 electric hatchback will be a premium range hatchback similar to the standard Citroen C3 car. However, the brand has not announced what feature upgrades it will be packed with. Nevertheless, the design language will be similar to the Citroen C3 petrol variant. This can be confirmed as the electric variant’s test mule has been spotted somewhere near Pune, Maharashtra.
While we are yet to get the exact details related to the key features of the Citroen eC3 electric car, rumors are rife it will be going up against the likes of Tata Nexon EV and will certainly be placed above the Tata Punch EV (upcoming) and the Tata Tiago.
Its prime rival is expected to be the Tata Punch EV which might be showcased at the Auto Expo 2023 and could see the light of the day next year itself. We are expecting Citroen to reveal the key features of the eC3 electric car in the coming weeks since the official launch is just a few months away.
