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.
