2026 Citroen e-C3 VAN

At the end of March, Citroen launched a new small van, the e-C3 VAN, based on the e-C3. It is an all-electric car with a starting price of 22,800 euros including tax.

The car is available in special Montecarlo Blue, Perla Nera Black, Polar White, Mercure Gray, Elixir Red, and Light Blue. The roof is painted in the body color, but buyers can optionally choose Opal White or Perla Nera Black for the roof. It is equipped with the PLUS package that includes LED lights, cruise control, a USB-C port, a multimedia system with a 10.25-inch screen, support for Android Auto and Car Play systems, Bluetooth and a multifunction steering wheel, and 17-inch steel wheels. The vehicle also has several modern safety systems such as automatic braking, a lane keeping system, a traffic sign recognition system, and a driver fatigue monitoring system.

In the cabin, the rear seats have been replaced with a cargo platform with a partition and a grid that gives luggage space up to 1,220 liters. The maximum load capacity is 302 kilograms, and the maximum weight of the vehicle with cargo is 1,745 kilograms.

The Citroen e-C3 VAN is equipped with a 44 kWh battery that, thanks to a 100 kW fast charger, can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in 25 minutes. If a 7 kW charger is used, it takes four hours, or two hours and 50 minutes when using an 11 kW charger.

The car is powered by an electric motor with 113 hp and has an electric range of 323 km. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in around 11 seconds with a top speed of 132 km/h.

Citroën is thinking about the return of the C4 Cactus

The growth in sales of the new C3 Aircross, and the fact that the future C5 Aircross will be a more compact model, have discouraged Citroen from introducing another compact model into its range. The technological pressure on compact cars is currently the greatest and logically it is the first on the list for cutting. The cars that could be a hit in the future are the affordable ones, with a fair price, so we could soon see the return of the subcompact crossover SUV, the Citroen Cactus.

The latest information suggests that the third generation of the compact Citroen C4 is coming to an end, although a refreshed version has recently arrived on the market, and the French manufacturer is already thinking about the successor to this model. CEO of Citroën Thierry Koskas is convinced that a new C4 is possible, but with a very careful strategy with equipment, giving priority only to what customers normally use.

“What we said about the B segment and the need for cars with a certain level of equipment will one day also apply to the C segment,” said Koskas. He also added that families are interested in more spacious cars, but at a reasonable price.

Tata Consultancy Services developed the new C3 “Smart Car” platform for Stellantis’s cheap brands, putting price first and then budgeting for individual components. This helped Dacia achieve great results, and it is clear that Citroën is trying to use the same tactics as the Romanian brand, whose Sandero model is still the best-selling new car in Europe.

At 2024 Paris Motor Show Citroen presented the C5 Aircross concept as an announcement of the second generation of this compact SUV. It will enter production in mid-2025 and will be offered with an all-electric option and a range of 680 km.

The new generation C5 Aircross will be produced in the Rennes plant (France) as well as the first generation of this model. In this plant Stellantis has invested $ 173 million to prepare it to produce a fully electric model.

C5 Aircross will share a platform with other stellantis compact SUVs, including Peugeot 3008, Opel / Vauxhall Grandland and the new Jeep Compass. It will be built on the stla medium architecture, developed for internal combustion engines and all-electric cars.

Although the French manufacturer did not publish technical quads, some consider the new generation C5 Aircross to be available with 48-volt hybrid drive, plug-in hybrid, several fully electrical versions and a maximum range of almost 700 km.
