French automobile company Citroen is reportedly working on an electric version of the C3 hatchback car. Spy pictures of the upcoming Citroen eC3 have surfaced online. It is expected that the company will install the charging outlet on the front fender of the electric car.

The upcoming electric vehicle is rumored to be powered by a 20-30kWh battery pack. Its driving range is expected to be 200-250km on a single charge. Test mules of the Citroen eC3 were spotted at a charging station in India.

Earlier this week, a model of the Citroen eC3 was spotted with an orange colour. The design looked similar to the ICE C3 with split headlamps and square tail lamps. It will also get steel wheels with covers and roof rails along with a dual-tone paint scheme.

Inside, the Citroen eC3 is likely to come with a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system along with a digital instrument cluster and power windows. The electric car will come with a height adjustable driver seat.

As mentioned above, the Citroen eC3 is the electric version of the C3 which is slated to be launched in India in 2022. The hatchback is powered by two petrol engine options and two manual transmission options. The 1.2-turbo engine comes mated to a six-speed MT, while its second variant gets the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated motor paired with a 5-speed MT unit.

The Citroen C3 measures 3,981 mm in length, 1,606 mm tall with roof rails, 1,733 mm wide and has a wheelbase of 2,540 mm. The vehicle comes with 315 liters of boot space and has relatively high ground clearance. The dashboard layout on the C3 comes with a 10.2-inch main infotainment screen with support for wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Also, the all-digital display, steering mounted controls and plenty of storage space make it more interesting. It comes with a starting price of ₹5.71 lakh (ex-showroom).
