Tata has a big headstart in the EV segment. Its cars like the Tigor EV and Nexon EV are doing wonders for the brand. Tata also has plans to bring ground-up EVs like the Curvv concept and the Avinya concept. However, before we see any of them on the road, we are going to see more converted EVs. Yesterday, Tata revealed its plans to bring the Tiago EV this month. It will be one of the cheapest EVs in the Indian market. However, Citroen could give a strong challenge to the Tiago EV with its new EV. This car could be the electric version of the C3. In today’s article, let’s talk about this Rs 12 lakh EV.

What can we expect?

Rs 12 lakh EV

The EV version of the C3 would be based on the same modern CMP platform that we are seeing on the ICE C3. Stellantis, which combines Groupe PSA’s Opel, Citroen, and Peugeot sells the Peugeot E208 based on the same platform so we can expect global standards in the C3 EV as well. Talking more about the electric setup it is likely to have a single motor channeling power through a generous battery pack. The range of the car is expected to be around 250 to 300 km to take on its competition.

Features

Rs 12 lakh EV

As we look at the petrol-powered C3, it has an ample list of features but it surely lacks some of the necessary ones like a rear wiper, climate control AC and alloy wheels. We hope that Citroen fills the void by adding these nifty features and more like electrically adjustable ORVMs, automatic climate control, improved instrument cluster, and cruise control.

As the CMP platform is highly localized according to the Indian road conditions, the same would be done for the C3 EV as well. Citroen also plans on availing the battery locally so the cost of the vehicle can be brought down so the price range we are expecting it to be would be around 12 to 13 lakh (ex-showroom). The Citroen C3 EV is likely to be launched anywhere between the first half of 2023 but we could know how it would be if Citroen unveils it at the end of this year.
