Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · III PureTech 130 (2020+, facelift 2024)

Citroën C4

C-segment model on the CMP platform from Stellantis, a cross between hatchback and crossover with raised seating. The common petrol is the PureTech 130 (1.2 three-cylinder turbo); below it sits a PureTech 100. The 2024 facelift renewed the front and the interior, not the drivetrain. WLTP consumption around 5.7 l/100km (manufacturer figure, indicative); owners report 6.3-6.8 l/100km in mixed use (public forums, not measured by us). Shares the body with the electric ë-C4. Boot 380 l.

Profile · IV (BEV, 44 kWh)

Citroën ë-C3

Electric ë-C3 on the Stellantis Smart Car platform, presented in October 2023 and on sale in Europe from 2024. LFP battery of 44 kWh, WLTP around 320 km (manufacturer figure, indicative), motor 83 kW (113 hp), DC charging up to 100 kW. Shares the body with the petrol C3 (PureTech 100). Indicative starting price, check the official configurator for the current figure.
