The new Citroen C3 is reviewed by CAR Magazine UK. Full review and verdict of this important new petrol supermini
► One of the most spacious small cars, but that hasn’t stopped its C3 from selling like hotcakes. More than 5.6m versions of this small car have been sold since 2002 and it’s now the French firm’s most popular model ever – even ahead of the
Previously Citroen offered a choice of naturally-aspirated and turbocharged petrol engines, but there’s now just one ‘regular’ e-C3 available – a 1.2-litre ‘PureTech’ petrol unit putting out 99bhp and 151lb ft of torque. It’s mated to a six-speed manual gearbox and even has a physical handbrake. The only thing it will be tearing around is a McDonald’s car park; 0-62mph takes 10.6 seconds and it manages a top speed of 116mph. Acceleration isn’t too dissimilar to the EV, either.
A tight turning circle and small dimensions – the only real direction it’s grown is in height – mean it’s easy to drive and park, with feather-light steering again ideal for narrower roads.

Despite measuring a fraction over four metres long, rear space is competitive with far larger cars, with two adults able to sit comfortably in the rear with masses of headroom especially.
