At under 4 metres long, the eC3X is easy to park and squeeze through busy city traffic. Its tight 4.98-metre turning radius also helps in narrow lanes. Moreover, 170 mm of ground clearance handles most speed breakers and broken roads without trouble. Inside, the long 2,540 mm wheelbase gives rear passengers decent legroom for a car this size.
Citroen eC3X Specifications Battery and Range
The eC3X uses a 29.2 kWh LFP battery, claiming up to 325 km on the MIDC cycle. In real-world city driving, expect roughly 200 to 240 km, which covers several days of commuting for most buyers. However, the battery uses air cooling rather than liquid cooling. As a result, fast charging slows down more in hot weather than on some rivals.
Citroen eC3X Motor and Performance
A single front motor produces 56 bhp and 143 Nm. It reaches 60 km/h in about 6.8 seconds, which feels brisk enough in city traffic. However, top speed is limited to 107 km/h, so highway overtakes need planning. Drivers can choose between Standard and Eco modes, with Eco helping to stretch the range.
Citroen eC3X Charging Time
| Charger | Charging time |
|---|---|
| DC fast charger, CCS2 (10 to 80%) | About 57 minutes |
| 3.3 kW AC charger (0 to 100%) | About 10.5 hours |
On a DC fast charger, the eC3X adds 10 to 80% in under an hour through its CCS2 port. At home, the 3.3 kW onboard charger takes about 10.5 hours for a full charge, so overnight charging works best. However, rivals with larger onboard chargers refill faster at home.
eC3X Suspension, Tyres and Warranty
The eC3X uses MacPherson strut front and twist-beam rear suspension, tuned for a soft, comfortable ride. It rides on 195/65 R15 tyres, with disc brakes up front and drums at the rear. Citroen covers the battery for 7 years or 1.4 lakh km, the motor for 5 years or 1 lakh km, and the car for 3 years or 1.25 lakh km. For prices, see the Citroen eC3X price page.
