Citroen C3 models: full list 

Citroen C3 YOU! 

Kicking off the list is the Citroen C3 YOU! – the base spec and therefore the cheapest option you can buy. 

This is a true no-nonsense spec that gets you all the essentials you’d need from a small French car. 

It comes with steel wheels, cloth seats and a five-inch touchscreen with DAB radio and Bluetooth connectivity. 

It's not as sparse as a Citroen AMI. Instead, it’s a great example of the essence of what this class of car is all about – easy to live with and cheap fun. 

Citroen C3 Plus 

Citroen’s mid-range C3 model is called the ‘Plus’ and this gets everything found in the YOU! plus a few creature comforts like 16-inch alloys, electric folding mirrors, a reversing camera, a seven-inch infotainment screen and electric mirrors. 

Citroen C3 Max 

The top-spec C3 model is the one to go for if you’re happy to stretch your budget a bit further for a lot more features. 

The wheels get bumped up to 17 inches, and you get Citroen’s Safety Pack with added driver assistance features, a leather steering wheel and a built-in sat-nav.

> C-Series 

> Elle 

> Flair 

> Feel 

> Sense 

> Shine 

What is the best Citroen C3 model? 

Choosing the best C3 model depends on exactly what you’re after. If you want the best Citroen has to offer, go for the top-spec C3 Max. 

But if you really don’t need that much and just need a trusty car to get you from A to B, the base-spec YOU! is ideal. 

The mid-range C3 Plus is probably the best option for most people. You get a comfortable middle ground between the two other models, with enough kit that you won’t be left wanting.
