Citroen C3 Buying Guide

What types of used Citroen C3 cars are there?

The Citroen C3 is a popular small hatchback car with similar levels of space in the front to much larger models, and the rear bench can fit two adults easily, or up to three children. Citroen is known for building comfortable cars, and the C3 is one of its comfiest models.

Popular Citroen C3 trims

A few different trim levels are available, ranging from budget-friendly options to higher-spec models with more standard equipment.

> Citroen C3 You – the entry-level trim with a five-inch infotainment screen and 15-inch wheels

> Citroen C3 Plus – a mid-range option that adds larger alloys, a reversing camera, and a seven-inch touchscreen

> Citroen C3 Max – the range-topper with 17-inch alloys, a safety pack, and a leather steering wheel

Citroen C3 history

The Citroen C3 has been around since 2002 and has seen new generations and facelifts since, making it a solid family car.

> First-generation Citroen C3 (2002 – 2010) - available as a five-door hatchback or two-door convertible, with a 2005 facelift

> Second-generation Citroen C3 (2009 – 2016) - a fresh new design and some efficient engine upgrades, dropping the convertible option

> Third-generation Citroen C3 (2016 – present) - another new look with sleek colourways, available as a five-door hatchback

What features does the Citroen C3 have?

Standard kit varies a lot depending on model year and trim level, but as a guide, budget-friendly YOU! variants have LED headlights, air-conditioning and cruise control. 

Mid-spec models are generally much better equipped and include things like a reversing camera, automatic lights and wipers, alloy wheels and a larger seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system. 

Top-spec models generally have a more premium feeling, with softer materials and subtle design changes, plus some more safety kit. 

Is the Citroen C3 reliable?

As well as being reasonably cheap to repair, Citroen cars are backed by impressive reliability, because they share parts with several other brands, such as Peugeot and Vauxhall. 

How much does the Citroen C3 cost to run?

The 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines that the C3 comes with are very efficient, which means you’ll spend less time at the pump and pay less in car tax. 

Because they’re geared toward efficiency and not performance, they also help the car to sit in low insurance groups. 

Who is the Citroen C3 suitable for?

The Citroen C3 is a supermini, which means it’s a small hatchback that’s great for solo drivers, new drivers and older drivers. However, because it’s so spacious, you could easily use one of these as a small family car. 

Rivalling models include the Renault Clio, Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo.
