Used Citroen C3 Cars

Petrol Hatchback

The Citroen C3 is a hatchback that sits within the supermini category. It was first launched by the French manufacturer in 2002, giving Citroen a couple of decades to work on and improve every aspect of this model. The result of these efforts is a car that’s impressive to own and run.

Citroen C3 vehicle information

Citroen market the C3 as compact, customisable and comfortable. It may be relatively small for a hatchback, but you still get five doors with this model, which means it’s both practical and versatile. It’s also fun and attractive to look at, with clean lines and a strong design philosophy bringing plenty of dynamism and pop to the C3’s appearance.

Climbing inside the cabin, you’ll notice the seats and cockpit have been designed in line with the Citroen Advanced Comfort programme. There are advanced tools to keep you safe too, including driver aids such as lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring and Citroen’s Coffee Break Alert feature.

Standard kit on most trims also includes cruise control, active safety braking, keyless entry and start, hill start assist and front and rear parking assistance. You get more equipment as you move through the trim levels, which start at You! and go up to the C-Series Edition, Elle and Shine Plus models. The latter is the only trim that has satellite navigation as standard.

You can also choose between two different petrol engines, which both have a capacity of 1.2 litres and feature stop-start technology to help save fuel. Citroen’s PureTech 83 engine is available only with a manual gearbox, while the PureTech 110 comes in either manual or automatic. CO2 emissions range from 123 to 136g/km depending on spec, while combined fuel economy is between 45 and 55mpg.

Why choose a used Citroen C3?

The compact proportions of the C3 mean it’s a great choice for younger drivers, or anyone who’s apprehensive about driving a big car. It still performs well in terms of practicality though, making it suitable as a family car.

With lots of different options to customise the C3 with, there are plenty of gems available on the used market. Buying used is also a great way to make a significant saving against depreciation, as brand new cars typically lose between 15% and 35% of their value in the first year alone.

The Citroen C3 is suitable for a range of uses and could be ideal as an affordable alternative to one of the more premium brands. There’s little compromise on build quality and spec though, particularly when it comes to driver aids and safety features.
