If you're in the market for an electric-powered supermini, then a used Citroen C-Zero is a great choice. As one of the original fully electric city cars, the C-Zero offers a decent range for daily driving with zero tailpipe emissions. It's also affordable and contains multiple energy-conscious features such as its low-profile grille and rear-mounted motor.
The C-Zero has only ever been available with a single powertrain option on a rear-wheel drive platform.
ElectricWith the electric-only range and the ability to hold four adults, the C-Zero is a practical city car if charging is available nearby.
Interior spaceThe C-Zero was introduced in 2010 in partnership with Mitsubishi, who launched the I-MiEV at the same time. Its egg-shaped design was topped with a small grille that allowed airflow to the electronics and batteries. Aimed at the daily commuter, the rear-engine car was lightweight and nimble. Due to a lack of demand, the C-Zero was discontinued in 2020 without reaching its second generation but remains a popular used car option among buyers looking for small, city-friendly EVs.

The Citroen C-Zero has a top speed of 81mph, and accelerates from 0-62mph in 15.9 seconds.
Drivers should look out for models that include a Comfort Pack that offers heated mirrors and a heated driver's seat. Other extras included remote-controlled heating and air conditioning, allowing users to set the interior temperature before even getting inside. There's also the option to program the time at which the car charges, similar to how you program your heating at home.
The C-Zero was designed to provide zero tailpipe emissions with a short electric driving range. While four people can fit in the car, it's only meant to drive short distances, such as a daily commute or school run into the city, where a charger is available.
Citroen claims that it takes 25 minutes to charge from 10% to 80% at a fast charger. When plugged into a household socket, expect full charging to take about six hours. For most users, plugging the car in at night means that it will be ready to go in the morning.
As with most electric cars, the C-Zero only has an automatic gearbox. The single-speed transmission ensures instant access to torque, creating less of a pause when it's time to accelerate.
No, Citroen only made the C-Zero with rear-wheel drive. As a small city car, there's no essential requirement for all-wheel drive capability.
The C-Zero is capable of up to 85 miles range, if the battery is healthy and maintained properly.
