If you're in the market for a car that's comfortable, compact and efficient, then a used Citroen C3 is a great choice. The C3's unique design helps it to stand out in a competitive market, while the various available options allow for more personalisation. Every model features a decent amount of equipment, and there are several low-emitting and efficient engines to choose from, keeping the running costs down.
Citroen has made the C3 available with petrol and diesel engines, paired to an automatic or a manual gearbox and standard front-wheel drive.
PetrolEarlier diesel models included a 70bhp 1.4-litre with 65mpg or a 1.6-litre that ranged between 75bhp and 115bhp with a fuel economy rating of up to 80mpg.
Considering that the C3 is a supermini, it's great for city driving, and there is more interior room than first meets the eye, making it very practical.
Interior spaceThe Citroen C3 first hit the streets in 2002, designed to supply a unique style with plenty of practicality. Since then, there have been two more generations, with many different models inspired by the C3, such as the C3 Picasso MPV, the C3 Pluriel convertible and the newest electric e-C3. With each new generation, Citroen has revised the powertrain options and updated the styling, ensuring that the supermini remains popular and relevant.
With the third generation came some new styling changes, including the addition of updated LED daytime running lights and high-mounted LED taillights. There were also some needed revisions to the powertrain options, ensuring more efficiency and power.
A 2019 update brought revised LED headlamps, 17-inch alloy wheels and air bumps that help to protect the vehicle from dents. When Citroen decided to release the all-electric e-C3, the company also decided to change the name of the C3 to the C3 Origin, even though it's the same lineup as before.

The second-generation C3 had a whole new shape, even though it used the same platform as before. It received a curved look and headlights, while the grille was moved all the way into the bumper. The windscreen extended to the roof to give it a different profile and better visibility.
A 2013 facelift included updated LED daytime running lights and a restyled lower grille that appeared to smile. The taillights also received some upgrades with chrome around them to help them stand out. Inside the cabin, Citroen also released some newer materials.

Petrol engines have been the top choice for buyers because they are cheaper to purchase. Even though they have lower efficiency ratings than the diesels, these are still relatively cheap to run.
Citroen currently offers the C3 Origin in three models: You, Plus and Max. The most popular models are older, with many customers choosing the Feel, which is slightly higher than the base with better connectivity features. Others enjoy the top-spec Flair with automatic air conditioning, a reversing camera and a leather-trimmed steering wheel.
Customers should look out for an available panoramic roof that cuts down slightly on the headroom but adds a unique style. An available Visibility Pack also adds automatic rain-sensing front windscreen wipers and automatic headlights.
Despite its smaller size, the C3 is great for families with young children. The back seat is accommodating and there's enough boot space to hold some groceries. ISOFIX mounting points also help with child seat installation.
No, Citroen has only built the C3 with petrol and diesel engine options. However, there's a newer e-C3 that has an electric setup for zero tailpipe emissions.
Automatic transmission options have been available, but the manual has been more popular among used C3 models. Customers shouldn't have trouble finding either one.
No, as a supermini, the C3 only comes with a front-wheel drive configuration. This setup ensures that the car weighs less and helps to maximise efficiency.
