We feel a bit sorry for Citroen – it's a brand whose name does little to excite.

But that’s unfair. After all, Citroen designs anything but boring cars - look at the quirkiness of its products over the years. The C3 and the C4 Cactus are just two examples. They look, frankly, like they’ve been thought up by the Nutty Professor - in fact, they look like they’ve got part of a sofa's seatback attached to their sides.

Even today, the French manufacturer is responsible for the Ami, an electric quadricycle - essentially a four-wheeled moped with an enclosed interior and steering wheel. If you consider that to be a ‘car’, it’s the cheapest one you can have in the UK.

Nobody would ever compare Citroens with Lamborghinis – and rightly so – but the Italian manufacturer is the only one we can think of that can match Citroen's insanity regarding design.

Unlike any supercar manufacturer, Citroen also does well by offering great value for money. And that’s certainly true of its newest offering, the e-C3.

It is an electric version of the recently launched C3, which has been redesigned with SUV-inspired styling - and it's priced keenly, especially for an electric car.

These days, Citroen is owned by Stellantis, which also owns other brands including Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati, Peugeot, and Vauxhall.

So, how does the e-C3 compare with rivals such as the BYD Dolphin, MG 4 EV, and Hyundai Inster? Let’s take a look.
