About the Citroen e-C3
The electric Citroen e-C3 joined the UK leasing market in 2024 as one of the most affordable EVs available, going up against other value vehicles like the Dacia Spring and MG4 EV.
The exterior styling is pleasing, with chunky, SUV-like proportions that belie the e-C3’s compact size, while the uncluttered interior is simple yet refined.
Designed with urban driving in mind, the regular Citroen e-C3 gets a 44 kWh battery that equates to a range of around 198 miles between charges, while the slimline 'Urban Range' model features a smaller 30 kWh battery and a lesser range of around 130 miles.
Meanwhile a 310-litre boot is practical enough for daily use.
Why lease the Citroen e-C3?
One of the main reasons you’ll choose to lease the Citroen e-C3 is affordability, as it’s one of the cheapest EVs on the leasing market.
Despite the low monthly lease fee, the e-C3 is well equipped as standard with entry-level models featuring a 10-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone mirroring.
You also get rear parking sensors, lane-departure warning and automatic emergency braking (AEB) as standard.
Meanwhile 100kW DC rapid charging capabilities (for the 44 kWh battery) allow public charging from 20% to 80% in as little as 26 minutes.
Which Citroen e-C3 powertrain is right for me?
Standard Range
The Citroen e-C3’s 44 kWh battery provides power of 113 hp and a relatively sprightly 0-62 mph acceleration time of 11 seconds. The range maxes-out at around 198 miles. Using a standard 7.4 kW charger takes the energy in the battery from 20% to 80% in four hours and 10 minutes.
Urban Range
The Urban Range model is built with city commuting in mind and features a smaller 30 kWh battery that brings a range of up to 130 miles between charges. Acceleration from 0-62mph takes 10.4 seconds. It's a car designed to be charged at home or at work so comes as standard with 7.4 kW AC charging; faster charging capabilities of 11 kW AC or 30 kW DC are available as optional extras.
Which Citroen e-C3 trim level should I lease?
Plus
Entry-level Plus models feature Citroen’s ‘Advanced Comfort’ seats and suspension and also come with a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen that supports wireless smartphone mirroring. Standard kit also includes Active Lane Departure Warning System, speed limit detection and recommendation, driver attention alert, hill start assist, cruise control, and a speed limiter.
Max
The Max versions of the Citroen e-C3 add extras such as a rear parking camera, automatic air conditioning, LED rear lights, dark-tinted windows, and a heated steering wheel.

Jon was excellent throughout the process, and really worked hard for me. There was a small price discrepancy, as the “in stock deal” on the website only indicated the price for a base model without any additional options, which was not actually possible to order - which I felt was a little misleading. However, Jon worked up a deal I was happy with, and communicated very well throughout the process - including following up with some issues after delivery. I will definitely use again.
Yeh, good service a bit of headache filling forms couple of times but turn around was very good and with the maintenance cover it’s peace of mind.
What's great: I'm now driving a lovely Lexus at a far more affordable price than I could find elsewhere. My contract includes a full maintenance deal which isn't always available with other providers. The sales process and arranging the finance was a good experience, with lots of support from Dave. Thanks Dave! BUT ... Once the contract had been agreed, communication was terrible. I was told that I would get access to the portal (which is the only way to track progress) 'shortly': it took 2 weeks and multiple phone calls and emails (initiated by me)to gain access. Promises to phone me back were not met. In the end, Dave sorted it out. Thanks Dave. The portal looked promising as it appeared that I could track my car's journey from the factory in Japan to delivery. However, apart from me uploading identity documents to it (not acknowledged until I got in contact), the portal did not change except to put my expected delivery date back a month (no explanation). Then out of the blue, the Lexus dealership phoned me to say that my car was ready for collection. This was surprising as the portal located the car in Japan, and gave me a bit of a dilemma as I needed to get rid of my current car at very short notice (anyone looking for an Audi Q2?). Nothing from Select Car until I contacted them to say where the car was. Their failure to contact me was apparently the Lexus dealership's fault in some way ... which I find hard to believe to be honest. I made the decision to collect the car rather than have it delivered, in order to get a proper dealership handover, which I was told was fine. Only nothing happened until I phoned Select Car and was told that I had to arrange collection directly with the dealer. That was news to me, but I did it, and was then sent regular emails informing me that my car was due to be delivered to my house on that date. A few more phone calls followed to sort that out ... Maybe I just had a poor experience. Maybe if you go for a car that is in stock rather than a factory order the process might be smoother. At the end of the day, I did get my car at a good price and within the original time frame, so on reflection I've changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars. But it was a frustrating journey which some joined-up communications at Select Car would have made a happier overall experience.
