Citroen C3 PureTech 83 FWD: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Among the 19 city cars 2020–2024, the C3 PureTech 83 FWD ranks 3rd of 16 in Combined consumption (5.1 L/100, behind the Skoda Fabia 1.0 TSI 110 7DSG), 19th of 19 in 0–100 km/h (14.0 s, behind the Toyota GR Yaris Morizo Edition).

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
