Citroen has begun taking orders in the UK for the new e-C3 Aircross Extended Range, which features a larger 54 kWh battery enabling a WLTP combined range of up to 249 miles.
Prices start from £23,495 on the road after the UK’s £1,500 Electric Car Grant, positioning the compact SUV below the scheme’s price threshold.
The Extended Range variant is available in PLUS and MAX trim levels and joins the Standard Range version, which has a 44 kWh battery and 188-mile range.
Both models support DC rapid charging at up to 100 kW, enabling a 20% to 80% charge in around 28 minutes, while a 7 kW home charger can achieve the same in just over five hours.
Despite the larger battery, the five-seater maintains a 4.39-metre length, segment-leading second-row space, and a 460-litre boot capacity.
Standard equipment across the range includes 17-inch alloy wheels, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a reversing camera, and the Visibility Pack.
The PLUS trim adds a modern dashboard layout, Citroen’s Head-Up Display, and a compact steering wheel, while MAX models include additional driver assistance features, bi-tone roof options, heated seating, and wireless phone charging.
The e-C3 Aircross Extended Range joins Citroen’s line-up of electric models under £30,000, alongside the Ami, e-C3, e-C4 and e-C4 X.
