Design

Citroen eC3 hasn’t changed a bit.

Coming to the side section, it also remains unchanged.

The charging port is positioned at the front section. However, Citroen did not remove the fuel tank flap situated at the rear section.

Nevertheless, it does include an EV badge to signify that this is truly electric.

Citroen C3 EV Price in Nepal and Availability

Talking about the price, the Citroen C3 EV price in Nepal starts at Rs. 32.99 Lakhs for the Live variant and Rs. 34.99 Lakhs for the Feel with Vibe Pack variant.

The following table is the Citroen eC3 price in Nepal for April 2024.

For those curious about the pricing strategy, please note that the eC3 is more expensive than ICE C3 in the Indian market.

Thanks to the lean tax rates on EVs, Citroen Nepal will offer the new EV at a much more affordable price. Nevertheless, the price has still garnered polarizing reactions online.

Citroen eC3 rivals Tata Tigor EV.

Tigor EV offers a larger 55 kW motor with extra safety features like Corner Stability Control (CSC) and Hill Assist (HA). Conversely, Citroen eCs come with a larger battery giving a better range of 320 Km.

Both are very similar in terms of offering, performance, and range. However, the Tata Tigor includes more features for the similar price. Tata Nepal also has a far better charging network and service stations across the country which builds a good sense of reliability among the Tata owners over Citroen. 

As such there is no clear winner here.

Additionally, the Citroen eC3 comes with a 7-year (or 140,000 km) warranty on the Battery and a 5-year (or 100,000 km) warranty on the Motor.
