About the Citroën C3 Mk3
The third-generation Citroën C3 moved away from the rounded aesthetic of its predecessors, adopting a bold, SUV-inspired look influenced by the C4 Cactus. It introduced the distinctive 'Airbump' panels to protect against car park dings and focused heavily on the 'Citroën Advanced Comfort' programme, featuring wider, sofa-like seats and a soft suspension setup. The 1.2-litre PureTech 110 engine is the pick of the range, providing punchy turbocharged performance that suits both urban environments and motorway cruising. While it lacks the sharp handling of a Ford Fiesta, its unique design and relaxed driving manner make it a standout choice in the competitive B-segment.
