Car prices are obscene right now. Fuel is too.
Finding cheap personal transport feels impossible. Almost a myth.
This deal offers some breathing room.
DreamLease is listing the Citroen e-C3 at £135.37 a month via the Auto Express service. And this isn’t the base model you’d expect with stripped-out interiors.
It’s the range-topping e-C3 Max.
Here are the numbers for the standard two-year lease.
- Initial payment: £1,924.42
- Annual mileage: 8,000
- Total cost: £5,037.44
Want to stretch the term?
You can go for three years.
Add £12 to the monthly payment.
The upfront fee drops to £1,334.53.
Your total outlay becomes £7,369.86. That breaks down to just under £2,50 per year. Not bad in today’s climate.
The electric range is the headline feature here.
The e-C3 sits on a 44kWh battery. Citroen claims it can hit 200 miles on a charge.
If you plug it into an off-peak home supply at 10p/kWh?
It costs £4.40 to fill up.
Two pence a mile. Think about that when you pull into a petrol station.
What do you actually get for that cash?
Max means max equipment. No shortcuts.
You get 17-inch diamond-cut alloys.
Two-tone paint.
A 10.25-inch touchscreen. It plays nicely with Apple CarPlay and Android Android.
Heated seats. Heated steering wheel. Adaptive cruise control. A reversing camera.
There is more to it. Citroen uses ‘Hydraulic Cushion’ suspension on these models.
Bump stops handle the rough patches. Ironing out potholes. Making ruts irrelevant. It rides softly. Maybe too softly for some, but the comfort is undeniable.
These picks come from Auto Express’ Buy A Car database. They pull the best current offers from dealers and leasing firms across the UK.
Terms apply. Always check. Prices change. Stock runs out.
If this one slips through your fingers?
Head to the Citroen e-C3 page on their site. There are usually more deals from other providers waiting in the wings.
Is it enough range for long hauls? Probably not. But for local trips?
It might be the sweetest spot on the market right now.
Or maybe not. You decide.
