The battle's on to fill the void in the supermini market left by the end of production of this segment's erstwhile best seller, Ford's Fiesta. The Stellantis Group conglomerate has three runners in this particular race; two are recently revised - the Fiesta's traditional arch-rival and segment sales leader Vauxhall's Corsa and the modern style icon that is Peugeot's 208. The Stellantis dark horse though, could be the car we look at here, Citroen's fourth generation C3. It's considerably cheaper than its cousins - and unlike them, it gets an all-new 'Smart Car' Stellantis platform that the group is ear-marking for models it wants to price low enough to compete with the budget brands. Sure enough, the cost competition here is less Corsa and 208 and more Suzuki Swift and Dacia Sandero. Unlike those latter two models though, you can also have this C3 in full-electric form and as a proper Hybrid as well as in conventional combustion guise. Sounds an interesting proposition.
You might not be immediately drawn to the squarical looks of this fourth generation C3. And its unusual dashboard is something of an acquired taste. But all may well be forgiven when you check out the budget value pricing. With this little Citroen, Stellantis seems to have at last worked out how to make a supermini for sensible money - and that's a very welcome development. Like its predecessor, the ride is set up to be softer than the supermini norm - and for us, that's welcome too, given the potholed urban environment in which a typical C3 will operate. Plus it's very decently equipped for the money and quite customisable. Yes there are more polished contenders in this segment, but they cost a lot more. Are they worth more? After a look at this very Gallic offering, you might wonder.
