21 May 2024Like the exterior, the interior of the new C3 is identical to its electric ë-C3 counterpart. This means there are some very welcome physical switches and buttons for the heating and ventilation and a 10.25in touchscreen left simply for the navigation, music and wireless smartphone mirroring for either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
The new C3 also gets a clever head-up display that’s projected onto a strip running across the top of the dashboard. It’s neat and tidy and more cost-effective than traditional displays, while also high enough to not ever be obscured by the steering wheel, unlike in Peugeot’s i-Cockpit. The steering wheel itself is small and actually quite rectangular, yet it doesn’t feel odd to use and gets some shortcut buttons of its own.
The boot is 310 litres and is a good shape, although access to it is over a very high loading lip. The rear seats fold in a 60/40 split and there is enough space in the back for rear passengers to be comfortable.
The seats are all part of Citroën’s Advanced Comfort package, and get extra support in the shoulders and extra foam to be as comfortable as possible – and they are just that. We’re fans.
