Citroen C3 3.Generation PureTech 110 Stop&Start Shine Pack EAT6 - Long-range vehicle

Is the Citroen C3 suitable for long distances? If one asks the question whether this motor vehicle is also suitable for longer journeys, one has to consider different aspects, comfort, tank volume, top speed...

The tank capacity (45 liters) is rather average in size, but in conjunction with the good average consumption (4.7 liters / 100km), you can sometimes cover very long ranges with the Citroen C3. An important criterion for frequent drivers: the top speed. This is 193 km/h and is thus quite suitable for long distances if you don't want to permanently stay above the 200 mark. Comfort and interior space are at least as important on long journeys. With 3996 mm length, the car is rather one of the smaller ones. You should not expect too much comfort here (suspension, seat upholstery, noise insulation).

The integrated distance cruise control ensures both safe and relaxed travel by automatically maintaining both the speed and the distance to the vehicle in front. Of course, air conditioning is a must for comfortable journeys. Here, even an automatic air conditioning system is installed, i.e. the air volume and temperature is automatically adjusted to the interior temperature, while a simple air conditioning system has to be operated manually. In unclear parking situations, the built-in rear view camera helps to avoid accidents. The integrated lane departure warning system helps the driver stay on the lane. The driver is warned of objects in the blind spot should an attempt be made to change lanes.

The Citroen C3 achieves decent ranges thanks to its moderate average consumption, but as a compact-class vehicle it is often deprived of comfort features such as comfortable seats suitable for long journeys and appropriate noise insulation. Be sure to check possible additional options. Therefore, a limited recommendation for frequent drivers.
