New C3 is Citroën of the future

The next-gen Citroën C3 will go on sale by the middle of the decade as a compact EV with styling and construction heavily influenced by the firm's Ami quadricycle and Oli concept car.

A new C3 EV was confirmed to be in the works by Citroën branding executive Laurent Barria, who said the car will be focused on "accessibility to electric mobility" and lean on design cues and sustainability credentials exhibited by the recently revealed Oli.

Barria added that it will be the first Citroën to wear the brand's new logo, which means an official reveal is likely to take place within the next year.

Design director Pierre Leclercq has previously said the Ami and Oli "have to influence [Citroën's] production cars" - indicating that its next models will borrow key ideas from each to kick off the brand's push for sustainability and affordability.
