Citroën has opened 2026 by reshaping its approach to affordable electric cars, bringing back a lower-cost version of the e-C3 Aircross electric crossover and significantly reducing the model’s starting price.
Base model returns after late-2025 line-up narrowing
By the end of 2025, the e-C3 Aircross range had been pared back to a single option: the Autonomía Extendida, equipped with a 54 kWh battery and offering up to 400 km of range on the WLTP test cycle. In Spain, that version was listed from €29,550 in You trim.
Citroën has now reintroduced the Autonomía Confort variant, fitted with a smaller 44 kWh battery and a claimed 300 km WLTP range.
Pricing drops, with Spanish incentives lowering the effective cost further
The reinstated entry-level version is priced at €25,690 before subsidies. When a comparable specification was first launched in June 2024, it started from €27,400.
In the Spanish market, the e-C3 Aircross is eligible for up to €4,500 of support under the Plan Auto+ scheme, taking the effective price down to €21,190.
A move aimed at first-time EV buyers amid intensifying rivalry
By restoring a more affordable specification, Citroën is looking to strengthen its position in the compact electric SUV segment and broaden its appeal to motorists considering an electric vehicle for the first time.
The decision comes as competition increases, including from Chinese manufacturers, with the e-C3 Aircross positioned as one of the lower-priced electric crossovers in its class, combining a practical body style with modern design cues.
