Not all of them will be EVs since Stellantis’ Smart Car platform has been engineered to accommodate combustion engines as well. The arhitecture is not completely new since it’s derived from CMP, developed by PSA. A bigger version of the e-C3 is coming, according to Tourte, who went on to say at least two other brands will launch cars starting next year. When asked about whether the next-generation Fiat Panda is going to be one of them, Tourte strongly suggested that it will by saying it’s “not completely foolish to think that.” Its debut has already been confirmed for July 11, 2024\u00a0to mark Fiat’s 125th<\/sup> anniversary.<\/p>\n How cheap are these cars going to be? Well, the Citro\u00ebn e-C3 is initially going to cost \u20ac23,300 ($24,600 at current exchange rates) in France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, and Portugal when it goes on sale in early 2024. A lower-range variant will reduce the asking price to only \u20ac19,990 ($21,100) and will hit the market in 2025.<\/p>\n With the newly released e-C3 and future models, Citro\u00ebn wants to achieve at least a 5% market share in Europe. However, the competition is increasingly tougher on the Old Continent as more and more Chinese brands are bringing their affordable EVs. Lest we forget Renault builds the popular Dacia Spring in the People’s Republic and ships it to Europe with great success.<\/p>\n
