Citroen has decided not to wait for the final approval of the Auto+ plan and has announced a new price for its most affordable electric vehicle, the e-C3. The brand is preemptively deducting €4,500 in anticipated government subsidies and adding €900 from the CAES certificate. As a result, the base You 200 version costs between €11,550 and €11,700, making it the cheapest electric car on the Spanish market.The brand's website states that the original price is €21,200, but nearly €10,000 is written off through Citroen discounts and the advance of future subsidies. This offer is valid for financing until February 28, 2026, and does not include pre-delivery expenses or registration fees.This approach removes the main problem for buyers: uncertainty about the dates and amount of assistance. Competitors also use a similar advance scheme—for example, the BYD Dolphin Surf sells from €12,955 because the manufacturer must compensate for part of the subsidies due to the model's Chinese origin.The e-C3 is offered in two battery versions: 30 kWh for 204 km WLTP and 44 kWh for 315 km WLTP, both with an 83 kW motor. Production is localized in Slovakia, and battery modules are assembled on-site, which allows the model to receive full Auto+ assistance. Interestingly, the related FIAT Grande Panda loses a quarter of the subsidy due to assembly in Serbia.
