Citroen e-C3 Aircross Extended Range brings 249 miles for just £23,495
Just a couple of days after Vauxhall put the new Frontera Long Range on sale, Citroen has done the same with its sister car, the e-C3 Aircross Extended Range. The e-C3 Aircross Extended Range (just like the Standard Range car and indeed the e-C3 supermini) qualifies for the Government's new Electric Car Grant, although it's for £1,500 rather than the full £3,750. With the grant included, the e-C3 Aircross Extended Range comes in at £23,495 in Plus trim or £25,495 for the Max version – both representing a £1,900 premium over the Standard Range. Advertisement - Article continues below Having tested the e-C3 Aircross Standard Range already, we'd imagine that extra outlay for the Extended Range will be worth it in the eyes of most buyers. That's because the e-C3 Aircross in Standard Range form comes with a 44kWh battery providing 188 miles of range, while the Extended Range has a 54kWh battery enabling up to 249 miles (the Max lowers this by one mile). The Extended Range gets the same 113bhp, front-mounted electric motor as the Standard Range, but because of the extra weight of the battery, the Extended Range takes an extra 1.3 seconds to go from 0-62mph, at 13 seconds. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below Charging speeds for the e-C3 Aircross Extended Range stand at the same 100kW maximum as the smaller battery model. Again, because of the extra size of the battery, the Extended Range is a tad slower to take a 20 to 80 per cent charge at 28 minutes, compared to 26 minutes in the Standard Range. Of course, Citroen has a whole host of all-electric offerings these days and you can find great deals on the e-C3, e-C4 and even the new e-C5 Aircross on the Auto Express Find A Car service . The Extended Range shares the same kit list as the Standard Range, meaning in Plus trim you get 17-inch alloy wheels, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a reversing camera and Citroen's Advanced Comfort Suspension and Advanced Comfort Seats – helping to set it apart from the Vauxhall Frontera. Max trim adds front and side parking sensors, a heated windscreen, a two-tone contrasting roof, blind spot monitoring, foglights and LED rear lights. Inside there's a heated steering wheel and heated seats, alongside a wireless smartphone charger.

Brilliant Citroen e-C3 Aircross now goes further and costs less
The Citroen e-C3 Aircross is one of the best new cars I've driven this year – I love its blend of family-friendly space, first-rate tech and comfortable drive. Now it's about to get even better with a longer-range version and the government's Electric Car Grant to make it even cheaper. Citroen has been the first car maker to benefit from the Electric Car Grant, with £1,500 off its range of electric cars. That includes the new e-C3, e-C4, e-C4 X and e-Berlingo. Next into Citroen showrooms in September will be the e-C3 Aircross, a more spacious version of the e-C3 with a bit of SUV attitude, and the Electric Car Grant will apply to that model, too. Until now, only the Standard Range models have been available to order, with a maximum claimed range of 188 miles. Now, though, Extended Range e-C3 Aircrosses are set to arrive with the option of a 54kWh battery rather than the Standard Range's 44kWh unit, giving a range of up to 249 miles. The maximum charging speed on a suitable charger remains at 100kW, meaning the Extended Range cars can take 28 minutes to get a 20 to 80 per cent charge. There's a £1,900 price increase for the bigger battery, but the e-C3 Aircross still looks to be good value, especially when the Electric Car Grant is taken into account. The range now starts at £21,595 for the Standard Range Plus model or £23,495 for the Extended Range version – both prices include the government-provided discount. Moving up to the Max version costs another £2,000, so £23,595 for the Standard Range car and £25,495 for the Extended Range Max, again both prices include the Electric Car Grant. All e-C3 Aircross models get a 10.25-inch touchscreen featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a reversing camera, Citroën Head-Up Display and a compact steering wheel. MAX models add level add front and rear parking sensors, a heated acoustic windscreen, a heated steering wheel and heated front seats, and wireless smartphone charging. Although we drove the new e-C3 Aircross earlier this year, first cars aren't expected to arrive in UK dealerships until September, in time for the new 75-plate registrations.
