The Citroën C3 debuts the e-VTi 82 ETG engine

Citroën has debuted the e-VTi 82 ETG engine in the C3, a powertrain that delivers power and performance with very tight consumption figures. The new engine, which is offered on the Collection trim, is paired with the Stop&Start system and produces 82 CV, with consumption of 3.9 l/100 km on the extra-urban cycle.

The e-VTi 82 engine belongs to the PureTech petrol engine family and features the new 5-speed ETG automated manual gearbox. Combined with the Stop&Start system, it achieves consumption of 4.1 l/100 km on the combined cycle and CO2 emissions of just 95 g/km, which exempts it from the registration tax.

PureTech is a new generation of 3-cylinder petrol engines, frugal in consumption and emissions. 52 patents have been filed for this new generation of engines, aimed at reducing weight, gaining capacity, optimising combustion and reducing friction, all with the goal of cutting fuel consumption by 25% and greenhouse gas emissions, while also providing greater responsiveness.

The price of this new version of the C3 (including VAT, registration tax and transport) will be 15,050 euros throughout Spanish territory.
