Full review

What it is like to live with

In town the upright body, light controls and soft suspension matter more than outright speed. It feels honest rather than luxurious, with durable materials and unusually good seat comfort for the price.

What works

Compact footprint and raised seating

Advanced Comfort seats and suspension

Low-cost LFP battery package

What irritates

Short motorway range

Basic plastics and modest performance

310 L boot limits dog-and-luggage combinations

Family + dog

Best for a small dog and light family use

The 310-litre boot handles daily errands or a small dog, but a large crate and holiday luggage will not fit comfortably together.

Trips + camping

A city EV for short escapes

Soft seats and suspension help on local weekends; the 44 kWh battery and 100 kW charging require frequent stops on long motorway journeys.

City + daily life · 4.8/5

The comfort-first electric city car

Compact dimensions, light steering, raised visibility and Citroën Advanced Comfort suspension suit narrow streets and broken Portuguese urban roads.

Cargo · 3.0/5

Easy parking for local delivery work

The compact body is attractive for urban service routes, while businesses needing real capacity should consider the related two-seat commercial version.

Taxi + high mileage · 3.6/5

Low entry price, limited full-day range

It can suit short urban shifts, but rear space, motorway range and charging downtime rule it out for intensive airport or intercity TVDE work.
