Citroën has inaugurated a new production line for the New C3 at Stellantis’ modernised Kragujevac facility in central Serbia. Complementing the Trnava, Slovakia plant, this move underscores Citroën’s commitment to manufacturing affordable, electrified mobility solutions within Europe.

The Serbian facility, upgraded between 2022 and 2024 under a strategic agreement with the Serbian Ministry of Economy, now boasts advanced automation and robotics—ensuring high productivity and consistent quality.

Commercial Success and Versatile Powertrains

The New C3, now in its fourth generation, has already garnered over 130,000 orders since its late 2024 launch—30% of which are electric variants. It ranks second in France’s electric vehicle sales and holds third place in overall sales in both France and Italy as of Q1 2025.

Available in three versions—petrol, hybrid, and electric—the New C3 appeals to a broad audience seeking comfort, affordability, and performance.

• Electric Variant: Offers over 320 km of range (WLTP), tailored for daily urban commutes.
• Hybrid Version: Balances fuel efficiency with low emissions for flexible mobility.
• Petrol Model: Cost-effective and agile, maintaining the C3’s urban practicality.

Refined Comfort and Design

Built on the new Smart Car platform, the New C3 introduces SUV-inspired styling with compact dimensions, improved access, and greater interior space.

It features Citroën’s Advanced Comfort® suspension and seats, paired with the innovative C-Zen lounge dashboard concept, ensuring an elevated driving experience.

The Bottom Line

The addition of Serbia as a production hub reinforces Citroën’s vision: to democratise electric mobility while delivering comfort, practicality, and striking design to European customers.
