Citroen C3 Fuel Consumption (MPG & km/L)

As a small car, the Citro?n C3 boasts some very impressive fuel consumption figures. The small petrol engines will drive 100km on just 4.7 to 5.1 litres of fuel. In terms of CO2 emissions this equates to around 109 to 120 g/km.

Looking at the diesel model, the most economical version achieves a average fuel consumption of around 3.4 litres per 100 km and CO2 emissions of 90 g/km which is about average for the class of car. The most powerful petrol engine of the C3 in the second generation delivers an impressive 120bhp. There is a excellent choice of 16 different engines in the C3 range which gives drivers a lot more options than other cars in its class. Since the C3 first entered the UK and European markets, the small car has only been available with front-wheel drive. The Citro?n C3 has a lot of competition: these include typical small cars like the Audi A1, Ford Fiesta and Toyota Yaris, although the A1 would typically be marketed at a different customer group.

As a diesel (HDi & BlueHDi) and petrol engine (VTi & PureTech), the fuel consumption of the Citroen C3 varies between 3.0 to 7.2 litres per 100 kilometers depending on the model and driving conditions. It's worth noting that a lot of C3 owners opt for a roof rack or a roof box to increase the payload but this will increase the fuel consumption of the C3 even more. The most economical version of the Citro?n C3 has an average consumption of 4.4 - 4.5 l/100 km.

Citroen C3 Fuel Efficiency Figures

The fuel consumption of the Citroen C3 is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular Citroen C3 variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a Citroen C3 in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

Citroen C3 Picasso Fuel Consumption

If you are looking at purchasing the Picassio C3 then there are three different engines for you to choose from. The smallest is a 1.2 litre three-cylinder petrol engine with 110hp, with slightly less power is the 1.4 litre four-cylinder petrol engine with 95hp, a the largest engine is a 1.6 litre four-cylinder diesel with 99hp. Anyone who appreciates a bit more of a sporty feel then the C3's three-cylinder 1.2 litre engine goes from 0-100km/h in 10.7 seconds with a top speed of 186 km/h and is easily the quickest C3 Picasso in the trio.

How To Calculate Real Fuel Efficiency Of Your Citroen C3

Citroen C3 Fuel Consumption

Knowing the real fuel consumption (sometimes called 'Real MPG' or 'Real km/L) of your Citroen C3 is critical because it is shows the actual fuel efficiency you are getting from the car. It shows you the true MPG or km/L you are getting from your Citroen C3 from driving in the real world, rather than the figures provided by the manufacturer. Calculating both the fuel economy of your car is as easy as 1-2-3.. Use our simple Fuel Efficiency Calculator to help easily work this out.

How To Calculate Real Fuel Consumption Of Your Citroen C3

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your Citroen C3 is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:

(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
