Hot car deal: top-spec Citroen C3 hatchback for just £127 per month

Competing in the supermini class is a tough job, but the funky Citroen C3 stands out thanks to its characterful styling, comfortable ride and fuel-sipping efficiency. The C3 is easy to drive, too, with a decent boot and a light, airy cabin. True, it’s not the most fun from behind the wheel, but the French five-door hatch is unapologetic when it comes to prioritising overall comfort and ride quality over a sportier setup.

What’s so good about this Citroen C3 deal? 

This deal from Nationwide Vehicle Contracts lets you cover up to 5,000 miles a year with an initial payment of £1,518.48, then 24 monthly payments of £126.54. Extending the agreed mileage limit to 10,000 miles per year means you’ll pay £144.07 every month, while the deposit amount increases to £1,728.84. Whichever deal you opt for, you’ll need to cover the £270 processing fee, too.

Offered in top-of-the-range Max trim, this C3 includes 17-inch alloys, automatic LED headlights and wipers, rear parking sensors, cruise control, Citroen’s Advanced Comfort Seats, and a seven-inch touchscreen with Citroen Connect Nav (three-year subscription to features such as live traffic updates and speed camera alerts) and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

Power comes from a 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine producing 81bhp via a five-speed manual gearbox; 0-62mph takes 12.5 seconds, with a 103mph maximum speed, while Citroen claims that you should average up to 53.4mpg on a mixture of roads.

What’s so good about the Citroen C3?

The Citroen C3 is a great supermini choice for buyers that want to make a statement and stand out from the crowd. If you’re looking for a car that provides relaxed urban motoring then the C3 is worth a look – particularly when you consider its generous kit list in Max trim, and those low monthly payments.

Anything else I need to know about this deal?

This is a lease deal, often referred to as Personal Contract Hire (PCH), so there’s no option to buy the car at the end of the contract. You are effectively renting the car for the two-year term, but the deal is very flexible so you can adjust the term length, mileage limit and initial payment size to suit but only at the outset. Once the deal is over, you just hand the keys back and start looking for your next car.
