CITROËN ELECTRIC & HYBRID

The range figures we use are taken from a test procedure called WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) which was specifically developed by the European Union in 2017 to be more realistic than in the old NEDC test. This new test is based on real life driving data and therefore better reflects the true performance of a vehicle. It is important to highlight that there may be additional factors that can influence whether you will achieve it or not such as accessories fitted (post registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load.

All Citroën electric vehicles have a drivers display screen where you will find a predicted range figure. This figure may be lower than the maximum range available but this is due to our electric vehicles being able to analyse your recent driving history, condition of the battery and current driving conditions to estimate more accurately the achievable range. If you begin driving your Citroën with a lower energy consumption (lower speeds, fewer passengers etc.) then the range gauge will adjust accordingly throughout your journey.

Many different factors impact range, and any combination of these different factors will influence the range which you achieve on any given day. Most of these factors would equally influence the mpg you would achieve in an internal combustion engine vehicle. Some of the main factors having an impact on range are: driving style, driving speed, terrain (hills, etc), use of heating & air conditioning, acceleration, load (weight of luggage and passengers carried), temperature, and use of regenerative braking.
