The number of passenger car registrations last July shows a general drop of 7% in Spain. However, and as we anticipated in Hybrids and Electrics, electric cars set the only positive note with growth of 33% compared to the same month last year. Within this context, the best-selling electric car of the month of July, in addition, has Spanish manufacture.
It is the Citroën ë-C4 electric, a model that was also the best-selling in the month of May and that although it is definitely a French model, its production takes place in the Villaverde factory in Madrid, south of the capital . The electric version of the C4 It has achieved the first position in the electric battery sales table thanks to the 165 units it has sold.
The Citroën model is followed in the monthly ranking by the Dacia Spring, with 163 registrations; the Hyundai Kona, with 126 units (+31.25%), and the “top 5” is closed by two compact models of the latest batch. On the one hand, the Renault Megane takes fourth position with 113 units, and on the other, the Cupra Born closes the top five positions after registering 105 units.
However, the absence of the Tesla Model 3 among the top five positions stands out (probably because of Tesla’s non-reporting). The American model leads the annual accumulated with 1,592 units.
The Citroën ë-C4 is one of the most interesting electric cars that can be bought in Spain
That the electric version of the C4 is enjoying a privileged position in the sales ranking in our country is due to the fact that the French model boasts a relationship between physical characteristics, electrical performance and price that is currently difficult to find in other models.
Its technical base is the Stellantis e-CMP platform, so its motor and battery system is the same as that found in smaller models such as the Peugeot e-208 or the Opel Corsa-e, so there lies one of the the keys in its relationship between price and product, because by dimensions and capacities it is a C segment that takes a base from the B segment.
It has an electric motor 100 kW (136 hp) which is powered by a 50 kWh capacity battery. Thanks to this duo, the electric version of the C4 manages to homologate a autonomy of 357 kilometers with a full charge, while a 0 to 100 in 9.7 seconds are responsible for certifying that you enjoy solvent acceleration.
The ë-C4 is priced in Spain at 33,129 euros, which, together with the minimum 5,000 euros provided by the Moves III Plan, make it one of the most interesting in Spain. In addition to that, a 380 liter trunk and an aesthetic with characteristic Citroën identity and SUV attributes They have just rounded up a set that should be valued by anyone who is immersed in the search for a new and relatively affordable electric car.
