A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.
Profile · III (2024, PureTech 100)
Third-generation C3 (2024), slightly higher on the wheels than the previous one, on the Smart Car platform. The petrol version is the PureTech 100 (1.2 three-cylinder turbo); WLTP consumption around 5.6 l/100km (manufacturer figure, indicative). Shares the body with the electric ë-C3 (photo). Indicative starting price, check the official configurator for the current figure.
Profile · ECO-G 100 (Bi-Fuel, 2021+)
Bi-fuel: runs on LPG and petrol. LPG consumption is higher per 100 km than petrol (7.5 vs 5.9 l/100km WLTP) but the per-litre price is lower. Net cost depends on the current fuel prices (no cost advice here). Cheapest entry in the catalogue.
