Who they are

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)

Citroën C3

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 · F 1.2 Turbo (facelift 2023)

Opel Corsa

B-segment hatchback on the CMP/e-CMP platform, shared with the Peugeot 208. The 1.2 Turbo petrol with 100 hp is the common version. WLTP consumption around 5.6 l/100km (manufacturer figure, indicative); owners report more like 6-6.5 l/100km in mixed use (public forums, not measured by us). The 309 l boot is on the cramped side for the class.
