Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Citroen C3
- Quirky styling grabs eyeballs. Lots to customise too.
- Roomy cabin spacious enough for four 6-footers.
- Air-conditioning is super strong. Chills you in no time!
- Comfortable ride quality over a variety of roads. Confident at highway speeds too.
Hyundai Alcazar
- Better rear seat experience than the Hyundai Creta.
- Segment first features like adjustable underthigh support and a utility tray with a cupholder for the 2nd row.
- Third row for children or small adults.
- Still retains some boot space and 3rd row folds flat to give generous boot space.
- Just like the Creta, it's a feature rich experience with a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, 2 zones of climate control, and more.

Citroen C3
- No automatic options on offer with the naturally-aspirated petrol engine
- No CNG variants available.
Hyundai Alcazar
- 3rd row is not suitable for full-sized adults.
- Not eaisly distinguishible from the smaller Creta.
- Blue plastics show some colour mismatch problems like on the small button cluster on the right side of the steering column.
