Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Citroen C3 X
- Quirky styling: Grabs eyeballs and has lots of customisation options.
- Roomy cabin: Offers good space for two 6-footers to sit behind two 6-footers
- Keeps you cool: Air-conditioning is super strong and chills you in no time
- Comfortable and confident: Offers a plush ride quality over a variety of roads and remains stable at highway speeds too
Hyundai Exter
- Design: Subtle updates like the new grille, alloys and wing-type spoiler keep the Exter looking fresh without losing its distinct identity
- Cabin: New dual-tone Navy & Grey theme, metal pedals and improved materials make the interior feel more premium and youthful
- Strong package with 6 airbags as standard, ESC, HAC and over 45 safety features for added peace of mind
- Spacious cabin, 391-litre boot and smart dual-cylinder CNG layout that retains usable luggage space
- Refinement: The only 4-cylinder engine in the segment delivers smoother and more refined performance than rivals

Citroen C3 X
