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
Mahindra Thar 2025-2026
- Attention grabbing design. Looks macho and has a strong road presence
- Available with petrol and diesel engines with a choice of 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions for both.
- More tech: Brake based differential locking system, auto locking rear mechanical differential, shift-on-the-fly 4x4 with low range, 10.25-inch touchscreen with off-road gauges, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and navigation
- Improved noise vibration and harshness management offers a more refined experience

Citroen C3 X
- Fewer automatic variants: No automatic options on offer with the naturally-aspirated petrol engine
Mahindra Thar 2025-2026
- Stiff ride quality. Deals with bad roads well but sharp bumps can unsettle the cabin quite easily
- Old school ladder frame SUV and behaves like one. Loads of body roll even on mild curves
- Some cabin flaws: Rear windows aren’t openable and thick B pillars create large blind spots to the side
- Not an alternative to family-friendly sub-compact/compact SUVs that are more comfortable, practical, spacious and feature-loaded
