- Comfortable ride quality over a variety of roads. Confident at highway speeds too.
Mahindra XUV300
- Comfortable even over bad roads.
- Feels premium because of class-leading safety and convenience features.
- Stable and fun to drive because of steering and good grip.
- Overtaking on highways easy, thanks to punchy diesel engine.

Citroen C3

Mahindra XUV300
- Premium experience let down by quality issues like poorly fitting panels, mushy switches and flimsy stalks.

- Cramped footwell, no space for dead pedal for driver
- Not the most spacious or comfortable backseat in the class
