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
Maruti Suzuki Jimny
- Attention grabber: Quirky styling, upright SUV stance, compact dimensions and bright exterior hues.
- Spacious enough for four adults.
- Ride comfort: Despite being a capable off-roader, offers good ride comfort in the city.
- Easy to drive: lightweight and amateur-friendly off-roader makes off-roading easy for amateurs.
- Boot space: Usable enough for airport runs, even with all the rows up.

Citroen C3 X
- Fewer automatic variants: No automatic options on offer with the naturally-aspirated petrol engine
Maruti Suzuki Jimny
- Cabin Practicality: Lacks basics like bottle holders in the doors and no seat back pockets.
- Engine performance: Adequate for the city, but feels underwhelming on a highway, especially with a full load.
