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.
Maruti Jimny
- Looks quirky with its upright stance, compact dimensions and fun colours
- Spacious for four people
- Ride comfort is well-tuned for city duties despite being a capable off-roader
- Lightweight and amateur-friendly off-roader that'll keep seasoned off-road drivers happy too
- Boot space is usable for suitcases even with all seats up

Citroen C3
- No automatic options on offer with the naturally-aspirated petrol engine
- No CNG variants available.
Maruti Jimny
- Lacks cabin practicality like storage spaces and bottle holders
- Engine performance is underwhelming with a full load
