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.
MG Hector
- Feels and looks premium inside and out
- Generous cabin space, comfortable for even taller passengers
- Loaded with good features like a 14-inch touchscreen, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof
- Safety kit boosted by the inclusion of ADAS
- A refined petrol engine with comfortable ride quality

Citroen C3
- No automatic options on offer with the naturally-aspirated petrol engine
- No CNG variants available.
MG Hector
- Its styling could seem too blingy to some buyers
- Has lost out on the mild-hybrid tech; still no diesel-auto combo
- Its electronics could have been more responsive
- Should have had better contoured seats and underthigh support at the rear
- Fuel efficiency of the petrol engine is still an issue
