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.
Nissan Magnite
- Use of soft touch leatherette padding on all touch points makes the cabin feel a lot more premium
- Safety kit has been improved by the availability of 6 airbags from the base-spec variant
- It has one of the best performing CVTs under Rs 10 lakh
- In its segment, it has one of the most spacious rear seats

Citroen C3
- No automatic options on offer with the naturally-aspirated petrol engine
- No CNG variants available.
Nissan Magnite
- Turbo-petrol engine is not so refined which results in vibrations that can be felt in the footwell, on the steering wheel, and on the seats
- While the leatherette padding makes the cabin feel more premium, the flimsy AC knobs, and panel gaps have a negative impact on the overall cabin experience
- The feature list still feels pretty small and no major additions were made with the facelift
- The 360-degree camera has a grainy feed which is very hard to see in low light conditions
