                      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.

                        Tata Nexon

                        • Futuristic design with interesting details: LED daytime running lamps and tail lamps with animations, 16-inch alloy wheels, and full-LED headlamps. Gives it great road presence.
                        • Has every imaginable feature: panoramic sunroof, front seat ventilation, 360° camera, leatherette upholstery. Feels premium.
                        • Impressive infotainment package: 10.25-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch driver’s display and a brilliant JBL sound system.
                        • Available with petrol and diesel engines, both offered with automatic transmissions.
                      • Citroen C3

                        • No automatic options on offer with the naturally-aspirated petrol engine
                        • No CNG variants available.

                        Tata Nexon

                        • Interior storage space is poor. No cupholders, lack of space for phones/wallets hampers everyday usability.
                        • Fit and finish could be improved in the interior. Misaligned panels take away from the experience.
