Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Citroen C5 Aircross
- Quirky styling makes it stand out
- Feels and looks premium inside and out
- Most comfortable SUV of the lot
- Smooth gearbox and powerful diesel engine
- Gets updated features including a 10-inch touchscreen and wireless phone charging
Mahindra BE 6
- Stand-out styling that can pull attention away from supercars
- Two battery pack options with an estimated real world range of 400-500km.
- Superb infotainment experience: dual 12.3” screens, Harman/Kardon Audio on offer.
- The strong safety suite includes well-calibrated L2 ADAS. Works well in Indian conditions.

Citroen C5 Aircross
- No petrol engine or 4x4 option
- It’s a costly affair
- Misses segment must-haves like ventilated front seats and a 360-degree camera
Mahindra BE 6
- Rear seat headroom for tall users and outward visibility for short users could have been better
- Styling is very polarising and may be too over-the-top for some in your family
