Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Citroen C5 Aircross
- Quirky styling: Has a stand out design that grabs attention
- Premium inside and out: The design and cabin materials makes it feel upmarket
- Keeps you comfortable: Most plush ride quality in its segment
- Good drivability: Smooth gearbox and powerful diesel engine makes drives enjoyable
- Good features: Gets a 10-inch touchscreen and wireless phone charging
Mahindra XEV 9e
- Two battery pack options with an estimated real-world range of 400-500km and 175kW DC fast charging compatibility feels reassuring on long road trips
- The strong safety suite includes well-calibrated L2 ADAS. Works well in Indian conditions and very useful in low visibility situations
- Performance: Smooth for regular usage and punchy on highways
- Feature-rich: Triple 12.3-inch displays, 16-speaker Harman/Kardon audio, auto park, and powered and ventilated front seats

Citroen C5 Aircross
- Limited powertrains: No petrol engine or 4x4 option
- Feels expensive: It’s a costly affair considering the package you get
- Misses segment must-haves: Does not get ventilated front seats and a 360-degree camera
Mahindra XEV 9e
- Rear seat experience could be better: Sloping roofline limits headroom and under thigh support feels less for tall people
