Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Citroen e-C3 X
- Easy to drive: Does not require a learning curve for first-time EV buyers
- Spacious and practical cabin: Good space for four 6-footers and plenty storage options
- Good range: Enough for city driving and some small trips
Hyundai Exter
- Design: Subtle updates like the new grille, alloys and wing-type spoiler keep the Exter looking fresh without losing its distinct identity
- Cabin: New dual-tone Navy & Grey theme, metal pedals and improved materials make the interior feel more premium and youthful
- Strong package with 6 airbags as standard, ESC, HAC and over 45 safety features for added peace of mind
- Spacious cabin, 391-litre boot and smart dual-cylinder CNG layout that retains usable luggage space
- Refinement: The only 4-cylinder engine in the segment delivers smoother and more refined performance than rivals

Citroen e-C3 X
- Limited performance: Does not provide an exciting driving experience
- Misses features: Does not get auto AC and push button start
- Hefty price: Huge premium over the standard C3
Hyundai Exter
