Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Citroen eC3
- Easy to drive for first-time car buyers
- Spacious and practical cabin
- Best driving range in its segment
Mahindra KUV 100 NXT
- Feature loaded: Daytime running lights, chilled glovebox, 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with steering mounted controls and ambient lights, etc.
- Space. Headroom and legroom at the rear are generous.
- Safety features. All variants get ABS with EBD as standard. Dual front airbags on all variants except the base K2.

Citroen eC3
- Does not provide an exciting driving experience
- Some basic features like powered ORVMs missing
- Huge premium over the standard C3
Mahindra KUV 100 NXT
- Not a real 6-seater. Front middle seat is cramped and unsafe to use.
- Looks. While better than, it may still come across a bit too quirky for some buyers.
- Average handling and noise insulation. Competitors like the Grand i10 and Ignis are better in these aspects
