Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Citroen eC3
- 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
Tata Tiago EV
- Compact size and instant performance makes it easy to find the small gaps in slow city traffic
- Wide opening doors and neutral seat height makes for convenient ingress and egress
- Features like keyless entry with push-button start stop and automatic AC, ORVMs, and rain sensing wipers add to the convenience factor
- 10.25-inch touchscreen has wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay: Good response time and offers a sharp resolution
- Good space management: Can fit a 5’10’’ person behind another with space to spare
- Performance: Electric performance feels quick up to 60kmph and regenerative braking reduces the need to brake physically
- Adequate range: Real-world range of 200km with the bigger battery pack is enough for city and even short inter-city commutes
- Ride comfort: Feels comfortable over potholes and remains stable at highway speeds

Citroen eC3
- 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
Tata Tiago EV
- Paddle shifters are a miss: Using buttons on the dashboard to change regenerative braking settings requires active focus while driving and isn’t intuitive at all
- Charging capacity: maximum charging speed of 18kW feels slow for a quick top up on the highway
- Missing features: Rear AC vents, a bigger digital driver’s display and a better sound system should’ve been offered at the price
- Doesn’t pack six airbags even in the top-spec variant
