Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Citroen C3 X
- Quirky styling: Grabs eyeballs and has lots of customisation options.
- Roomy cabin: Offers good space for two 6-footers to sit behind two 6-footers
- Keeps you cool: Air-conditioning is super strong and chills you in no time
- Comfortable and confident: Offers a plush ride quality over a variety of roads and remains stable at highway speeds too
Maruti Suzuki S-Presso
- Spacious cabin: Can seat six-footers back to back comfortably.
- Good city performance: Feels peppy and easy to drive.
- Enough boot space: 270-litres is enough for two cabin-sized overnighter bags and some laptop bags.
- AMT transmission feels smooth as long as you drive in a relaxed manner.
- Super efficient in the city: Has a claimed fuel efficiency of up to 25.30kmpl with the petrol and 32.73km/kg with the CNG.

Citroen C3 X
- Fewer automatic variants: No automatic options on offer with the naturally-aspirated petrol engine
Maruti Suzuki S-Presso
- Misses functional features like a rear view camera, day/night inside mirror and powered ORVMs.
- Design is a hit or miss: SUV stance and cladding feels try-hard.
