Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Citroen eC3

Easy to drive for first-time car buyers
Spacious and practical cabin
Best driving range in its segment

Hyundai Venue

Updated styling makes the Venue look more butch and upmarket.
Dual-tone interior is classy, good quality of materials in the cabin too.
Powered driver’s seat, Alexa/Google Home connectivity, Digital driver’s display added to an already expansive feature list.
1.2 Petrol, 1.5 Diesel, 1.0 Turbo - plenty of engine options to choose from.

Citroen eC3

Does not provide an exciting driving experience
Some basic features like powered ORVMs missing
Huge premium over the standard C3

Hyundai Venue

No diesel-automatic or CNG powertrain on offer.
Narrow cabin means the Venue is still best suited for four.
Silly feature omissions like auto day/night IRVM and powered seat height adjustment
