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 Thar ROXX
- Unmistakable road presence - stands tall over all other family SUVs.
- Premium interiors - leatherette upholstery and soft touch dashboard and door pads.
- Very sensible and rich feature package including ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, dual displays and ADAS level 2.
- Refined and powerful engine options. The SUV will not feel underpowered - no matter the situation.
- Lots of variant and powertrain options including a lot of city specific RWD options.
- Very well equipped base variant with 6 airbags, LED lights, touchscreen, rear AC vents, four-speaker sound system, height adjustable driver’s seat and remote locking and unlocking.
- Boot space is better than most compact SUVs.

Citroen eC3
- Does not provide an exciting driving experience
- Some basic features like powered ORVMs missing
- Huge premium over the standard C3
Mahindra Thar ROXX
- Ride comfort is still a problem. It tosses you side to side on bad roads.
- Efficiency is low, even in the RWD variants. Expect under 10 kmpl with petrol and under 12 kmpl with diesel automatics.
- White interiors - especially the fabric roof gets dirty easily and won't be easy to clean. The leatherette seats are easier to manage.
