Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Citroen eC3
- Easy to drive for first-time car buyers
- Spacious and practical cabin
- Best driving range in its segment
Tata Tigor EV
- 170-220 km of realistic range makes it a solid city commuter.
- 0-80% fast charge time of 65 minutes.
- Comfortable ride quality, soaks up undulations really well.
- Spacious cabin for four six-footers. Can seat five at a pinch.

Citroen eC3
- Does not provide an exciting driving experience
- Some basic features like powered ORVMs missing
- Huge premium over the standard C3
Tata Tigor EV
- Spare wheel placed in boot, reducing available space.
- Silly feature omissions: alloy wheels, leather-wrapped steering wheel, rear-adjustable headrests
- Interior quality, while acceptable for a sub-Rs 10 lakh Tigor, doesn’t feel up to the mark on a Rs 13 lakh Tigor EV
- Range / battery percentage read-outs could’ve been calibrated for more accuracy.
