    Good driving  

    The visibility is very good and this car is wide with good comfortable seating and space. The pickup of turbo petrol engine is very good and the gearbox is very smooth and the acceleration is nice so the driving is very nice. I have a manual transmission system and the ease of driving this car is very nice and company make this car in the affordable side. The braking is good and the power is linear but not instant. The interior get nice and the fit and finish is very nice but get hard touch material due to price.

    intelligent innovation for you 

    Having driven the Citroen C3 Aircross in Delhi and Noida, I found its unique style and spacious cabin appealing, accommodating a family of four comfortably. However, its performance felt lackluster, especially in terms of acceleration and speed. The fuel efficiency was average, with mileage ranging around 12 km/litre in the city and 14 km/litre on the highway. Safety features like airbags and all-wheel drive add to its reliability. But the absence of a sunroof and limited sports mode options may disappoint some buyers. Overall, a decent choice for urban driving with room for improvement in performance

    Citroen C3 is a very stylish small car which is made for excellent day-to-day urban drive. Its compact size and nimble handling makes it easy to turn in tight corners, while its fuel-efficient engine delivers good mileage. The interior of the C3 is cozy and well-equipped. It has got a friendly infotainment system and lots of storage room. In addition, C3 is provided with several modern and safety systems like lane departure warning and automatic braking help keep passengers safe. Overall Citroen C3 is a sturdy and affordable car which suit perfectly for your daily driving.

    Amazing space and comfort 

    The strong feeling with this hatchback is confidence with look, space, comfort and drive experence that gives effortless performance especially on the highway. The Citroen C3 get a very decent cabin and the seats are very comfortable and get most powerful AC that i feel. The storage space is thoughtful and the visibiity is very high with high seating posiiton and both the seats are very spacious. The boot is also practical and the engine is also good for the trips and both the engine are very versatile and feel very smooth but the clutch is little heavy.

    Making big impact  

    Having driven the Citroen C3 around Mumbai and Pune, I appreciate its stylish design and comfortable interiors, ideal for a family of four. However, its performance falls short with sluggish acceleration and mediocre fuel efficiency, averaging 12 km/litre in the city and 14 km/litre on the highway. Despite lacking in sports mode and all-wheel drive, the car offers decent safety features like airbags. The lack of keyless entry and sunroof may disappoint some buyers. Overall, a decent option for city drives, but not the most economical choice

    This is the best family car 

    This is the best family car for a small family of 3-4 people.It's a great city car and can be taken on highways too with a experienced driver.It offers ton of features considering the price.Premium features like rear ac vent is available.Milage is also a good plus point and if you opt for the cng variant then the mileage the above 28km/kg.Fit and finish of the car is very good no complaints about build quality.The only department where it lack is the high-speed performance, It feels little bit unstable at speed above 110.Also i noticed minor vibrations on high speeds.After sale service of hundai is quite good i've no complaints about that.Overall i would say it's a great city car.
