Most Helpful Review

Nice pricing

Looks are decent in competition to curvv pricing is better And Citroen is one of the best brand famous for its comfort let's hope for the best in how it performs in this Indian market.

Citroen EC3 Value for money

Citroen needs to work on its application and also needs to have its own charging infrastructure like TATA to compete in this segment. Work on features, and introduce new features.
