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.

Good looking car with great features which are not required in a hatchback

Dear Hyundai i20 owners if you wish to purchase i20 then request you to wait for at least 6-8 months, the company will come out with offers, we can also get together and submit our request by writing to Hyundai directly or through carwale to reduce the cost. I know there are lot of i20 lovers who are not buying the car because of the high price and are looking for alternatives. therefore let us all come together.
