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.

Citroen eC3 Electric First Drive Review

Hyundai i20 Active

By Selvin Jose27 Mar 2015

Ease of driving, convenient dimensions and good fuel economy make hatchbacks a sensible purchase for an urban dweller and we may attribute a certain percentage of hatchback sales primarily for the above mentioned requirements. But, the humble hatchback might not be on everyone’s shopping list. For people with money to spend, they might just opt for a sedan or an SUV, and now we also have to take into account the new “in things” – crossovers. Still, if a large crossover doesn’t figure on someone’s list, they might just settle for the next best segment. Now, we have another segment that has reared its head - the hatchback-based crossover. This segment is still in its nappies and currently there are only three cars in this segment – Fiat Avventura, Toyota Etios Cross and VW Cross Polo.
