Better look

Better look Best price Good performance Low service cost and maintenance All features available in this car and the milage is 26.8 That's why I drive about 150km Go for it must buy.

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.

Citroen C3 Live 1.2 Petrol

Looks are stunning at this price range. Suspension is awesome. The second servicing was done recently. The base variant does not have a central locking feature. I got it installed in the aftermarket. Engine performance is also good. Mileage is around 19 With AC and Four passengers
