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.

We love the Swift in the city. Its small size, its agility, its good low and mid-range torque, and consistently high fuel efficiency make it a darling for daily commutes.
