    Hyundai Exter and Citroen C3 compared: What’s different?

    The mid-size SUV segment is currently the hot-selling segment in the country, particularly among those who prefer to travel long distances with comfort. To fulfil this demand, manufacturers are operating at full blast to bring alluring products to the Indian market. One of them is the South Korean automaker, Hyundai, who recently launched the Exter in the country at a starting price of Rs. 6 lakh (ex-showroom). In this article, we compare the sub-four-meter SUV with one of its rivals, the Citroen C3, and see how these two fare against each other in their respective segments.
