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

awesome car

This car is in affordable price for middle class people.This car is very smooth you will enjoy riding it.Its millage is a bit less,but the way it drives you will love it.i recommend it the best car in this price.

Good car for those who looking for compact SUV segments

Very good deal, even in basic version we get almost all the feature, its a very comfortable front and rear rows sitting, build quality is also good since a ncap 4 rated car, coming to performance found little slow.

Citroen C3 1.2 Turbo Feel Road Test

By Bilal Ahmed Firfiray04 Jan 2023

The Citroen C3 has a tough task at hand. Has it got what it takes?

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.
