Pros & Cons

C3 X Pros & Cons	Exter Pros & Cons	Punch EV Pros & Cons

Cons	The cost-cutting measures are noticeable within the cabin There is no option for an automatic transmission The top-spec variant is priced at Rs 9 lakh (ex-showroom), which is relatively high for its segment The integrated headrests are not ergonomically comfortable The cabin width accommodates four adults comfortably, but fitting five people might be uncomfortable The limited availability of service centers and dealer networks poses a concern for long-term reliability	The sharp lines and curves might not look pleasing to everyone It does not offer an option of either a turbo petrol or a diesel engine The rear row offers good legroom but the under-thigh support is not sufficient The 1.2-litre NA petrol engine is not much fun to drive on highways The cabin only offers an option of a black interior It misses on some features such as auto-dimming IRVM, 6-speaker music system, and split rear seat among others	-
