Same money, which car?
Take ₹14.52L to both showrooms and you come out with the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater at ₹14.52L or the Elevate VX at ₹13.96L, the Elevate leaving ₹0.56L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.56L more for the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater: the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater runs the turbo engine, the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater shifts itself while the other is a manual and about 180 km further between fill-ups, at 17.6 km/l against 15.3 km/l. It also adds tyre pressure monitor and ventilated front seats. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater: touchscreen (10.25" against 8"), third-row AC vents and leatherette upholstery, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater, you give up blind spot monitor, single-pane sunroof and connected car tech, which the Elevate VX keeps
- Choose the Honda Elevate VX if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.56L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Citroen AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
