Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.83L more for the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater: the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater runs the turbo engine and the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater shifts itself while the other is a manual. It also adds 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 7"), speakers (6 against 4), driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital) and third-row AC vents, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater, you give up panoramic sunroof, connected car tech and rear parking camera, which the Victoris ZXi (O) keeps
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki Victoris ZXi (O) if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.83L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Citroen AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater if
- You live on your phone in the car and want the screens to keep up
