Citroen C3X vs Toyota Glanza: which should you buy?
The Citroen C3X starts at ₹4.99L against the Toyota Glanza's ₹6.73L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹1.74L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹9.68L, where the C3X tops out. Past that only the Glanza has anything left to sell you, up to ₹9.99L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the C3X comes in petrol, the Glanza in petrol and CNG.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹9.68L to both showrooms and you come out with the C3X Turbo Shine at ₹9.68L or the Glanza G at ₹9.53L, the Glanza leaving ₹0.15L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.15L more for the C3X Turbo Shine: tyre pressure monitor. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (10.25" against 7") and wireless CarPlay / Android Auto. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The C3X Turbo Shine is the strongest of the two at 110 PS
- Also on the C3X Turbo Shine: driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital) and auto-folding wing mirrors, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the C3X Turbo Shine, you give up connected car tech, rear parking camera and speakers (6 against 4), which the Glanza G keeps
- Choose the Toyota Glanza G if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.15L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Citroen C3X Turbo Shine if
- You live on your phone in the car and want the screens to keep up
