Same money, which car?

Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.08L more for the Kiger Emotion: 360° camera, tyre pressure monitor and ventilated front seats. The useful extras on top: drive modes and rear parking camera. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Kiger Emotion: driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital), auto climate (single zone), auto headlamps and auto-folding wing mirrors, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Kiger Emotion, you give up all-wheel disc brakes, touchscreen (10.25" against 8") and headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector), which the XUV 3XO MX3 keeps
- Choose the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.08L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Renault Kiger Emotion if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
