Citroen eC3 Vs Hyundai i20 FAQs

The Citroën eC3 is priced from about ₹12.84 lakh ex-showroom for the Live variant, going up to around ₹13.54 lakh for the Feel Dual-Tone Vibe Pack.

The Citroën eC3 is a smart buy if you’re tired of rising petrol bills and want an EV that’s practical for Indian roads. It gives you around 10.9 km per kWh, which means less than ₹1 per km running cost. For daily city drives, that’s unbeatable value. Add to that its 320 km claimed range, compact dimensions for urban traffic, and a design that doesn’t scream “cheap EV,” and you have a car that balances early adopter cool with real-world usability.

The eC3 runs on a 29.2 kWh battery, with an electric motor producing about 57 PS (≈56-57 bhp) and 143 Nm torque. Its top speed is ~107 km/h. The claimed range is 320 km on a full charge (ARAI) under ideal conditions.

Using a standard 15-amp home charger it takes about 10 to 10½ hours (from 10-100%). If you use a DC fast charger the time from ~10-80% drops to approximately 57 minutes.

The eC3 is 3,981 mm in length, 1,733 mm wide, and ≈ 1,586-1604 mm tall depending on variant/roof rails. Wheelbase is 2,540 mm, ground clearance is about 170 mm, and kerb weight ≈ 1,316 kg. Boot space is 315 litres.

Claimed: 10.9 km/kWh Standard electricity cost we’re using: ₹9 per unit (kWh) So, 1 kWh → 10.9 km Cost of 1 kWh = ₹9 Cost per km = ₹9 ÷ 10.9 = ₹0.83 per km That means running the eC3 costs less than one rupee per km, which is cheaper than taking a shared auto in many Indian cities. So, a full tank of “electric juice” for the eC3 will set you back just ₹263, while a petrol hatchback would burn through more than ₹1,500 for the same distance.

The eC3 comes with: 1. Battery warranty: 7 years or 1.4 lakh km (whichever earlier) 2. Electric motor warranty: 5 years or 1 lakh km 3. Vehicle warranty: 3 years or 1.25 lakh km This long coverage is important because EV buyers worry about battery life. Citroën makes it clear: the eC3’s battery is designed to outlast your EMI cycle.

Resale is the big unknown in EVs today, but with fuel prices climbing and more charging stations appearing, early adopters will find good demand in 3–5 years. The warranty cushions you against big-ticket repair risks, so you’re not gambling your money.

The Hyundai i20 price in India ranges from ₹7.51 lakh to ₹11.35 lakh (ex-showroom) depending on the variant and transmission type.

The Hyundai i20 latest version comes with a 1.2-litre Kappa petrol engine (1197 cc). Fuel efficiency (ARAI / claimed) is between ≈ 19 to 20.35 km per litre, depending on variant.

The Hyundai i20 has overall dimensions of 3,995 mm in length × 1,775 mm in width × 1,505 mm in height. Wheelbase is 2,580 mm.

Ground clearance is 170 mm, which helps with potholes and speed breakers. Boot space is 311 litres, enough for a week’s worth of luggage for 3-4 people or several large suitcases. Fuel tank capacity is 37 litres.

Assuming fuel price = ₹102 per litre, and mileage ≈ 19 kmpl (mid variants), the running cost is ≈₹5.37 per km.

If you want a hatchback that feels premium, drives well on highways and city both, offers comfort, boot space, good looks, and safety, then i20 is for you. Young professionals, small families, buyers who want hatchback efficiency but want more style & features than budget models.
