The seats by themselves are comfortable, even for those with larger frames. We particularly like the amount of width on offer - it’s unlikely you’ll be brushing shoulders with your co-driver. You wouldn’t feel cramped in the front seats even if you’re a six-footer. The dashboard is narrow and upright, liberating more room for the front occupants.

It can go shoulder to shoulder with the likes of the Magnite and Kiger too. In terms of size, the Citroen C3 looks like a powerlifter compared to hatchbacks like the Celerio, WagonR and Tiago.
