Our verdict

These two split the decision: the Citroën C3 is रु 10,47,000 cheaper ex-showroom (28.7%), while the Hyundai Exter is ahead on dealer and service reach — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the Citroën C3 if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
Choose the Hyundai Exter if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 28 more service centres in Nepal (35 vs 7); 75 more showrooms in Nepal (81 vs 6).

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.

What we have actually checked

Each is a dated change we applied to a published ex-showroom price after checking it. A logged change may be a distributor's revision or our own correction coming into line with the official figure — the log says which way each one moved, and when, not why.
