Citroen AircrossX in short

The AircrossX is the October 2025 refresh of the C3 Aircross, and at ₹8.89 lakh it is India's cheapest 7-seat SUV. It offers 5- and 7-seat layouts, 200 mm of ground clearance, a 444-litre boot in 5-seat form and the same 82 PS NA / 110 PS turbo 1.2 petrol pair as the BasaltX with 6-speed manual or torque-converter automatic. A 5-star Bharat NCAP adult-occupant rating and six standard airbags give it a safety edge over the Maruti Ertiga and Renault Triber it undercuts on the 7-seat count.

Toyota Taisor in short

The Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor is Toyota's take on the Maruti Fronx, a coupe-styled crossover that straddles the hatchback and compact SUV segments. Its highlight is the peppy 1.0 Boosterjet turbo-petrol with a proper six-speed torque-converter automatic, a rarity at this price. Against the Fronx, Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter, it offers sportier looks and Toyota's warranty advantage.
