That counts equipment we can put a rupee value on, at prices within ₹80,000 of each other. It is one input into the decision and not the whole of it — read the caveat below before treating it as a verdict.

What this comparison cannot tell you
- Nothing about how they drive. Ride, refinement, steering, seat comfort, visibility, boot practicality — none of it is here, and any of it might matter more to you than a longer feature list.
- Nothing about size or engine. A matched price can put a larger car's entry trim against a smaller car's top trim. Cabin space, boot, ground clearance and how much engine you get are not in these totals.
- Nothing about ownership. Service network reach, running costs, reliability record and resale value are real money and are not counted.
- Only equipment we track. Our list is incomplete, and thinnest at the bottom of a range where trims differ on many small items. Either car may be better equipped than this page suggests.
- A feature you don't want is worth nothing to you. The totals assume you want everything. Read the lists, not just the numbers.

Common questions
- Is the Maruti Swift or the Citroën C3X better value?
- On the equipment we can put a price on, the Maruti Swift leads at 3 of the 5 matching price points, with 2 too close to call. That measures kit per rupee and nothing else — it is not a verdict on how either car drives.
- What is the closest Citroën C3X to the Maruti Swift ZXi+ 1.2 Petrol MT?
- The Citroën C3X Shine 1.2 Petrol MT at ₹7,86,000, against ₹8,28,900 — a difference of ₹42,900 ex-showroom.
- Does this account for how the cars drive?
- No. This page compares equipment and price only. Ride quality, engine refinement, seat comfort, service network, resale and how the car feels to you are not in it, and for many buyers one of those decides the purchase.
