Comparison: Citroën DS3 1.6 HDi 110 CV and Fiat Punto EVO 1.6 MTJ 120 CV

For a few days we are going to pause our road tests to focus on a comparison, and today I want to introduce our two vehicles that Highmotor has put to the test.

At first glance the DS3 is a car that is compared more with the Mini or the Alfa Romeo MiTo, but in reality the Citroën DS3 and the Fiat Punto Evo have more in common than you might think, and the Highmotor Test Team thought it could be an interesting comparison for those looking for a youthful, diesel vehicle with medium but sufficient power to enjoy driving, priced around 20,000 euros.

On one hand we have the DS3 with a 1.6 HDi diesel engine producing 110 CV, measuring 3.94 metres long and priced at 20,540 euros. On the other end we have the Punto EVO with a 1.6 Multijet diesel engine producing 120 CV, measuring 4.07 metres long and with a starting price of 19,250 euros.

During the test we will try to see which arguments each of our two vehicles rests on, and which ones they stand out in, so that in the end you can have a clearly differentiated idea of what one vehicle offers and what the other offers, because at the end of the day, the final decision is always yours.
