I want to make it clear that this comment is genuinely from the heart and not meant to sound overly flattering or paid. As someone with extensive experience in the automotive field, I was still eagerly awaiting your review of the Basalt Citron variant on V3 Cars’ channel. The level of detail and analysis you provide is truly exceptional. I even asked the dealer to hold off on calls until I could see your video, as your insights are crucial for my decision-making. Now that I’ve seen your review, I'll be telling the dealer to reach out again in a few months when there’s a potential discount of ₹1 lakh or ₹1.2 lakh on this vehicle. I’ll consider purchasing then to ensure the value proposition is right. Keep up the fantastic work!
These videos, you should just refer to. Not use it as is to make decisions. At the start he mentioned that the base variant came to be 1lac cheaper than expected. So, that way we can see that the top variants are actually reasonable at VFM. Again, there are competitors to look at, Hyundai Kia Tata have delivered success but would definitely be costlier as compared to Citroen. (but Citroen takes a hit in terms of presence in India)
Astor Base variant has all must have features available at just 9.99 lakhs with 5 star safety with premium interior, I urge everyone to take test drive of it. Cons: Since heavy car and NA engine, it may be slightly underpowered in highway. Mileage might be lesser. I see that most of Citroen viewers look for VFM and Astor base variant just does that. Even if you consider Citroen family, the bigger C3 Aircross is cheaper and has option of 7 seats. I guess its also offered with discounts. Barring the VFM base variant and top variant which get some extra features over AIrcross, for all others Aircross is a better car for money spent
Your VFM % is dependent on the price of the base variant of every car, right? So, let's say if Basalt base variant was priced one or two lakh rupees more than the current base price, and if the top two variants had the same price then the VFM % for the top two would automatically get increased. So, I think it's better to directly compare the top variant of the Basalt Manual and Automatic with other manufacturer's similar respective priced C segment SUVs like base variant of Elevate, Kushaq, Astor, etc. to get a better idea of which is easier on pocket after 5 years of ownership.
agreed. but this algo has worked well for most cars. manufacturers also need to know something. That they can't price their base variant too aggressive creating lot of demand and then upsell higher variants. for which, we can't justify the cost of upgrade over the base trim. this sets the customer up for disappointment. if they priced it at 9 lakh, then they wouldn't benefit from the huge hype around the car. if customers are walking in with an expectation of 7.99 lakh for base, they have a certain range of how much they may have to further spend for higher variant. basalt pricing creates huge gap in expectation vs reality

base bahut khali hai. although, someone like me can live with it as I first and foremost buys the engine-transmission-chassis and then come the features and body type.
Citroen should have done pricing correctly. Just 3 varients, they should look at TaTa and understand that customer are looking for value. Make 6-7 variants and give customer choice to decide what to buy. It’s like pushing everyone to buy Top variant for must have features.
I seriously don't understand why they didn't give cruise control. It's a must have feature. I regularly travel on highway and cruise control helps a lot. Without cruise control its not worth considering for me.

@@athuldominic in our tests, astor turbo is more fuel efficient than aircross turbo in the city. astor non-turbo can't be so much more thirstier than turbo. 7 must be when somebody is keeping the car over 4000rpm all the time. for regular driving, even in pretty horrible city traffic of delhi, i don't think i can even get it so low. fuel efficiency becomes a problem when you can't improve it even after trying everything and being as gentle with it as possible. in my driving, astor non-turbo manual gave me between 12 and 15. closer to 12 when i was getting stuck in city and closer to 15 when it was more highway with minimal traffic along the way. i have no idea how the person in whatever forum is driving and getting 7kmpl.
Seems to be a great offer. I have driven c3aircross and it drives with great. Better than most compact suv like creat, seltos etc. So basalt is expected to be better. Only question is mileage and reliability. Can you please do a realistic city mileage test and highway performance test? Time will speak about reliability.
there are some options. but it's best when the higher variant has the cruise control and you install the same in lower variant. becaus all the code and logic is there even in the base variant only the hardware is missing.
If I wish to buy Basalt only and that too the top variant in manual then is it worth buying in this price range??? Any suggestions as which car would be a better option considering the size, space and safety with some important and good to have features??
Top end Basalt goes for 15-16lakhs on road..at this price you get Creta S, Seltos, Nexon Creative Plus, Brezza ZXI Plus, mid variants of slavia, virtus, kushaq, Taigun, Vitara Delta plus...much better and reliable cars...dont spend more than 12lakhs on Basalt...lack of keyless entry, push start and cruise control, old door handle, Plus low service network doesnt justify 15L+
Budget people goes to C3 second top feel. with naturally Aspirated engine below 8 l on road. i own before 20 days with avg. aprox 19 km/l. excellent engine with good suspension.
I think it will be unwise to spend more than 12-13lakhs on an untested product from an untested brand with respect to Indian conditions....1.2 NA Plus is the best variant...under 12lakhs on road with a bit of accessories.... 13-15lakhs you anyways get good variants of Brezza and Nexon with features and better safety or the 2nd base variants of creta, seltos...On road 13L+ on basalt is overpending....you are missing out on features, unsure about service, safety, reliability and resale too...why spend so much on this when you already have tried and tested products in the market!
17 tak thik hai. usse jada mat karna. you'll compromise a little on side profile. possibly on mileage also. 17 will give smaller side profile and have higher rotating mass.
Hi sir, 7.99 is an introductory price. In case they change or rather increase this, then the VFM% will vary. you will also revise the your recommendation?? Nice video explaination!
I was seriously considering buying Top Max AT model of basalt, but after watching this video, i am confused if i am getting real value for my money. Can you please suggest your best Automatic recommendation at 12 Lakhs ex-showroom price, apart from Venue( i already own it). 🙏🏾
their VFM data is based on price of base variant which is introductory and priced way too aggressively. Top Max AT is VFM compared to the engine and comfort offered by cars in the segment. Only cruise control is missing

Is Citroen gonna stick in Indian market with solid future plans or will flee like in Australia.
Hello V3 cars. Can you please make a video on car strengths across various metrics (like boot space, reliability, safety, family oriented etc.) and calculate an ideal use case scenario among various price bands? For example family car (meaning ride comfort)with ample boot space under 15L. Or daily commuter car for city traffic and office under 10L and such. And also rate various top selling models according to such a metric. Thank you.
that's a very difficult task. even our feature related recommendations, which has proven mass acceptance continues to receive backlash from some viewers. what you're asking is very subjective. we'll need a lot of time to think over these problems before we can formulate and tweak the algos, which give consistently good results that are applicable for most buyers.
The top model should be down by 1 lakh, the price is justified if there are ventilated seats and sunroof. Although the sunroof is not for a practical people like me but top model should have these two features to fight in the indian market with no price change. Also i didn't like the jump from 8 lakh to 10 lakh from base to next variant. This is a very practicle car and believe me indians will buy it anyday if the top model comes with a sunroof and ventilated seats. Curvv ka band baj jata but as always they don't understand indian market. For me I am okay with No sunroof + old school handel + less ground clearence + no ventilated seats. Still ab ban gyi hai car to 1 lakh sasti kar dena chaiye top model me and ek extra varient with sunroof + ventilated seats + 200 mm ground clearence ke sath launch karna chaiye. With the same price of top model.
As a viewer, I consider myself spoilt by your presentations and would like to see a video from you guys on the following topics: 1. Most VFM Car under Rs.10Lakhs/ 12Lakhs/ 15Lakhs 2. Most VFM sub 4mtr SUV/ pseudo SUV/ Sedan under Rs.10Lakhs/ 12Lakhs 15Lakhs Thank you in advance.
agar aap aur kisi car ka base model 8-10 saal own kar chuke ho bina features ya new car ki khujli paida hue, toh phir le sakte ho. nahi toh kuch saal mein features ki kami feel hone lag jayegi. main personally, le sakta hu because i don't even want music system in car. just some very basic features like day/night mirror, height-adjustable driver seat, remote central locking, tpms, rear parcel tray, internally adjustable outside mirrors ... and ... i'm set. most of these things you can get installed after purchase also.
@@abhishekanand5070 bro I didn’t mention any gimmicky feature .in 2024 if a car launched with these issues , I am not sure what to do? It is among the lowest height , length As well. This escaping route of these brands stating higher tax is lame logic now a days .
thinking that they will announce the base price and get a lot of bookings, then quietly slip the full price list while the media are busy with roxx, curvv drive and review, so that people don't know that the hype and price of variant worth buying are very different.
I still don't find the base variant value for money. Why?, coz the only cost increasing factor is that this car is not a sub 4M car, so the taxes are more. And cost decreasing factors are 1.2 L, 3 cylinder engine, fixed headrest, rear power windows, no central locking. Brezza LXI, ciaz Sigma new Dzire are not far off. A corrective price of Rs. 7.25 would be great.
bhaiya, dzire se around 15% extra tax de rahi hai yeh gaadi. creta size ka maal hai swift ke daam mein. thode accessory laga lo toh tashan pura milega saste mein.

@@niranjanskulkarni cng pe bhi efficiency kam hi milegi. e.g. dzire cng has about 20% advantage in fuel costs over tigor cng in ARAI numbers. real-world, we know that maruti numbers don't deviate all that much from arai. so the difference over tigor will be much bigger. moreover, tata know how to make somewhat efficient engines. citroen ka most likely city traffic mein single digit mileage hai. cng won't help much. in fact, the cabbies will end up wasting time at the filling station because of less range. Time, which they should have been spending driving and making money. cng range and low efficiency (compared to segment benchmark) make this a poor choice for a cab. hotels can use it for highway use but they don't use it as means to make money. it's just a convenience thing for their guests.

3 cylinder engine at that price makes no sense. It will never have the smoothness of a 4-cylinder. To compensate they have added turbo to it, which is more prone to failures than a 4-cylinder NA engine given by Honda and Hyundai. Not even 360 ° camera is there in the top version.

Jaldi hi yeh car top 10 least selling cars mai aa jayegi because of price... Citroen should learn from Nisaan on how to set price to attract Indian buyers.
Is Citroen gonna stick in Indian market with solid future plans or will flee like in Australia.
pata nahi. kuch saal toh hai yeh yaha par.
Hello V3 cars. Can you please make a video on car strengths across various metrics (like boot space, reliability, safety, family oriented etc.) and calculate an ideal use case scenario among various price bands? For example family car (meaning ride comfort)with ample boot space under 15L. Or daily commuter car for city traffic and office under 10L and such. And also rate various top selling models according to such a metric.
Thank you.
that's a very difficult task. even our feature related recommendations, which has proven mass acceptance continues to receive backlash from some viewers. what you're asking is very subjective. we'll need a lot of time to think over these problems before we can formulate and tweak the algos, which give consistently good results that are applicable for most buyers.
@@maheshy1 Thank you sir for considering.

Tata Curv petrol variants and features according to variants explain a video bro
the top variant of basalt is almost the same as thar roxx base variants
yup. 1 lakh cost kam rakhte toh acha price separation ho jata roxx se
The top model should be down by 1 lakh, the price is justified if there are ventilated seats and sunroof. Although the sunroof is not for a practical people like me but top model should have these two features to fight in the indian market with no price change.
Also i didn't like the jump from 8 lakh to 10 lakh from base to next variant. This is a very practicle car and believe me indians will buy it anyday if the top model comes with a sunroof and ventilated seats. Curvv ka band baj jata but as always they don't understand indian market.
For me I am okay with No sunroof + old school handel + less ground clearence + no ventilated seats. Still ab ban gyi hai car to 1 lakh sasti kar dena chaiye top model me and ek extra varient with sunroof + ventilated seats + 200 mm ground clearence ke sath launch karna chaiye. With the same price of top model.
As a viewer, I consider myself spoilt by your presentations and would like to see a video from you guys on the following topics:
1. Most VFM Car under Rs.10Lakhs/ 12Lakhs/ 15Lakhs
2. Most VFM sub 4mtr SUV/ pseudo SUV/ Sedan under Rs.10Lakhs/ 12Lakhs 15Lakhs
Thank you in advance.
That is a great suggestion

Base model ko 15 saal ke liye lena sahi rahega kya...?
agar aap aur kisi car ka base model 8-10 saal own kar chuke ho bina features ya new car ki khujli paida hue, toh phir le sakte ho.
nahi toh kuch saal mein features ki kami feel hone lag jayegi.
main personally, le sakta hu because i don't even want music system in car. just some very basic features like day/night mirror, height-adjustable driver seat, remote central locking, tpms, rear parcel tray, internally adjustable outside mirrors ... and ... i'm set. most of these things you can get installed after purchase also.
One who likes the category should go for Base variant Or wait for Tata Curvv launch.
right
I think only base model is ok to buy but in this price no rear power window , no remote lock not sure citroen is thinking.
Look at the size of the car. Cars above 4m are taxed higher.
@@abhishekanand5070 bro I didn’t mention any gimmicky feature .in 2024 if a car launched with these issues , I am not sure what to do?
It is among the lowest height , length As well. This escaping route of these brands stating higher tax is lame logic now a days .
thinking that they will announce the base price and get a lot of bookings, then quietly slip the full price list while the media are busy with roxx, curvv drive and review, so that people don't know that the hype and price of variant worth buying are very different.
Which company, toyata,maruti Hyundai
May be better than Curvv, as you always have to go to service center with tata cars its a good buy of basalt
Wait for Nov/Dec discounts.. inventory will pile up soon..too many cars in market
Yup. It looks like that will happen.
What about safety of this car? Citroen c3 scored zero stars in NCAP, right?
You guys still haven't figured out audio quality😅
Top model AT will be a good purchase when they start offering a 2 lakh discount after 1 year.
2 tak pata nahi discount ayega kya. lekin 50k tak ka year end mein aa jayega lag raha hai.

Basalt ka 1.2 NA engine 4 cylinder hai sir...
kab se?
Cruise control/ Telescopic Steering/ keyless entry to hona chahiye tha yaar
Why no video timeline ? We are Not happy with your latest videos
Difficult to understand previously it was good
I still don't find the base variant value for money. Why?, coz the only cost increasing factor is that this car is not a sub 4M car, so the taxes are more. And cost decreasing factors are 1.2 L, 3 cylinder engine, fixed headrest, rear power windows, no central locking. Brezza LXI, ciaz Sigma new Dzire are not far off. A corrective price of Rs. 7.25 would be great.
bhaiya, dzire se around 15% extra tax de rahi hai yeh gaadi. creta size ka maal hai swift ke daam mein. thode accessory laga lo toh tashan pura milega saste mein.
@@maheshy1 sirji brezza LXI bhi small car catagory mein nahi aati. 8.40 mein bhi . 1.5L 4 cylinder engine, all 4 power windows, electrically adjustable rear view mirror de rahe hai. Koi bhi car perfect nahi hoti. Uske bhi rear headrest nahi hai. Bohot hairani wali baat hai. Ab kya hi kehna Citroen ke baare mein. Australia se exit ho chuki hai. Sir mere pass 2 Chevrolet aur 1 Ford hai. Exit hone ke bad effects aur takleef bohot hoti hai.
@@maheshy1 What are my best option in terms accessories if I go for the base variant and how much can it be upgraded through accessories!
@@clashwithpun7796
remote central locking - 3-5k
tpms - 3-4k
day/night inside mirror - 2-3k
music system - 10-20k
rear parcel tray - 2-3k
fog lamps - 1-3k
leather steering - 1-3k
later upgrades from higher variant (after 5 years):
centre console with front armrest and rear AC vents
rear backrest (with centre armrest and adjustable wing rear headrests)
projector headlamps
height-adjustable driver seat
@@clashwithpun7796
i replied earlier but i think google removed it assuming it was a spam
recommendations at time of purchase:
remote central locking
tpms
rear parcel tray
music system
after 5-7 years:
centre console from top varinat with front armrest and rear AC vents
rear seat backrest with rear armrest
adjustable wing headrests from top variant
At least cruise control should be on the top variant.
It’s good for cab business.
cab ko mileage, reliability aur low maintenance chahiye. these are not the strengths of this car.
@@maheshy1 that’s why CNG
@@niranjanskulkarni cng pe bhi efficiency kam hi milegi.
e.g. dzire cng has about 20% advantage in fuel costs over tigor cng in ARAI numbers.
real-world, we know that maruti numbers don't deviate all that much from arai. so the difference over tigor will be much bigger.
moreover, tata know how to make somewhat efficient engines.
citroen ka most likely city traffic mein single digit mileage hai. cng won't help much. in fact, the cabbies will end up wasting time at the filling station because of less range. Time, which they should have been spending driving and making money.
cng range and low efficiency (compared to segment benchmark) make this a poor choice for a cab.
hotels can use it for highway use but they don't use it as means to make money. it's just a convenience thing for their guests.
Where is the main guy who explains?

plus mein 85k ke features ke liye 2 lakh maang rahe hain yeh. 1 lakh mein turbo nahi denge. 7.99 is just to get you thinkin about this car. dealership par woh mid turbo ya top variant hi bechne ke liye pressure karenge. ya phir relatively overpriced mid non-turbo
@@maheshy1 exactly sir.U said it right. Inko base mai turbo dena chahiye paise badhake.Accesories to baad mai bhi lag skti hai. Harr koi turbo ke liye mid variant nhi le skta
3 cylinder engine at that price makes no sense. It will never have the smoothness of a 4-cylinder.
To compensate they have added turbo to it, which is more prone to failures than a 4-cylinder NA engine given by Honda and Hyundai.
Not even 360 ° camera is there in the top version.
maruti also going towards 3 cyl. swift now gets 3cyl 1.2 instead of 1.2 4cyl. gradually, this will replace all 1.2 4cyl in marti's portfolio
@@maheshy1 Hyundai has 4 cylinder. That's why it's the best option

The varients distribution is outright foolish. Top varient is the only car that's considerable. But around 12.5 lakhs ex- showroom you get better alternatives.
exactly, the base price skews everything. it sets expectations but the top model final pricing doesn't meet those expectations.
Companies think they can dump anything in india and it will sell 😂
Bhai sab kuch theek lga but sirf 1k hi cheej dekh k Sahi nai lga wo ye k bhai itne pese hmate kam se kam screen guard hi dalwalo Fon me😂😂
Its really foolish to compare all prices with base variant price, every one knows its just for adds.

Bewakoofi features based on turbo many like na but due to it many will go away
hain?!?!
@@maheshy1 yes if top features are given in turbo variant but not in na variant then many wont move towards it as there are many who prefer na over turbo engine
@@psen.9659 oh! yes. right
mid non turbo should have had same features as mid turbo. reserving features for turbo, which have no relevance to engine or performance is just plain stupid.
it's okay to reserve some features like drive modes, rear discs and such for turbo. but keeping front armrest, rear ac vents, rear defogger for turbo is beyond justification.
it makes the car irrelevant for many
