  • While our first look video of the Citroen Basalt SUV Coupe is already out, we will focus more on big positives and negatives of this car in this one. While it shares its engine and gearbox options with the C3 Aircross, it's priced a little lower than the latter. Its base variant is priced at Rs 7.99 lacs, but the one we drove - top-end turbo AT - is expected to have a price tag of Rs 15-15.5 lacs on road.
    Disclaimer - The car in this video was given to us by CItroen India, and we drove it in and around Goa.

    Thanks for the lovely 🌹 review Vikas. For a middle class buyer, 11:07 lack of auto dimming IRVM is not a deal breaker, start stop button & passive keyless entry is basically just showing off features. Cruise control is something you will use when you go on highways regularly not occasionally and if a car has 205 NM Torque it has more than sufficient pulling power for hills and pulls through when trying to overtake so no need for paddle shifters. Sunroof craze will wane off when people will realise that it actually creates vulnerability in the car for crash tests. Type C chargers, 360 camera for parking ease and ventilated seats for Indian summers are essential misses.

      Anyone who thinks that keyless door entry and start-stop engine button is just a gimmick has clearly NEVER driven a car with those features. The only thing that's a gimmick is the sun-roof. But the reality is that people want that too. So this car fell short in so many different ways!

    I don't get why people are calling Basalt Value for money or cheap. The base model price is literally 9 Lakhs on road which is the exact same (even slightly higher) as it's competitors Venue, Sonet & Fronx since it's pitched in the same segment.
    Comparing Basalt with Curvv is just pointless as they are entirely different segment cars. So the price difference will be obvious.

    I see a lot of reviewers providing biased reviews which narrows down the choice for buyers in India. Let them try out for themselves and decide what suits them. If the cars basics are sorted such as Engine- Gearbox Combination, Ride and Handling, Ergonomics, Overall Fit and Finish and Material Quality, the car should do well, as it’s an honest effort by the company. Stop driving away customers even before they’ve seen the car in the flesh. FYI , sit in e-C3 or C3 and feel the ride quality which is far better than all sub 4 m SUVs and some bigger 4.3m ones as well.

      If someone praises but gives feedback, like you, he would nt bother to check out
      If some one gives feedback in a way that he has reviewed this car, then he would become restless and react immediately justifying his statements his opinions.
      This is what I observed and I don’t want to follow this kind of journalists who will definitely kill brands like citroen who are trying to improve and provide value for middle class people like us.
      Even at 15.5 lakhs on road for topend
      No other product in the competition offers the kind of performance and transmission(torque converter) suspension set up and the basic essential features that citroen offers
      Only thing I feel missing in this basalt is push start/stop button and better looking door handles and cruise control
      Then again no car is perfect and there is something missing in every other car but I am willing to compromise on the misses in basalt than the others.

    Urban City Buyers are aspirational & more than 80% only wants the best offerings. And that the reason why Citreon C3 lineup is suffering. Buyers will always compare Cars before buying.
    In India buying a Car involves family members & is a Status symbol unlike in Europe where its primarily used for everyday commuting.
    Citreon Brand is in Negative. Hence buyers do not have faith, trust & confidence in buying their Car unless he is knowledgeable & happy with the Basic Taxi offerings by Citreon.

Sabke saamne hai dono ki strategies. All I am saying is Citroen makes some world class products outside India, India too deserves their quality products.

I think you should be associated with the Citroën group and advise them. You rightly mentioned that, given their pricing, they could effectively target rural India. However, they remain largely unknown even in urban areas, which highlights the shortcomings of their marketing team. Moreover, the absence of basic features is very disappointing. Even a car enthusiast who might appreciate their engine and driving dynamics would shy away due to these missing essentials.

    Citroen is trying to cater a class who aspires for Creta but have budget of Venue. So let's take the price point in consideration before being critical over its lack of features like cruse control, sunroof, ventilated seats. With good engine and one of the best suspension, The company just need to focus on brand to marketing and increase in it's dealer network to penetrate in Indian market. It's not the lack of premium features that is keeping the customer away but the marketing efforts and very few dealer presense.

    Car ko gadget mat banao. Sunroof sunroof karte rehte sab bas. Utar k dekh lo aasman bhai. Iska Engine, transmission and suspension best hai segment me. All Functional features apart from Cruise control (that too only usable in expressways) are there. Ford ki tarah ye bhi chali jayegi, Fir padhte rahenge feature list brochures me or second hand market me dhoondhte rahenge koi fun to drive car dila do. Diesel cars ki aise hi govt. Ne le rakhi hai. Iklota engine h segment jisko chala k diesel wali feel aati h and that too without any turbo lag. Ab jab 6 airbags or window switches Sahi jagah pe de diye h toh 10 lac k under C3 turbo and 12 lac pe Basalt are very good options. Bas C3 me automatica transmission ki kami reh gyi jo company le ayegi kuch dino me jaise baki functional features le k aayi h.

    Lovely review!
    I have driven and owned cars from Maruti 800 to Honda accord and I guess I can also add to the discussion:
    1. Safety is one of the things which I consider a top priority while buying thus I wouldn't trust a reinforced structure. (I was very infamous in India with my perrs to force them to use seatbelts in the backseats if they want to travel with me)
    2. Push button start, good backup camera, auto headlamps and auto wipers are not gimmicky features but very useful. (Many people called them useless in comment section).
    3. A small sunroof is a must in a car, especially in similar weather in which current video is filmed. FYI: I am one of those guys who wouldn't allow you to get your head out from the sunroof even if the car is standing. I love and care about my car's seats more... (Plus a sunroof has become a minimum required feature in India provided its given with basics like eear defogger, I am looking at you Mahindra.
    4. IMO Nick picking on the thigh seat adjustment was a little more but honestly that is a useless feature for mass and those rupees could have been inveted in something else like better lioking door handles, lol.
    5. Also IMO the wireless chargers are useless as they are very slow.
    6. Is the USB C provided in other cars faster than the USB A here, if not it doesn't make any difference.

    This will chart ahead of the Tata Curvv. First off it ticks off all the right boxes for the required features. Second its not full of complications like the Tata Curvv, so the chance of a breakdown in one area triggering a breakdown in other areas is limited. Finally, everyone knows that you do not want to deal with Tata's service experience. Yes, Citroen is relatively new but they have made the right moves and adapted beautifully with each iteration. Finally lets not forget the killer price point! They will take over the market of they continue to innovate at this pace.

    I am surprised to see a review that focuses more on extra frills than the basic qualities of a good car like top class ride quality, great suspension and a good turbo engine with impressive torque. A car needs to drive well first and foremost, I suppose. Many offer fancy features to camouflage poor basics. Citroen is a top global brand and those who can afford must look at their C5 which has excellent features and drives like makkan.

As far as citroen having better cars in Europe that's a totally different market approach thier doing which I'm sure citroen woth it's future models will bring those up market cars to india as well be it not we already have the c5 aircross which is an up market car .
