in Europe you can see one citroen for every 10 cars. they are being called as middle class bmw in Hungary. when they arrived india , i thought they will success easily but they had missed to hit right points earlier. but now they comeback strongly. way to go.. my next upgrade will be for sure Citroen.
I was overwhelmed with confusion when it came time to upgrade from my Ford Fiesta. I test-drove countless cars, but none gave me the connection I craved-especially the feel of a hydraulic steering system. Driving cars with EPS felt like skimming the surface of water, lacking that essential feedback. After extensive research, I finally discovered the Nissan Kicks, which offered the precise steering response and well-tuned suspension I was searching for. Asir anna, I owe my knowledge of cars and motoring to you. Your passion has always been a source of inspiration, and I find myself channeling your wisdom whenever I discuss cars with others.
Nice to see the car is cleaned very well before the shoot.i find most of the car reviewers don't Clean the car before shoot.Nice car... hope to see basalt take off in Indian market.
A day well spent for Aashir bro and Dani. A hour well spent for me. Appreciate your detailed review like this for every content. you nailed with all details I think you won't get consulting calls for basalt, because no doubt will come after this video. Keep rocking, Thanks - Riyas from Blr
I wanted to upgrade from Chevrolet Beat last year and I was checking out Nissan, Citroen, Renault but ended up buying a used Ford Freestyle Diesel car as I couldnt find a worthy new age car that matched Beat's build quality and peppy city drive engine under 8 lakhs. I wish Citroen released this model last year and I would have bought it.
I am using Beat Petrol... Quality is really impressive.. Performance is awesome.. 130000km driven but no major issues and nothing problem in engine so far
Loaded with all basic features which required for travelling from A to B.... Basalt can flatten market of nexon, 3xo, breeza, venue, creta, sonet, seltos, GV, Elevate, curvv. Subjective if they establish proper sale and service network. Moreover affordable spares availability..... Since they have benchmarked suzuki pricing they have to benchmark the their service network too.... All well know how sound the citroen machines are mechanically......
Very good review... You have touched almost all necessary points required.. as mentioned horn being an important accessory wonder why most manufacturers provide such flimsy sounding ones.... Great going.. good work.. nowadays am observing your reviews are of longer duration..which though helps in covering all valid points..but not many would sit through.. but having said that because your narration makes it interesting to watch am able to sit through... 🎉
Wonderful informative vlog.👏👏👏 Just like everyone I was doing several brand and segment test drive for atleast one month😁 As you said, The same thing I felt in Basalt...... 1. Safe feeling 2. Handling 3. Comfort 4. Endless friend circle discussions put worries like; 1. cost of maintenance 2. reliability of company (because of their low sale/market performance, everyone afraid of closure like Datsun)
I am new to cars. I am learning a lot with your videos. Good review. Seems that the car was given with a precondition from the dealer. However, you have balanced genuinely. You have good taste.
Recently I spoke with Asir bro, He had suggested a car as per my requirements and budget. I am going to book the same in few days. Thanks Asir bro and his team.
Europe lot of controversy to this timing belt ... Citroen lost customer trust from customer due to timing belt.. Nice to hear they rollbacks with chain concept... Very nice info from Moto wagon.. Timing Chain and belt oru concept contend kudunka...
@motowagon But is it worth for having more than 10 lakhs exshorrom Asir and team? Like I felt after looking the new c3 automatic it is still missing adjustable headrest and driver armrest.. also how to you expect for the NA engine performance for basalt and was quite disappointed with few feature omissions for plus NA against plus Turbo models.. and with Manual and auto in turbo..
@motowagon But really happy to see citroen finally making things right with basalt and company getting a lifeline in India...we need more oems to avoid customers being limited to few oems..
I think basalt will sell in hot numbers they priced it perfectly also it has more space than curve which is more important for a buyer ao I think space is more important than features also i think they provide necessary features which is enough
Anna..beezza lxi urbano edition vs xuv 3xo mx1 vs fronx delta...ithula yethu best??(First time car buyer) My preference: 1)back seat space and comfort 2)reliable engine-long term use upto7-10 years 3)service and maintenance cost(reasonable) 4) decent mileage (15 to 18km enough) 5)bonnet visibility (i am 6.1 feet) 6)engine noise and tyre noise cabin kulla irukkakoodathu Suggest me anna Note: Brezza ..back seat adjustable headrest after market panniruvaen
I agree the car is good, but I'm concerned about VTA's limited service network in Chennai, with only two centers at OMR and Kattupakkam. Expanding their network would greatly boost sales potential.
I am using ec3, completed 3k, excellent car, very much underrated in India. I have purchased ec3 after lot of research. I was planning to buy a diesel compact suv and taken test drive of creta seltos toyota hyryderhybrid etc, i was using vw polo for the last 11 yrs and i was not satisfied with the handling & ride quality of these vehicles, the only diesel vehicle satisfied me was jeep compass, but it was not a value for money option. Both Jeep & citroen are under Stellantis grp and in mangalore both showrooms are managed by same dealer & nearby. I have taken test drive of c3 & aircross and i was really surprised by the suspension and ride quality. Handling was also next level and i feel it is better than creta,seltos. Since diesel option was not available i have booked ec3. Acutally an EV was never in my plan, but after test drive there was no doubt about citroen. before making your purchase decision just take a test drive of citroen, they are offering practical family cars at a reasonable price range. The interiors may be outdated, features are also less comparing to other brands. But citroen actually provides all practical features and you will never get bored of driving the vehicle. comparing to polo only drawback i found is noise isolation and built quality. Built quality is still far better than same segment vehicles of hyundai suzuki & toyota.
Hi Anna , you mentioned about the steering feedback and plush ride for this right, so how does this compare with Honda city post facelift in that case ? I genuinely interested to know this for exchange purchase
Very informative review. I find the light coloured seats a bit of a disadvantage. I came across another review in which this car had wireless charging. Please clarify.
Hi Ashir any comments on why made it a coupe design instead of a raised sedan by adding a sedan boot. They could have hit across segments. Your thoughts !
Bro, please talk about Build quality along with door closing thud effect, internal noise insulation(Wind noise and road noise)and audio music quality in your reviews. Most of the reviewers are not focussing on these three points. Those who currently own European cars will give primary importance to Build quality and noise insulation in their next purchase also. So, please give importance to above points.
Citroen cars in India and developing countries have poor build quality and fit and finish. They start rattling in 10k kms. and Motowagon won't talk these issues in foreign car companies. They only bash Tata
With C3 aircross being slightly higher ground clearance, in terms of body roll aircross will be more than basalt. Unless you are looking for 7 seater option, basalt iana good choice
What will happen if citroen leaves india for the existing customers in terms of service and spareparts. Is there any rules or Court order if any automotive leaves inbetween in india.
Hello sir. Namma sunroof ku edhiraana aal nu oru point sonninga. Of course glass on roof adds more weight when compared to metal. Please tell your point why you don’t welcome sunroof much @motowagon
Pls do a video or podcast about using LED headlights and a high beams. Or atleast teach people when to use and not use high beams and the road manners at night time driving..
Pls do a mileage test of c3 aircross and Basalt Since both have same engine spec, want to see if basalt - due to coupe design/more aerodynamics, is providing better mileage/performance compared to aircross.

Citroen started in India without proper research. But now they are on track. Their products are competitive now

Door handles, Push button start compulsory & Sunroof, wireless charging, ventilated seats to be added to top end then it may be competitive
Basalt got 4 star in bharat NCAP 2:28 180 mm ground clearance as it has 16" wheels
I think basalt will sell in hot numbers they priced it perfectly also it has more space than curve which is more important for a buyer ao I think space is more important than features also i think they provide necessary features which is enough
Sir, Which variant do you think is best value for money?
Anna..beezza lxi urbano edition vs xuv 3xo mx1 vs fronx delta...ithula yethu best??(First time car buyer)
My preference:
1)back seat space and comfort
2)reliable engine-long term use upto7-10 years
3)service and maintenance cost(reasonable)
4) decent mileage (15 to 18km enough)
5)bonnet visibility (i am 6.1 feet)
6)engine noise and tyre noise cabin kulla irukkakoodathu
Suggest me anna

Brezza ..back seat adjustable headrest after market panniruvaen
In my oinion, REAR WIPER is a safety feature during rains. Why this feature is not considered as important?

Sir, How do you find the build quality. Could it go beyond 0 stars for Basalt ?
It's 4 star equivalent. The old 0 star was a misleading information
