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.

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
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)
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......
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.
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... 🎉
@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
They have opened showrooms in Chennai(ambattur and OMR), Coimbatore, Vellore, Salem, Trichy, Madurai, Pondicherry, Bangalore. I expect a them double this count by end of next year.
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.
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
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
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.
Only concern is fuel efficiency for the Indian market, could have added ventilated seats & 360 view cam though sunroof is not a real miss for Indian climate‼️
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 !
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..
Citroen marketa innum nalla purinjikala bro. Comfort Riding is so good. But still it gives retro look. and retro features only. But the people need retro look with latest featutres atleast.
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 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.
When fiat punto was introduced in 2009, it surpassed the standards of all cars sold by that time. If service was streamlined, then punto was a fantastic car. Even after 2.75 lakh kms, my fiat punto performance is unbeatable even today. All such good cars has practical inconveniences of service in longer run. If we patronage such good cars, quality of auto market will change.
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
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

Yes bro, i am in Croatia, i am taxi driver, i am using this car last 2 year's.. Performance also good. Perfect car.. 👍
Citroen started in India without proper research. But now they are on track. Their products are competitive now

C3 automatic is going to be a compelling buy. It is going to be one of the cheapest torque converter you can buy with great suspension and engine

This car has killer looks. Hope it will get success in India..

Citroens and back seat comforts is a never ending love story ❤️as usual Asir bro & motowagon 🔥
Thank Sir for showing properly by pushing down the second row seats
Most detailed review i have seen on Basalt yet and i think you should make it a pan Indian or Pan world channel by introducing in English and Hindj
That colour feature to drive economical was available in my Honda wrv , nostalgic 💕
Main negative is service network and high cost for turbo variant.
Well Reviewed Asir Anna ❤ A decent amount of points covered and it helps to choose the right car to our family ❤ Keep it up team MW❤🎉
Clear Review #Basalt
What need vs essential requirements
Great review…Car is very good took the test drive.
Proper assessment of the car in all the aspects. Perfect review.👍
Door handles, Push button start compulsory & Sunroof, wireless charging, ventilated seats to be added to top end then it may be competitive
Actually Fiat used to rebadge and sell Citreon cars... Both brands under Stellantis group ☝🏻️☝🏻️
Its really really hard to find motowagon using non-tech terms. "Oru madakku kuduthurukkanga" 😁
Show room illa enga poi வாங்குறது intha car . Vanginalum service பண்ண 150 km poganum. 😢

They have opened showrooms in Chennai(ambattur and OMR), Coimbatore, Vellore, Salem, Trichy, Madurai, Pondicherry, Bangalore. I expect a them double this count by end of next year.

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 !

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..

Bro pls do updated c3 NA review...
Pls do not go for NA engine I have driven 20k kms, go for turbo nly.., NA has 2nd gear lag issue
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
@@motowagontrue gncap variation is a bad clause they had.. having stable structure speaks on the volume of safety the car holds
