That underthigh support option in the rear seats - why has no one thought of this genius idea before! It’s fantastic!
Majority of basic automotive innovation has come from Citroen.
They do think first!
Citroen is known for it aesthetic innovations ...
Citroen known for comfort focused cars bro
Its actually useless if you are long
@@CLOSEUP001Yeah still practical than having a sunroof on your car 😅😅😅
Now all Citroen has to do, is to expand their sales & service network and focus more on advertising their products properly. The car looks promising and it deserves good sales. All eyes are on the pricing. All the best Citroen!!
Really .
😂
The name Citroen doesn’t appeal,sadly
@@confidential1234 Yes. The car has strong fundamentals. Only lacks in features. Although there are still some missing features, it feels better packaged now.
@@narendrashetty7981 I agree to some extent. But something's always better than nothing. **Cough** **Cough** Honda...
No sunroof no gimmicks no connected tail lights only gives what's absolutely necessary. Finally a good car in the Indian market. I hope they focus just more on safety and toughness too.
Indians don't want "absolutely necessary". We want the useless shit u have mentioned. Simply baffling.
Unfortunately car enthusiasts are not the majorty of buyers. The idiotic masses demand a sunroof because their kids ask for it🙄
Cheap interiors
That's what I was thinking. No gimmicks and the sunroof 💁🏻
@@seasaltlemon8237 cheap in what terms?? I would prefer this car always rather than a ₹7 lakh nexon added with some fancy lights and features and selling it for 20 lakhs💯💯... Making people fool!
Hot take: this looks better and more polished than curvv.
😂
Wait Until Tata fanboys come and Drag about How Tata is safer than Volvo 💀
Fr it looks more proportionate
But the tata curvv is above the segment. It compete with Nexon,sonet,venue,fronx.
true basalt is a good one!
Tata : We are going to launch the first-ever mass produced Coupe-SUV in India

A well packaged car. Citroen is known for its comfort, well the price of Basalt is gonna be a key factor..
At the end it said around 8.5 exshowroom
@@launcherxofficial9893 exactly!
it's 8.5 lakh ex-showroom!!
Citroen is well known for world's best suspension.
8.5 lakh ex showroom is not possible . Base model exahowroom would be around 9.99lakh .
Finally Citroen understand indian customer and makes feature rich cars....😎
Kya features bro? Issue jyada features punch me aati hai

Nice to see something different being offered to buyers. Now i hope someone will bring back a station waggon.
The mpv are kinda the evolved station wagon
No one can deny the fact that it is a good looking car.
Good looking but not looking like a couple
I didn't find it good looking, neither from inside nor from outside.

@@Channel-y5ydo an eye test
@@midhun8869 you get a mental test done 🤣🤣🤣
Super excited to see the coupe suv segment in the indian market
Wow 8.5 lakhs! Good pricing
Citroen Basalt Rocks. I wish these features were available in the my citroen c3 aircross. Now, Citroen India is on track as per the consumer needs. Well done, Citroen. Thanks for the glimpse of Video @Autocar India. I am looking forward for the first ride impressions.
Yes they made it available in C3 Aircross and even in C3...check news
I was wishing the same thing! I hope some of these can be ported onto the C3 Aircross older models, such as the auto folding ORVMs and LED projector headlight.
Perfect and Clean Interior... superb interior design too.
They priced it really well . If they pass 4+ safety rating then it’s 🔥👍
But unfortunately it won't because it share platform with same C3 which got zero stars in Latin ncap
@@Heh6ic The platform is eCMP used by all fiats, citroen, Peugot and Vauxhall and all the respective cars are 5 stars in the best in crash rating - Euro NCAP.
@@Heh6iclstincap is 10 tume stringent than gncap requirement. Even tata mahindra score a 0 or 1 in those test
@@hiran2016 if it gets minimum 4 stars means that will be a good news for middle class people who looking for a perfect car in below 10 lakhs segment.
If flap door handles would've been a deal breaker (as per the comments) then the Thar shouldn't have been selling like it is currently right? 😂
I am happy that they have listened to customer feedback
The adjustable thigh support is great 👌
Citroen cars will sell like a hot cake in India now. Nice design and interiors and accessories can make it more bold.
This car will make a blast. Amazing Design far more better than Curvv. Amazing Citroen, All the Best
Don't underestimate the Indian buyer. Most unpredictable market ever.
Door handles looks like from old age Alto 🤮
@@prasbBro someone replied to you in the previous comments and you are still spamming all over the comment section... Are you a fanboi? 😂
@@prasb also bmw possess the same
No it won't, does not looks good from out side or inside. The door clading look bad, like Kwid. Only that thigh support and headrest are good.
Style wise ; tata curvv❌ Citroen basalt✅
Door handles used from oldest era Alto 🤮
@@prasb your making the comment section bad if u don't know the purpose just keep quiet
@prasb Do you feel the same about the Thar's door handles?
@@SPM_SS Thar is a rugged off road vehicle. It is supposed to be having such rugged door handle on it, but here it is a cute little delicate coupe. These handle looks Cheap on such pseudo coupe.
@prasb Wrangler is a rugged off-road vehicle. Why doesn't it have flip up handles? Why coyluldnt Mahindra copy the door handles while copying the vehicle? Because no one buys a car for the door handles.
It's a really good looking suv ❤
It is a Sedan.
@@Vijay-cz7pe for good for better.
These propotions are way better than curvv.
Exactly... Curvv looks out of proportion
Is it only me who likes the door handles? This is such a balanced and a maturely designed car.
Finally someone said it. It goes with the overall look
Better than Tata for sure ✔️
Yes Tata got quality and reliability issues.
Door handles taken from oldest Alto 🤮🤮
@@prasbBMW x1, bmw x5, thar, Gymny, latest minicooper all got these same door handles 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
@@athuldominic The why you all Tata haters go crazy when Tiago had old style door lock knob ? Why so much selective bias hate against Tata always ?
@@prasb Do i said i hate Tata??.. I own Tiago.. Thats why i said it got quality issues.. Just said facts
What's with the door handles ??? Citroen seems to be so obsessed with old styled one....
Old design is more fool proof and durable.
Looks horrible
Have you seen new Porsche Taycan (more than 4 crore worth car). It comes with similar flap type handle (yes, there is a change in the shape), Mahindra Thar, Suzuki Jimny and few of the new BMW electric models..all come with flap type door handles...
And no request sensor, no engine start-stop button
Basalt looks just AWESOME..outside n inside. Looks VERY MUSCULAR N MACHO, as cars should be, like in the old days! ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
I love Citroen..always brings some feature that is novel, practical and cool. The thigh adjusted seats are gonna be a big game changer. Now everyone will follow, as usual.
That platform's safety quotient is the only concern, else it's a no brainer
Beautiful... Citroen seem to have understood the market & updated themselves for good...👍🏻
Stunning in this red
I loved the design and interior of this car. If this does well on the test drive, I am a buyer.
Being a fan of COUPE designs since childhood, this car surely increases my urge to get one, which I can finally afford❤️🔥❤️🔥.
P.S: Tata futuristic headlight design just doesn’t go with the taste :)
Tata headlights is so boring
Tata headlights is so boring
First look of this remind me of the old generation Swift dezire
really want them to do good, want to get my hands on the c3 turbo.
Citroen Basalt is good car, good proportions size and design. If pricing goes well its good overall package.
They have been clever to keep a engine displacement low for better fuel efficiency (resulting in lower grunt/punchy pickup) as people want looks, space, pricing, reasonable mileage, good ground clearance, large touch screen, good interior space and comfort..it seems to tick all boxes to pull people to citroen showrooms.
No doubt its fresh looking car and seems to be winner on cards which may eat into existing competition for sure!!
Interior should be black if out is white. No it's real race is with TATA Curvv. Boot space very Nice. I remember of Maruti SX4. I am amazed with names of CARs coming Basalt , Curvv , maker's must think of nice names which easily come in mind of person. Rest all my good wishes.
The basalt looks like a artwork..
Curvv looks like a clay model..
Citroen finally is listening to the feedback and are giving the requisite features never offered at the first place. And the adjustable thigh support for the rear seat is simply unique.
The latest gen c3 aircross facelift in Europe is sooper cool and that's the one for Citroen India to upgrade to ...to set the sales chart ablaze
Viva Goa .. the old Goan Portuguese house behind is so beautiful
I saw this car on the road today. Didn’t know it was for a review by autocar!
All motor youtubers are in Goa for this
Is this shot on a phone, with HDR turned to MAX?
The colour saturation is over done...
Thank you director.
From the A-pillar till the rear I find the first gen Dzire
I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
This is another chance for Indian car buyers to understand how to make a wise decision in a car purchase instead of getting fooled. I pray that this will be a big hit, that it will lead the Indian car industry in the right direction, and that it will save the hard-earned money of the middle class. Good luck, Citroen.
Tata curvv looked like a sedan put on bigger boots from the side.
This on the other hand looks like a much better balanced design aesthetically.
Design is cute 🥰.
Hope Citroen price it right.
Citroen needs to market this car extensively, it deserves good sales number
One of the best car I feel for indian roads. Lots of content they put in this model. Amazing
Finally citroen understood the Indian market ❤
No connected tail lamp, No sunroof, no ADIDAS... fail.
@@RoodeMenon Thank God they didn't gave these gimmicks.
Indian Govt doesn't middle class people to have access to good cars.
We are stuck with substandard low quality Tata Mahindra and Maruti
Man..Slightly disappointed with the ground clearance...Rest seems great..
That liftback style boot door in itself is just superb styling... unlike the C segment sedans
Wait for crash test rating. Smart looking car and much better than Hyundai and Suzuki but it’s probably going to disappoint in crash test like the ec3.
I think may be this time it get good stars
With six airbags and standard safety systems it could score 3 star and above
Lack of ADAS will reduce the rating sadly.
@@mannysidhu7723 adas isn't a criteria in gncap
@@PS-ug7nm hopefully
Finally . Citroen has understood the Indian car market strategy
Proper proportions of a coupe SUVs checked in ✅
Mark my words: this coupe will rule other suvs
Hope station wagons will be back soon too
The RC of my Seltos says it's a station wagon 😅
Affordable station wagons I guess even citreon sells them in Europe
4:18 Unique feature, seems great
BTW waiting for its drive review - the main aspect of any car
Indians are not fan of overdone design (mostly the front facia). Citroen should understand that.
Creta sales indicate otherwise?
I think Citroen has listened to its customers. They have made the basic updations much needed for an Indian consumer
This is looking nicer than Curve, sadly I'm skeptical about the Company
What this channel needs ? Video quality improvement
It with all safety requirements, it’s safe vehicle to drive with family. Good sporty and Bold looking. Worth to Purchase this car. Even service network in full fledged and quick action with optimised OE part price.
By the time Curvv hits the market all other car companies will have their own coupe on road
Citroen finally got a winner. I’m sure it will sell in huge numbers.
if they offered hybrid model oh my god citroen would have made bags of money. Honda missed that opportunity with Elevate and now citroen.
Citroen c3 was also a good car. But they killed it by cutting basic features. If they avoided cutting bits at the time of launch, then they could have gotten better sales. Indians are ready to spend money. Why do they need to cut basic electrical mirrors. I hope this car will raise good sales.
Looks awesome ❤
Safety??
looks like this will be a hit in Indian market!
Good to see the hype around new Citroën product, increases the competition which is beneficial for customers.
Finallly Citroen understood the indian market
The prices just came out for all the models. I think the mid range model (Plus) is the one everyone will be going for before the prices come out. I was expecting that to cost around 9 L Ex showroom which will translate to around 10.20 L on road which could've been a good deal.
But Citroen chose to sell their Plus model at 9.9L ex showroom which will translate to around 11.25L on road. At this price point I don't think it's a good deal. There are other cars that provide better features and almost similar riding experience and safety. I think Citroen messed up with pricing their Plus model at 2 lakhs difference.
All maruti lovers are deliberately loving the looks of this car😂
Not a Tata fan, but Curvv looks better tbh
Crossover with a sedan’s boot space. That’s my liking. Basalt added to wish list.
Want to know more about under thigh support
Look 🔥
Editor was smoking some crystal meth to come up with this colour grading
This is looking like a beefed up sedan unlike how different Tata Curvv looks
Citroen has definitely upped its game. Glad to see the improvements.
Hope they expand service networks quickly too!
Great upgrades. Really like where Citroën are heading in terms of fit and finish.
I really loved the design of the car. Clean and sorted ❤
Wish they gave the yellow too! It looked beautiful in promos
It is definitely a better choice than a Maruti - Dzire, Swift, WAGON R and also Brezza
Best looking suv coupe till date...kudos to Citroen...👏👏👏👏👏
What about safety ratings...can we expect 5 star this time..?? Unlike Big Zero scored by its siblings.
And if not 5 Star then it is of no use.
It should score good since it has a lot more safety features than the C3. If you read the full report for C3, it had a stable body shell which is quite important. Even a 5 star rated Verna does not have a stable body shell and it cannot withstand forces greater than the ones at 64 kmph. In reality, the verna is nowhere near worth that 5 star rating is not as safe as other stable body shell 5 star cars. I am willing to bet that Basalt will be as safe as verna in real world conditions if it has required safety features & strong structure overall.
@@siddharthpathak3394 let's see
Hoping good build quality
70's & 80's generation will remember a coupe "Standard 2000".
The car looks a mini version of the Standard 2000
May be this one will sell more than the previous cars🎉🎉
Now waiting for Mahindra coupe more♥️♥️
Awesome but i wanted a panoramic sunroof
Honestly, Citrohen put efforts this time. Very good looking car. 😊
Does it have cruise control?
Citroen is learning from India ❤️
Editor: Colour Saturation lvl?
Producer: YES
looks clean design with no gimmicks.
I am waiting with bated breath for Autocar review of the Basalt. Citroen has a winner. What they need to ensure it's worthiness is to market and price it right.
I wonder why the boot space, wheelbase & ground clearance is less as compared to the C3, because right off the bat, it seems like a bigger car. Would be nice to see a small sunroof in the facelift version. I do agree with some people in the comment section on the fact that this does seem like a much cleaner, no fluff design as compared to the Tata Curvv. Really hope the engine does not disappoint. As a whole, seems like a lovely package though.
It's really a good looking one ❤
It just might work considering how shallow we are.
