Good to see you back SVP. Your attention to detail differentiates the review with the rest. I hope Citroen tastes success with this car in India. This will give Stellantis an option to stay in the Indian Car Market.

About Citroen Basalt: It looks just AWESOME..outside n inside. Looks VERY MUSCULAR N MACHO, as cars should be, like in the old days! ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥 Even the name sounds cool! I love Citroen..they always bring some cool feature that is novel and practical. The thigh adjusted seats are gonna be a big game changer. Now everyone will follow, as usual. Apart from the industry-first under thigh support, there's the curved and contoured rear passenger head rest, all of which will increase the comfort for passengers 👍👍 And the presence of the FOG LAMPS 🙏🙏 (unlike the idiot car makers who omit them in the name of "trend"), increases the night visibility and during heavy rains and 'Fog'. Now about the Tata Curvv: The front side looks like an Open Autopsy! 😂 It looks like the vehicle got into an accident and some panels have been torn apart. This stupid trend of providing unnecessary large Front grille (cost-cutting more than style) has to stop. And the back...jeezz...will anyone be able to see those "EYELINERS"...😅😅. Seriously! I fear for those driving this vehicle. They should pray that no vehicle will come and hit them from behind and cause injury. Those "connected" tail lamps will also become "disconnected" tail lamps. The quality of those front and back LED strips looks like CHEAP CHINESE AFTERMARKET ones. Can anyone tell me if I'm wrong??! This is another stupid and dangerous trend of making TURN SIGNALS ans TAIL LAMPS like eyeliners...cutting off visibility to traffic from front and back. SUCH STUPIDITY in the name of "DESIGN". And see when you open the boot wide open, how much of those tail lamps is visible??! Can the traffic coming from behind even see the hazard lights when you park the car at the side at night, and you open the boot to get something?? SCARY!! And about the stance of the vehicle..Wahh!! Kya baat hai!.. It looks like the REAR has been lifted by some hydraulic jacks to change tires! 😂😂😂 And boy oh boy, look at that CONFUSION happening at the sloping roof..why the heck woukd you give such an UGLY STUBBY "SPOILER" for a "coupe" you morons??! Tata, I think you don't care anymore. Who the heck came up with the overall design of this???? And also, the name is given to this thing..."CURVV" (like some 3 year old misspelt it 😂). The name is "Curve", but I see only squarish, angular, boxy designs both outside and inside...not at all curvacious! Whereas BASALT looks curvacious atleast inside.. How Ironic! Can't even properly name a vehicle...Why Tata, why?! The Altroz and the Nexon were spectacular names. And for a new segment first car, you came up with such a stupid name?? Even a 5 yr old could have come up with this name easily. And the name sounds more like a MARUTI SUZUKI product (they are the industry leading when it also comes to giving stupid names to their cars). The sunroof is gonna be a major pain in the butt. For those idiots who don't know,.. if the car is parked outside under the hot sun, the inside of the car will be like a furnace. Also the mechanism is prone to damage and issues overtime, by the heavy monsoon rainfalls. Oh and good luck with those toothpick "jammed" look door handles. I would like to see how the elders and aged people get into the car without havinflg to struggle with it. Moreover I fear that the entire thing could just come out with a good yank. POINTLESS and IMPRACTICAL TREND! Imagine if some vehicle hits on the side...that's it..the door "handles" will go furthwr inaide and then you would really need a "REQUEST" to get in 😂😂😂 Overall, it is such a let down, Tata! I would any day prefer the well-put, all-rounder, simple, functional, elegant and practical feauture-rich package from Citroen - the BASALT (such a cool and macho name too) over this overrated pathetic offering from Tata. Nothing against you Tata. I was a Tata fanboy. But off late I just see some monkeys running the company to the ground. So, yea no more Tata Buy-Buy, only, TATA BYE-BYE!

After a long, Long, Very Looong time, watching SVP in front of the camera narrating. Man your voice is music to the ears, & presentation as usual CRRRIISSPP. Put yourself out for automotive content a little bit more please. Would like to see you do Bike reviews as well.
Only people are waiting for crash test , if this car get 5 star , later they increase the price also , it will hit like anything , another thing need to work on mileage , after 2 years in city it will drop to 8 kms per litre in cities
Claimed mileage on the naturally aspirated petrol manual mileage is 18 kmpl, on turbo side: automatic is 18.7 kmpl, manual is 19.5 kmpl. Service costs currently not announced, as all variant pricing is also not known so far.
Bro thinks its still 2012 with this style of review. Everyone and thier mother is doing this style. You gotta stand out bruh. Also i found this review passive pessimistic. Its a great car with the right cost cutting of unwanted features like piss button start stop, sunroof, adatrash and such
This one isn't. And none of ours are. If it is sponsored content ours is the only media channel that will say so. Its how I have always done things. Won't just pass off paid stuff as editorial like others do. SVP
THIS is how you cut costs at the right places. We can easily live with everything this car offers. Zero gimmicks = extremely high reliability
Finally a classy review
Car reviewing has got aome class here...
No offend to other vloggers who
thought they could review cars😂

Curvv has much more upmarket looks ❤
Any details on mileage and service costs??
Claimed mileage on the naturally aspirated petrol manual mileage is 18 kmpl, on turbo side: automatic is 18.7 kmpl, manual is 19.5 kmpl. Service costs currently not announced, as all variant pricing is also not known so far.
Too much focus on style, not enough on practicality
What would you have liked to have seen included?
SVP
Bro thinks its still 2012 with this style of review.
Everyone and thier mother is doing this style. You gotta stand out bruh.
Also i found this review passive pessimistic. Its a great car with the right cost cutting of unwanted features like piss button start stop, sunroof, adatrash and such
Appreciate your feedback. But disagree somewhat. After all who do u think the rest are copying?
0:35 4th model but all looking same...
touché! 😄
SVP
Suspension is too stiff for Indian roads
You drove it too? I found it pretty well balanced tbh.
SVP
interior feels cheap and not worth the money
Agree, shud have been plusher. Still its a step up from the C3 Aircross.
SVP
Fuel efficiency is disappointing
For its class 18-19.5 kmpl range is not bad tho... But yeah could have been better I suppose.
SVP
Are all these reviews sponsored ?
All reviews are to some extent
Reviews are not sponsered
This one isn't. And none of ours are. If it is sponsored content ours is the only media channel that will say so. Its how I have always done things. Won't just pass off paid stuff as editorial like others do.
SVP
the engine performance is really underwhelming
What is underwhelming in power.
How do you make a car review and not even know how to get the pronunciation right? Jeez
which pronunciation do you mean?
They need to give turbo second base for 9.9 ex to finally make the foothold in indian market.
What do you think of all the variants' pricing now?
@@ackodrive except base, can't recommend because you are getting full size 4 cylinder suv in later prices.
