It's a great driver's car !!! And real drivers don't care about sunroof, ventilated seats, 360 deg camera or door handles. Overall a great package, if it comes at a good price.
To establish in India, Citroen has to go with aggressive pricing which induces buyers instead of giving hefty discount at later time for unsold inventory.
citroen has generally been on the affordable side. it's only in terms of certain features which were not available, until now. if the price of the C3 and C3 aircrews remains the same, but now with the new features, then they will have a much better chance. Plus they need to consider marketing far more seriously. Along with that, setup showrooms, especially in Tier 2-Tier 3 cities, where price is more of a concern, where citron will automatically be a fine option, compared to Maruti.
They can't brother...with no sunroof...and look at those door handles what's wrong with the designers or management team with it ..all design is good Butt cherry on cake is missing 😢
@@Asif-rd5tq People don't complain about the flappy door handles on the THAR? I've never heard anything when it comes to similar things Tata or Mahindra does.
Many indians go or cherry on the cake features which I dont like personally. There have to be some compromises elsewhere. I like citroen for how they have packed the car. Super essential features with a lovely design, not even comparable to tata and mahindra who are just copying each other and sonetimes coming up with horrendous designs! Citroen will be bought by those who know how to drive and not depend on electronic features only, because the basics of these cars are the best in the market i have heard. Be it engine, suspension etc. i will definitely put it above all ither cars in this range.
Love the brand, love the design. It is a very practical car. For a low price (hopefully) the lack of features can be ignored. Red looks awesome. Comfortable interiors, great suspension, fantastic engine for the price it would be offered makes this a perfect car for me at least ❤
Most brands are selling jacked up hatchbacks at exorbitant price by just giving some fancy big screen, sunroof etc which doesn't got nothing to do with a good driver's car...
@@sk-pg8zd No it isn't. Most major accidents are caused by rash drivers who although skilled arrogantly presume they're infallible. People who are amature and recognise their limitations drive accordingly are much safer in the road. Also, that's not an argument against a 360 degree camera, if anything it's more reasons that will help drivers reduce accidents.
These reveiwers will make sure the company shuts with this product. Same happened to ford fiat now Nissan etc they will make promotion for fancy feature cars in indian market Now we have cars with bad driving dynamics.
Can you point where exactly have I said anything that’ll make sure the company shuts down with this product? Stated facts without any opinions because this is a Walkaround video. The features which are there are shown; and the features which are missing are mentioned.
I think this car will do for Citroen what the Duster did for Renault. It will establish Citroen as a brand to look for certain kinda customer needs on a budget.
11-13 lacs expected, very practical car Indian audience should welcome this product , this brand makes rally cars , it would not be good to let this brand leave india
Well said same thing in tamil nadu i want to buy citroen c3 aircross but i have to go to chennai it 200kms far away from my place. Plz citroen just increase your sales network.
Looks are subjective..according to me, the exterior looks good with masculine looks, but the interior does not appear as premium wide bezels around the infotainment system, lack of push start/stop button, Old school door handlers are the few things Citreon should consider looking into. Hope Citreon basalt will be sent to GNCAP.

Yesterday in Goa and was surprised to witness so many Citroen on road... i thought Goans like these car and buying so much... But today it got cleared that they all were media drive cars😂😂😂
Citroen should immediately add a sunroof atleast a single pane one to make it more value for money if citroen really wants to stay in race, and a 360 , adas gains more weight to it's character..
For 85ps one it should be 7L. For 110ps one it should be 9L + addons For auto it should be 10L or + Main compitation is tata curve. If on road basalts top model == cruve base. Then why not go for curve base only? Better engine, curve base will hv same or more features. And better design, 5 stars, more availability of showroom and service centers. Dont hv to worry abt company leaving india 😂
@@rdcal its missing cruise control which is an important feature in top model, push start button. Plus its missing a sunroof (which i understand is not necessary, but indian customers for some reason want it, but never use it or use it for wrong reason) many companies fail to understand what indian customers "want" instead they believe that they know what indian customers "need" i hope citroen can sell this car in huge numbers and make a breakthrough into a new segment like how Renault did with the duster in what we now call the compact SUV segment
@@saeeganesh sadly India has lost a lot of great cars in the past and companies left because people here ran after gimmicks and features. Typical pied Piper of Hamyln story. Let's hope good sense prevails. Yes they should have added cruise control and push button start. Don't agree with sun-roof if the price is sensible. Let's see
I feel it's gonna be a disappointment for Citroën again with having tata curv launch around d corner. D curv will come with a sequential led system fr drl, indicators , mirrors n tail lamps..that itself wil wow the crowd when compared to regular bulbs. Personally I hate sunroofs but d curv will have one, maybe panoramic who knows! D dated door handles, chunky steering controls, lack of cruise control, no ventilated seats or electronic seat adjustments.... Citroën shud surely fire their advisory panel n also whoever is doing the market analysis. Pricing cud be done right but its very difficult to for-go sucha lack of feature list.
They can't go with aggressive pricing with offering just 1.2 ltr engine brother...with no sunroof with top model...and look at those door handles what's wrong with the designers or management team with it ..all design is good Butt cherry on cake is missing and not the least LED tale lights are missing I mean in this stiff competitive market how can Citron missing on Basic demand of the indian buyers 😢
Sunroof is an unnecessary feature fot out indian condition it decreases structural integrity of car and i agree with you about door handles if they price it aggressively it will sell in high numbers
@@raambhakt442 ha ha think like a business point of view ..to increase the sales numbers....you are pro thinker but for layman trend sunroof is a desire to have...I am thinking like a company to increase the sales number...😀 like do we really need ADAS ON indian roads ? Nahi na...but companies are selling an people are buying and ready to pay for it ...for a brand like mahindra if sales numbers can be improved with these features...then rest is a story
@@Asif-rd5tqExactly the main purpose of the company is to sell cars they should not care if a feature is useless or not if so many people decide on the basis of the sunroof which car they will buy. They made a mistake it will not attract customers..
In car reviewers ka kya karein? Beda garg kar rakha hai. Logon ki expectations badal dete hain. As an example, When C3s were launched, dhajjiyan uda di gayi. And after some time in market, people were all praises and complained about some missing kit. It's like reviewers are paid by big companies!
If the Spresso can be called an SUV, then I guess anything is possible. Frankly this (and also the Tata Curvv) is nothing but a notchback sedan with high ground 😂 But, who cares. Everything is an SUV these days. I remember our Ambassador had quite good ground clearance, Perhaps Hindustan Motors should slap some side cladding and launch it again as a Sedan SUV. 😂😂😂
Only a Cruise Control.. Else everthing is sorted.. I hope Citroen undercuts everyone by their price.. It could be a great hit for them.. And looking by the space. I think it will be spacious than Curvv especially in the backseat.. And in terms of ride and handling Citroen has no match. Hope for the best..
Don't buy Citroen cars I am totally regretting it after purchasing it in Chennai. Car quality is pathetic and there is no service centre in Chennai currently nor a showroom for the past 4 months. Even my first service was pathetic. I am totally stuck now & totally stressed.
I'm wondered how people are so worried about sunroof. This is priced aggressively and you get a good car for this price even if it misses some gimmicks Sun roofs people are the same who prioritizes RGB in PC components than the actual performance of those components 😂😂

seems like a very sensible and practical product, for top model automatic hope it works out to be around 15L to 16L max.
the design looks good and practical, but if its handling and ride is good it should sell in good numbers.
Citroen is known for its ride and handling balance
I think this car will do for Citroen what the Duster did for Renault. It will establish Citroen as a brand to look for certain kinda customer needs on a budget.
Wow 🎉 masculine n stylish
I think this is practical ❤.
If priced right. This looks like a well rounded family car with some flair.
My only irritation is with the use of the word SUV.
Citroen catching up in installment. But they missed cruise control at least for automatics cruise control should be provided
11-13 lacs expected, very practical car
Indian audience should welcome this product , this brand makes rally cars , it would not be good to let this brand leave india
8 lakhs brother
Middle head rest? If they provide it means how would we see the rear vehicles in rear view mirror
Then why do other manufacturers offer that headrest?
If it would have good built straight away upgraded to this from my ecosport
I would like to correct you MotorBeam, the first Coupe SUV in India for the mass market is the Maruti Suzuki Fronx, quite small though, but it is
I think this one should gain some numbers for Citroen in India but pull type door handles dene mein kitna cost badh jati
