6. Driving & Comfort
Driving & Comfort Assessment
City Driving
The automatic transmission makes stop-and-go traffic easy to manage. Turning radius of 5.2m is reasonable for urban maneuvers. Good ground clearance for everyday Indian road conditions.
Highway Performance
The 109 bhp engine is sufficient for highway cruising but needs planning for quick overtakes. Turbo power kicks in nicely at mid-range, making highway merges confident.
Ride & Comfort
Torsion beam rear suspension handles most road imperfections adequately. Road and engine noise are noticeable, typical for this segment. 470L boot space is adequate for weekend trips.
7. Community Sentiment
Community verdict for Citroen Basalt: Sentiment is overwhelmingly positive. Owners frequently praise value for money, but express concern about issue-hate.
Recent Owner Reviews
20 reviews"Beauty But Only Beauty, Nothing Else: I was very excited for the car and after buying, faced multiple problems. Poor suspension. In name of cost cutting, they took most basic buttons like master button for door lock / unlock etc. Mileage is poor. Like 7-8 kmpl in city. Not happy with the brand. Had high expectation."
"Good Car Best Suspension Best: Good car Best suspension Best ac Comfort is awesome Boot space is very much Engine is bit noisey Overall a good package But features like sunroof Cruse control in manual is not there They also need to introduce cng variant for this car Else all good No worries wherever you go nonstop Looks are awesome."
"Citroen Basalt Review: Nice car overall || interior is okay but overall a good car with great driving pleasure. || Milage is okay and exterior is good. || Underrated car in the bush but if you choose to go with this, would be a good decision provided the service and spare parts are hard to find but if you're living in tier 1 tier 2 city then there would be no problem."
"Basalt: Hits And Misses: The Citroen Basalt impresses with its excellent driving quality and stylish design. However, it lacks several modern features that are becoming standard in today's vehicles, which might drive potential buyers towards competitors. Additionally, the safety of the Basalt is uncertain, as it has not been tested in the BNCAP. Citroen has a unique opportunity to capitalize on this gap, particularly in the budget segment, where enhanced safety and modern features are still rare, except among brands like Tata, Mahindra, and the VW group."
"Over Load Latest Feature And Safety: Best car for low budget and full of all latest features and good safety options. Good colour combinations . Road clearance is best.

But i wish it was available in the diesel variant as well."

"Citroen Basalt Awesome Suv Coupe Car In This Segment: I recently had the pleasure of driving the Citroen SUV Coupe, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The car's sleek design and coupe-like silhouette make it a head-turner on the road. *Pros:* - Comfortable ride: The Citroen SUV Coupe absorbs bumps and irregularities with ease, providing a smooth ride for passengers. - Spacious interior: Despite its coupe-like design, the car offers ample legroom and cargo space. - Feature-packed: The car comes with a range of innovative features, including a touchscreen infotainment system and advanced safety features. - Fuel-efficient: The car's engine is surprisingly fuel-efficient, making it a great option for daily driving. *Cons:* - Limited visibility: The car's sloping roofline can make rear visibility a bit challenging."
"Citroen Basalt X Plus NA Engine: I own a Citreon Basalt X Plus NA engine. Upgraded from a WagonR CNG which was driven almost 2 lakh kilometers in less then 9 years. The Basalt X Plus is highly under rated car for the price it comes at. The ride and comfort is way superior to most SUV cars in above price range. Driver comfort and ergonomics are loved by many friends and family who own higher priced cars to. The space in rear seat to boot for luggage is luxury in itself. Have driven for over 3000 kms on highways to steep hills and ghats. The 1.2 NA engine is something one should check out if in budget..its worth a test drive. The cabin is way more silent then any of the Maruti Suzuki top models too. Yes, the NA engine outside sounds like a diesel for most, but is is way silent inside with closed windows. To fatigue on long drives . Highly recommended to do a test drive before you say no to it."
"Citroen Basalt Max Turbo AT: We finally got the Citroen Basalt Max Turbo AT home a week ago. I absolutely love the car. This must be the best car offered by Citroen in india, the 3 cylinder engine is so refined, I am getting a mileage of 13.4 kmpl right now in Delhi. The suspension is rightly tuned you wont even feel the small potholes and bumps, the cabin is spacious and comfortable to sit 5 very easily. It is equipped with all the necessary features and functions. Overall, a great coupe SUV."
