Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Excellent value for money : mid-size SUV at the price of a sub 4m offering
  • A very comfortable ride set-up, something that Citroens are known for
  • Spacious cabin, even tall rear passengers will not have a reason to complain
  • 470-litre boot is bigger than even the Honda Elevate!
  • Easy to drive manners - good visibility and light controls
  • 1.2-litre turbo petrol is punchy and the 6-speed AT responsive
  • Boasts a boxy and unique exterior, making it one of the most stylish compact SUVs in its segment.
  • Loaded with advanced features like a large 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bose sound system, and ventilated seats, it offers great value for money.
  • Two engine options including turbocharged options ensures a variety of choices to suit performance and efficiency needs.
  • The interior materials and build quality are premium and provide a good feel.
  • Equipped with 6 airbags, ABS, ESC, and ADAS (in top variants), it ensures driver and passenger safety.
  • Big on space on the inside, the reclining and sliding rear seat offers good space
  • Big boot space of up to 465 litres
  • The base variant is equipped with a decent number of features
Cons
  • Features like sunroof, push button start, cruise control, auto lamps etc missing
  • No automatic (or even AMT) with non-turbo petrol. No CNG or diesel either
  • Limited dealer network - only 85 outlets across India at launch
  • Bharat crash test ratings might be average at best
  • The carmaker is not offering any naturally aspirated engine with the Syros. The availability of an NA engine can make the model more affordable.
  • The turbocharged petrol variants may not be as fuel-efficient as naturally aspirated engines.
  • Whereas the design part is unique and stylish for many, Syros’s design may look polarising to some who are inclined toward conventional aesthetics.
  • Not a driver’s car, the Syros offers decent ride quality but it is not meant for dynamism and enthusiastic driving
  • The suspension is on the softer side which can be a concern for some peopl
  • The placement of the headlamps could have been better, they are prone to get scratched easily

      The Basalt is a stylish coupe that looks amazing from the first glance. Its shape with a bold front, smooth sides, and sloping roof is perfectly designed. It catches people’s attention without being too flashy. But what impressed me most wasn’t just the looks it’s how great the car feels to drive. The term “magic carpet ride” isn’t just an ad line the Citroën really delivers. Whether you’re driving on bumpy city roads or smooth highways, the Basalt handles everything easily. Inside, the seats are soft, supportive, and great for long drives. The air conditioning works so well that you won’t even notice the summer heat. The engine and gearbox work smoothly together it's quiet, powerful, and easy to control. One smart feature is the anti-glare display for both the central screen and the driver, which stays clear even in bright sunlight. There’s also plenty of space inside both for passengers and in the boot for luggage.
