Pros & Cons

Basalt X Pros & Cons	Fronx Pros & Cons	Punch 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	The Fronx comes with muscular and sharp design It offers multiple powertrain options: 1.2-litre NA Petrol, CNG, 1.0-litre Turbo Petrol It offers a comfortable ride quality and suspension is well tuned The interior is feature rich with 360-camera, head-up display, 9-inch touchscreen, wireless charging, Arkamys Sound Simple and well arranged cabin with capabilities to sit 5 people The turbo petrol engine is quick and lag free Good fuel efficiency with 1.2-litre petrol and CNG powertrain Maruti's widespread sales and service network ensure a stress-free experience	The Punch offers a distinct appearance with its SUV-inspired styling Its interior provides good practical and utility space, ensuring functionality Equipped with a multitude of features including a 7-inch Harman touchscreen, rain sensing wipers, automatic climate control, and an electric sunroof The availability of dual-cylinder CNG technology gives usable boot space Convenient 90-degree door opening allows easy ingress and egres Enhanced safety is highlighted by its impressive 5-Star GNCAP rating The Punch demonstrates refined road manners and commendable on-road stability Customization packages are offered to enhance the car with additional 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	It somewhat feels like a bigger version of the Baleno specially from sides The turbo petrol engine choices is only available for the higher variants. This makes them slightly more expensive. The quality of interior plastics doesn't quite match up to that of its competitors It provides the smallest boot space in its segment, measuring at 308 liters The rear seat may not be overly comfortable for taller passengers It lacks certain features such as TPMS, rear armrest, auto wipers, and more The 1.0-litre turbo engine is quick. However, it doesn't deliver an enjoyable driving experience. Some competitors like the Sonet, Venue have an advantage by offering diesel engines	The 1.2-litre 3-cylinder engine lacks the refinement found in competitors' 4-cylinder engines The cabin's width restricts accommodation to four adults, making it strictly a 4-seater There's no provision for a turbo-petrol or diesel engine The AMT transmission exhibits occasional jerkiness and feels sluggish The NVH level leaves room for improvement; the engine lacks the desired refinement The top-spec AMT variants surpass the Rs 10 lakh price bracket Some features, including auto-dimming IRVM, 60:40 folding rear seats, rear armrest, and rear AC vents, are not available

  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.
