      Best car from Citroën. It has the best engine and excellent handling in the Indian market. Low service cost, low maintenance, and comfortable seats in both front and back. The boot is also big.

      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.
