Citroen cars in India (5)
Citroen Cars - FAQs
Citroen currently offers 5 models in India, most of which are SUVs. There are hatchbacks on offer too, comprising the combustion-powered C3X and its fully electric counterpart, the eC3X. The rest of the line-up consists of SUVs such as the Aircross X, Basalt X, and C5 Aircross.
A major USP Citroen possesses over most other automakers in India is excellent ride quality in all of its cars. While brands like Tata Motors and Maruti Suzuki also have models that ride well, Citroen is particularly well-known for this.
Yes, the Citroen C3X and eC3X are both hatchbacks, with the latter being a fully electric version of the former. Moreover, the C3X is the French brand's most affordable model in India.
Apart from their cushy ride, Citroen cars are mechanically sound and offer a driving experience that's more engaging than most other mainstream brands. On the other hand, they aren't as well-equipped as most rivals, regardless of the segment.
Compared to most mass-market automakers, Citroen's dealer distribution and service network isn't as widespread.
Trending Questions on Citroen Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
Fitted a roof rack on my C3 for a camping trip and now I'm second-guessing whether it was worth drilling into the roof for something I'll use twice a year.
Hello everyone, I've been driving a Hyundai Elite i20 CRDi since 2014, and after more than a decade, I'm planning to upgrade during the upcoming Dussehra/Diwali season. I live in a Tier-2 city, and my budget is up to ₹18 lakh (on-road). After a lot of research, I've shortlisted two cars: - Skoda Kylaq Sportline (upcoming) - Citroën Basalt X Fuel efficiency isn't a priority for me. What matters most is driving pleasure, stability, and long-term reliability. I have a few questions for owners and enthusiasts: 1. Which brand is likely to be more reliable in the long run, especially with E20 petrol? 2. How do the driving dynamics of the Basalt X compare with the Kylaq? I'm particularly interested in steering feel, handling, ride quality, and overall confidence at highway speeds. 3. How has your ownership experience been in terms of service, maintenance, and reliability? I'd really appreciate insights from people who have driven or owned either of these cars. Thanks in advance!
Comparing the specs of the Aircross X and Tekton it turns out that the Aircross develops 109bhp and 190 N-m Torque versus 99 bhp and 160 N-m Torque for the 1L turbocharged variant. Is the Aircross a "Wolf in Sheeps clothing" among its peers. It kinda throws a spanner in the works necessitating an additional vehicle to check out before the prospective Tekton buyer can proceed with a clear mind, the excellent interiors notwithstanding. Your comment please.....
I need an automatic 7-seater, and my budget is a strict 17 Lakhs on-road price. I have no interest in Ertiga or XL6. I am worried about buying the Citroen Aircross due to its low brand value in India. Is there any news about the launch of the Hyundai Star Gazer in India? I can wait up to Dec 2026.
Kia Carens ClavisCitroen AircrossAutocar, kindly suggest whether I should go for the Citroen Basalt X Turbo Max 2025 model at a reduced price of around Rs. 12.5 lakh or the Toyota Hyryder S Petrol. My running is around 30km per day in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and I do a 300km highway trip once a month. I currently own a Taigun 1.0 TSI petrol, but its mileage is very low.
