Hello Experts, I recently test drove the Citroen C5 Aircross, and my primary concern was the price, around 41-42 lakhs for a diesel model. I'd appreciate your expert opinion on whether it's worth the investment.

The Citroen C5 Aircross diesel automatic is worth it if your top priority is comfort and a calm drive. It rides over broken roads better than almost anything at this price, the seats are soft and supportive, and the diesel is quiet and smooth, so long trips feel easy. Space is good, the back seat is friendly for three, and the boot is big for airport runs or weekend bags.The catch is value. At this price, others give more showy features and tech. Also, the Citroen brand has a small dealer network, so ready service is available only in pockets. Further, the Citroen brand is not very strong at the moment, and this will impact resale value down the road.Also note, the diesel engine is best suited for longer runs. If your daily life includes rough roads and frequent highway trips, pay for the comfort. If you want rich features, badge pull, or mostly city use, the price feels high.

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.

Go for the Kia Carens Clavis - your budget will get you a mid-spec HTE EX, which is well equipped with all the essentials, seats 7, and has a genuinely usable third row. About the Hyundai Stargazer, there is no official India launch confirmation, so we wouldn't advise waiting for it. In fact, the Stargazer shares its K2 platform and 1.5 NA powertrain with the Clavis, so you're not really missing out.One thing to note about the Clavis: while the 1.5 NA is a refined and efficient engine, it may feel underpowered when the vehicle is fully loaded. If you are frequently travelling on highways with a full load, the 1.5 turbo will make overtaking a lot easier. The turbo-petrol also brings with it the option of a DCT, should you want one.If you were eyeing the Citroen Aircross automatic for more space and power, it does give you that and usually still fits within your budget. However, Citroen's dealer network is thin, and resale values are weak, so only pick it if you have a strong nearby dealer and plan to keep the car for a long time.

Autocar, 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.

Considering your usage, we would recommend the Toyota Uran Cruiser Hyryder S Petrol over the Citroen Basalt X Turbo Max, even with the attractive discount on the Citroen.Your daily running of around 30km in bumper-to-bumper traffic and a 300km highway trip once a month doesn't justify a turbo-petrol purely from an efficiency standpoint. Since you're already finding your Taigun 1.0 TSI thirsty, the Basalt's 1.2-litre turbo-petrol is unlikely to deliver the kind of fuel economy improvement you're looking for, even though it offers a comfortable ride and excellent value at the discounted price.The Hyryder S Petrol with its 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine and mild-hybrid system is likely to be more fuel efficient in your usage, while also offering Toyota's reputation for reliability and low maintenance. It may not feel as punchy as the Citroen Basalt Turbo, but it is smoother and should prove to be the more economical long-term ownership proposition.
