Trending Questions on Citroen Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I own a Wagon R and like its space, ease of driving, and entry/exit due to its tall, boxy doors and seats. I have back pain, often use a driver, and also use the back seat. While driving, I often deal with zigzag traffic in Bengaluru and don’t enjoy driving much. I test-drove the Nexon, but entry and exit were difficult due to the door shape. Which car should I buy as an upgrade, focusing on better safety, boot space, and modern features than the Wagon R, without spending too much?
I am planning to replace my 2015 Polo petrol. I drive less than 10 km daily, and once every three months, I take a 1,100 km trip to my hometown. We are a family of three, and my budget is around ₹14 lakh. I am looking for a car with premium features and a petrol automatic turbo engine.
If you have a Citroen touchpoint nearby, the Basalt X could be worth considering. It offers a fantastic turbo-automatic powertrain and an excellent ride-handling balance, something you will appreciate. Its new feature set is quite good as well.
The Hyundai i20 N Line is another well-equipped hatchback that is good to drive too.
I have been driving a TC automatic i10 for over 15 years and am very comfortable with it. I am looking to replace it purely due to age. I am considering a new small automatic car for ease of driving and parking in Bangalore. However, cars of a similar size only come in AMT/IMT versions, and not the proper automatic I am used to. Should I go for a small AMT car or look for a bigger Brezza-type TC automatic?
You should consider the Hyundai i20 iVT. Its CVT gearbox is very smooth and avoids much of the 'rubberband' effect typical of CVTs. If you are open to Citroen, the Citroen C3 hatchback is another option, offering a torque converter gearbox paired with a refined 1.2-litre engine.
Hi, I currently own an Xcent SX O and am looking for a change. My options are Kia Carens, Citroen Aircross X, and Victoris. I drive about 4,000 km annually and have elderly people at home. I liked Citron very much, but I want to know about the company’s future, performance, and stability.
Citroen is here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future, but the only concern could be a relative lack of aftersales and service touchpoints, depending on where you live.
The Citroen Aircross X is fundamentally a good product, especially after the recent update, offering a punchy petrol engine and superbly comfortable ride.
However, given you have elderly people as passengers, the Kia Carens Clavis might be a better option, as it has easier ingress and egress, and a more accessible seating height.
I currently drive a manual Baleno and am considering upgrading to a reliable automatic SUV for easier ingress and egress. I prefer a 360° camera, but I would like to avoid a sunroof, as I feel it's a costly feature that I won't use. Please suggest a car with good city mileage and an on-road price below ₹18 lakh.
Automatic options without a sunroof but equipped with a factory-fitted 360-degree camera include the Maruti XL6 and the Citroen Aircross X. The XL6, being an MPV, offers smooth, comfortable, and the assurance of Maruti’s reliability. What's nice is that ingress and egress is a breeze. with an all-new more (than before) upmarket interior and excellent driving dynamics. It delivers stronger performance, though its fuel efficiency may not match that of the XL6.
I'm seeking a car that suits my driving style, which can be a bit rough at times. My requirements include strong pickup and torque, and ample boot space. I drive approximately 30 km daily in the city and undertake highway drives of around 100 km twice a week. My budget is between ₹8 lakh and ₹15 lakh, and I'm open to both new and used options. Could you recommend suitable models?
If by rough driving you mean regularly encountering bad roads, you can consider the Citroen Aircross X - it has a brilliant suspension setup. However, choose it only if a Citroen service centre is available in your city. The Mahindra XUV3XO and Tata Nexon are also rugged compact SUVs with turbo petrol engines - the Mahindra offers a stronger engine, while the Nexon comes with a relatively bigger boot. Among used options, the Jeep Compass is worth considering.
I drive mainly in the city about twice a week, with very rare outstation trips. I want to buy a petrol or hybrid car. My main requirements are high safety, driving comfort, and good boot space. My budget is around 15 lakh.
If there is a Citroen touchpoint nearby, the fully-loaded Basalt X Turbo-AT is worth considering as it meets all your requirements. If you prefer something more conventional, the Maruti Victoris or the Grand Vitara Petrol is another option to consider.
