2023 Citroen C3 Aircross

I went to the showroom 1st time to see the new launch of Basalt but booked the C3 Aricross MAX manual variant DT with my Swift Dezire 2010 exchange. I booked on the same day as there were a few fewer stocks available for the 2023 variant as it's a new 2024 with an updated feature model about to launch. As I got a GREAT discount with my exchange old car I choose to go with the TOP manual 5 Seater option. That was a value for money for me in terms of features coming in a new model less required for me. I made a few videos on my YouTube channel - Tech Explorer Vipin to share my first New Car journey with details. I hope that will inspire others to choose this car that is less popular but very good in terms of driving comfort and built quality. Mileage is also a positive point for this car with a turbocharged engine. In 3 days I have driven 200+ Km in the city and got 12-13 Milage with AC which is fine for me as a new car. I know after 1st service it will get improve. Most importantly in the crowd on-road presence, it gives me very nice feelings when everyone looks at my car with curiosity. Its look and road presence is very impressive. I feel due to poor marketing and weak strategy in India the company still struggling to show its presence. I think their new launch "Basalt" would be a good competition to Tata Curvv I have chosen this Car after so much research and rejected KIA Carens at last to go for this.. The only Cons I found are its less presence on the road and a lack of confidence among the people due to fewer service centers and showrooms but they are working on it very aggressively. Since their first launch C5 Aricross which was a premium segment car didn't attract Indians and later they launched the C3 Hatchback with an incorrect segment which could be a Micro SUV like Nexon or Punch segment. Now they are on the right way and launched C# Aricross a tough segment SUV with a competitive price and Basalt a Coupe SUV the first in the segment in India with a very aggressive price. Let's see how that strategy will help Citroen boost trust in the very tough competitive automobile industry in India.

Buying Experience is too good service and discount given by sales executive was great Riding experience speed and pick up of this car was up to the mark good for long rides and short rides too Look different in this market and aggressive huge size SUV Feature those are important for this day to day that were already having in this car.
