Nice pricing

Looks are decent in competition to curvv pricing is better And Citroen is one of the best brand famous for its comfort let's hope for the best in how it performs in this Indian market.

Best Value for money drive

Vale for money car. I am talking about looks, features, safety, engine, service, bumpy road experience all best. Riding comfort is at best. For this budget, this car is good. . .

Simply superb!

Pros: Overall it’s a nice driving experience and I got it for 12 lakhs optional petrol model. Comfort is at its most. Good mileage. It has a stunning appearance on the road. Service and maintenance costs are decent. I’m getting 19 into 21 km mileage on highways Cons: For this amount, at least they could have given the automatic adjustment ovrm, Front dashboard lamp with sunglass holder.
