Most Helpful Review

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.

Just drive and you will know...

Outstanding... I'm speechless. This car offers you a great feel that you are in a smart off-roader with 5 doors, providing the best experience for both the driver and rear passengers. There's so many accessories for aftermarket modifications and it's a well-designed car that you can use for daily rides or short and long trips. I think this car is not overpriced, you have to know this car is 4×4.
