Citroen Basalt 1.2 Turbo Automatic First Drive Review

By Vikrant Singh09 Aug 2024

Here are out first impressions of the new Citroen Basalt.

Highlights

By CarWale Team16 Sep 2011

After the Micra, the Sunny is probably the most important car for Nissan and its plans for the Indian market for it will compete in a segment where people are particularly finicky about the value they get from the money they spend. So, if the Sunny really has to shine then it must offer space, equipment, reliability, power and economy. But does Nissan’s new Sunny offer all these? AUTO BILD INDIA’s forthcoming issue has the answer to that one
