Most Helpful Review

Base Model, more waiting time

I booked the Kushaq Base Model Classic Variant almost 2 months ago, still on September 1st, 2024, they said that the company is not producing the cars now, and production has not started yet. So long time waiting even after booked earlier at the Indore location.

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. . .
