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.

Citroen C3 Live 1.2 Petrol

Looks are stunning at this price range. Suspension is awesome. The second servicing was done recently. The base variant does not have a central locking feature. I got it installed in the aftermarket. Engine performance is also good. Mileage is around 19 With AC and Four passengers
