Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
Citroen Basalt
  • Looks! Coupe SUV design turns a lot of heads
  • Rear seat space — great kneeroom and foot room. Ample headroom despite sloping roof
  • HUGE 470-litre boot space
  • Will accommodate a whole lot more than just a weekend’s worth of luggage easily.
Renault KWID
  • Funky and muscular styling is attractive. Long features list makes it a great VFM proposition. Compact dimensions and light controls make it easy to drive in the city. New safety features. Single 1.0-litre engine option is BSVI Phase-2 compliant.
Citroen Basalt
  • Bare basic feature list - Sunroof
  • cruise control
  • push-button start stop are sorely missed; 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine does not feel refined
  • Automatic gearbox is slow to respond.
Renault KWID
  • Engines lack punch especially out on the highway. AMT is sluggish
