- In-cabin experience feels rich with leatherette material and ambient lighting
- Ride quality: Exceptional ride comfort even for bad roads
- Turbo-petrol engine has effortless performance for both city and highway usage

Citroen Basalt X

- Limited powertrains: No diesel or CNG option
Kia Syros
- Ride quality is likely to feel slightly bouncy on highways.
- Fuel efficiency of turbo-petrol engine in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic is known to be poor.
- Design is very unconventional which doesn’t leave a good first impression.
