Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Citroen Basalt
- Unique SUV coupe design grabs attention.
- Well shaped massive boot can take multiple large suitcases with ease.
- Rear seat sets benchmark in terms of comfort which makes it a great chauffeur-driven car.
Mahindra BE 6
- Stand-out styling that can pull attention away from supercars
- Two battery pack options with an estimated real world range of 400-500km.
- Superb infotainment experience: dual 12.3” screens, Harman/Kardon Audio on offer.
- The strong safety suite includes well-calibrated L2 ADAS. Works well in Indian conditions.

Citroen Basalt
- Missing premium features such as leather seats, push button engine start, powered driver seat and sunroof.
- No premium soft-touch materials in the cabin.

Mahindra BE 6
- Rear seat headroom for tall users and outward visibility for short users could have been better
- Styling is very polarising and may be too over-the-top for some in your family
