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 Thar ROXX
- Old-school boxy SUV styling grabs attention and has more road presence than similarly priced SUVs
- Both engines options deliver punchy performance and good driveability even with a full passenger load
- Rich features list: Panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon audio, ADAS and more
- 5/5 start safety rating from Bharat NCAP. Base model is strong on safety too
- Very capable off-road. 4x4 option gives you absolute freedom to explore but even the rear-wheel drive is very capable

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.
- Lacks sporty engine performance as compared to rivals.
Mahindra Thar ROXX
- Ride quality is not as comfortable as cars like the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara or Skoda Kushaq. Bad roads can toss occupants around, especially in the rear seat
- Petrol engine is high on performance but also high on fuel consumption
- No 4x4 petrol option
