Citroen Basalt X
- Fit and finish could be better with smoother plastics
- Limited powertrains: No diesel or CNG option
Nissan Magnite
- Less refined turbo-petrol engine: Vibrations can be felt in the footwell, on the steering wheel, and on the seats
- In consistent cabin quality: While the leatherette padding makes the cabin feel more premium, the flimsy AC knobs, and panel gaps have a negative impact on the overall cabin experience
- Small feature list: Still misses out on features like a sunroof, seat ventilation, and a big touchscreen
- Sub-par 360-degree camera: It has a grainy feed which is very hard to see in low light conditions
