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.
Nissan Magnite
- Use of soft touch leatherette padding on all touch points makes the cabin feel a lot more premium
- Safety kit has been improved by the availability of 6 airbags from the base-spec variant
- It has one of the best performing CVTs under Rs 10 lakh
- In its segment, it has one of the most spacious rear seats

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.
Nissan Magnite
- Turbo-petrol engine is not so refined which results in vibrations that can be felt in the footwell, on the steering wheel, and on the seats
- 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
- The feature list still feels pretty small and no major additions were made with the facelift
- The 360-degree camera has a grainy feed which is very hard to see in low light conditions
