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.
Tata Punch
- A proper mini-SUV look with the size of a hatchback. Has great road presence despite its compact size.
- The quality of plastics used in the cabin feels premium for the price.
- Surprisingly spacious for its size. There’s ample kneeroom and headroom, even for a six-foot tall person.
- Good feature list: sunroof, smooth 10.25-inch touchscreen, cruise control, and automatic climate control.
- Comfortable ride quality over a variety of surfaces. 187mm of ground clearance is confidence inspiring.

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.
Tata Punch
- Six airbags are not available, even in the top model.
- The engine feels underpowered on highways, especially with full passenger load.
