Citroen Basalt
Mahindra Thar ROXX
- 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.
- Ride comfort is still a problem. It tosses you side to side on bad roads.
- Efficiency is low, even in the RWD variants. Expect under 10 kmpl with petrol and under 12 kmpl with diesel automatics.
- White interiors - especially the fabric roof gets dirty easily and won't be easy to clean. The leatherette seats are easier to manage.
