Everytime I watch a review of c3 aircross. It just tells me this car is just ok and will do good.

[@mtalwar80]

Really good review, much much better than those self-proclaimed reviewers with limited knowledge and opinion about the car. This review gives a true insight about the car and lets you decide as the final consumer.

[@adityachavan1621]

Cardekho has level of quality. Thier opinion matters

[@cardekho]

Grateful for the trust. ❤️

[@nabeelkhan4878]

We thrive on your trust. Thank you.

Great Car! Has all the important features without unnecessary friils.

[@vickybranson7392]

Great video bro 👌 Beautifully explained in a calm and composed manner 👏

[@nabeelkhan4878]

Thank you!

[@cardekho]

Glad you liked it!

[@vrushanktankaria4178]

If price is around 8L then considerable.. otherwise not desirable.

[@shahrajiv5261]

Nice information

[@bidhankeshari8543]

Budget suv....a great driveability and engine pwrform well better than 4 cy..in power delivery.. Pricing is important

[@chinmaysawant9275]

I see this concept very similar to what Honda tried to with Honda BRV but with even less features. Also storing the seats when removed is concern. And finally if I want 7 seater I would rather get Kia Caren or Ertiga. Lower price simply feel compromised in ownership here.

[@cardekho]

It could carve some space out for itself provided Citroen delivers the product at a lower price. The C3 hatchback was not particularly aggressive in terms of pricing compared to the rivals.

[@nabeelkhan4878]

Thanks for sharing!

[@swapneelp]

thoda background music ka volume kam kiya to aur thoda clearly samajh ayega aap kya bol rahe ho.

[@abhilashkoushik7420]

This car needs 4-5 features to appeal for larger audiance Auto dimming IRVM, auto folding mirrors, Auto AC with rear AC vents, ventilated front seats and push button starts

[@tropicalblooms4106]

Citroen c3 scored 0...was anxiously waiting for this until latin ncap came..This looks good but some safety is also reqd.

[@sarfarazshaikh6268]

Best cars in budget

[@Om_namah_shivay_1080]

No nonsense car . Citroen need to increase dealerships.

[@rajatsahota24]

Talking about door flaps Renault duster had same type but was a bit and all the other cars had other type door handles.

[@guldiwan5772]

🎉New Fresh Looks Truely mini suv like Rugged suv stance Will beat Korean cars if French address issues in terms of safety ratings and pricing Will really do well if amt varient is launched soon

If c3 get indian/global ncap rating to 4 star then this will sell good.

[@dfsfsf1000]

[@vinaybati4606]

The dash board design is very hard and intrudes into interior space It could have been more subdued or flat.

[@AdityaSingh-uz3tm]

5 seater variant is excellent🎉

[@cardekho]

Great boot for sure!

[@SmartWizzard]

Little confued about this and tata Nexon any suggestion would be helpful in deciding. Nexon Creative + loaded with features but all model have worst interior spacing both driver and back comfort is very less. c3 Air-cross, no features but I liked the Seating comfort, spacing and practicality. Now my question to you, is choose nexon and adjust on space and comfomrt for the features and safety (or) Buy c3 air cross with zero features and enjoy ride quality and space comformt with 1 star safety? which will be a good buy for long run without any issues. And by the way nexon creative + cost 15laks and c3-air-cross cost 15laks for Max

[@Nonewon]

A good compromise will be going for xuv300 mid variant.

[@singh32937]

Iska top model bhi bhut hi basic hai, isse better competition ka second base le lo similar price me better value

[@neerajmamilla995]

Warrenty return to be addressed to eliminate challenges...if its a unrelible vehicle...

[@sss-sx7fs]

Dealer nahi hai inke. Service me problem aayega.

[@bhushan5531]

Citroen is in battlefield with spears and competition has Machine Gun, death on arrival😂

[@prasantchetry6041]

Door handles and locking keyless and push button start should have been there

[@mriganksuryavanshi6247]

Disappointed with features… At least they should have basic features like Dedicated Power window button at rear, Projector lead lamps, cruise control, start stop button, Automatic AC, retractable side mirror. These are practical features I don’t haven’t given it. I was planning to purchase this car but features 😓

[@elvispink4792]

I beginning to think about the Think Tank of Stellantis. Are they even watching the competition.

[@cardekho]

What’s a critical miss according to you?

[@elvispink4792]

@@cardekho Where do I start? I have been seeing some of their launches in overseas market. The overall quality fit and finish is not at par with Europe. However I know that during localisation you cannot have the same product. But C3 Aircross has missed most of the must haves in this segment. Just a comfortable ride won't have customers walking in. The big miss is the overall perceived quality of a European brand.

[@ramjiraja6001]

what about the built quality of the car???

[@ompandey4260]

Citroen is the best option at present.....all products are too good value for money and comfort is awesome

[@sss-sx7fs]

12 or 13 lakh me tata Nexon aa jata hai bhaiya. Number 1 suv in india.

[@Pharaohof21stcentury]

9 se 12 lakh ka bracket hi jayaz h bs

[@vickyntt]

Lagta hai ye company apne lie india se bahar jaane ka rasta bana rahi hai 😂😂

[@Murlock2000]

Is this an "Indian only" version ? I havent heard or seen anything about this mode / looks in Europe ! I have the 2019 C3 Aircross as well and its quite good.

[@SuperAfthab]

Do you like this looks?

[@prasoonkunj]

Automatic climate control to rahna hi chahiye tha

[@ch7ramesh]

Price tag matters

[@xavier_345]

Kaash isme diesel engine hota Nexon aur xuv 300 mein se hi ek ek koi lena padega

[@nrsktrading1286]

key looks very cheap, window buttons placed not ergonomically, plastic quality and stiffness looks low, auto air quality and rear a/c vents should have been there, instrument cluster does not look good and automatic transmission required. Engine vibrations and noise should be less.

[@bhushan5531]

This car is just a car from world war 2 compared with its competitors. Features ✖️ engine performance✖️ design✖️ variants✖️. The only thing to say "Citroen is in battlefield with spears and competition has Machine Gun, death on arrival😂"

[@kiranmoykaran2986]

A gadi bilkul nahi chalegi....agar jada rugged 7 seater chiye toh bolero neo lo aur petrol hi chahiye toh xl6 lo....yea fir Scorpio n ki base varient lelo....

[@salilkadam6026]

Very basic vehicle with no features they should look out for the competition in the Indian market before they launch any vehicle.

[@cardekho]

Valid point! Let’s wait for the pricing.

[@blackeagle5261]

Music me iski awaj hi dab gai..

[@jvjoon4333]

There is a diff. Between Simplicity and Cheapness. These door handles and no cruise control even in top model tells its a CHEAP car. Citroen is famous in whole world for making CHEAP CARS and they did same thing in India. AINT GONNA WORK

[@vickysharma4899]

Door handle , cruise control, led light 4 cylinder engine miss hai baki sab thek hai isi ke baje se sale kam hogi

Aur sunroof? 👀

[@cardekho]

Let's see

[@pariexplore]

Already the 0 safety ratings of C3 has created doubts in the minds of INDIAN buyers. Now launching a car without an Automatic Transmission will hurt Citroen very badly. Very few manufacturers understand Indian buyers! - No Automatic Transmission on offer. - No Service Stations Nearby - No Marketing - No Sale Outlets - No Resale Additionally, It has a Hard Clutch and its only offered in Manual Transmission, who will buy Citroen? Its already killed on arrival by Strong Competition from Cretas, Seltos, Grand Vitara and upcoming Honda Elevate Even if this car is priced 2-3 lakhs lower than competion, still the chances of getting success are very thin. A price sensitive buyer in India always plays safe and buys Hyundai and Maruti. However this perception may change if Automatic Transmission is on offer!

[@avinashgore518]

👌👌❤❤👍👍

[@yashwardhansingh1915]

10 lakh se upar sirf ertiga xl6

yeh kuch nahin desakti hai sirf ride and space.

[@AnkushIndia]

Hahaha 16 lakhs top end you saying?.... Better it must be NOT MORE THAN 13.5 LAKHS onroad.. as no expensive tech features/NOT Auto transmission which is always expensive over manual 🥺👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kapilchauhan8466]

i took test drive honestly speaking didnt like this felt i am driving truck ...no driving pleasure ..arm rest is un positioned its very close to driver seat . engline noise too much this vehicle only suitable for taxi operators its not family car ...i will not suggest it .

[@raajrane]

Bro it feels more like ur trying to justify their cons and show them as a good one.Dont do that. it's coming off as a fake review. Because here we all know the Citroen, Renault, nissan consider india a 3rd world country and give all their trash here.. with the worst quality products jabardasti dene ke liye.aur fir india chodne ka time aa gaya unka toh bolenge we never sold cars here..but u never tried to sell them properly 😮‍💨

[@nabeelkhan4878]

Hey man, My job is not to paint a product good or bad. Because at the end of the day, buyers have different needs. All I can do is mention what it does right and what it misses. If the vehicle suits the needs of the buyers, they will respond. Otherwise, the product will flop. The C3 Aircross, features apart, is a comfortable and practical city SUV. And I hope that is what is being communicated here.

[@k_vamsi2406]

​@@nabeelkhan4878but isnt every car in the segment comfortable and practical? I mean these 2 terms are used by everyone for every vehicle's review. Every car is practical that's why it's sold, then comfortable, yes comfort varies but not by a big margin that you end up calling a car uncomfortable. So these 2 terms apply to every car that's sold.

[@nabeelkhan4878]

@vamsi2406 yes, cars have come to a point where fine margins tilt the scales for a buyer. But each car has its USP or highlight. Things it does better than others in the segment. Things, that if are on your priority, you need to consider the vehicle for. For the C3, it's the practicality, boot space and comfort. It does these things better than a Creta, Kushaq etc. So if that is your prime focus in a car, the C3 AC will make sense. Given it comes that an acceptable price.

[@k_vamsi2406]

@@nabeelkhan4878 yeah fair enough. Price is the only thing which can save it

[@k_vamsi2406]

@@nabeelkhan4878 tbh 15-16 is still a bit too much. It Seems it's gonna come in a single variant. Honestly anything above 14 will be a deal breaker. Because sub 4m SUVs offer a lot more for their price and c3 doesn't. So the only way is to price it in sub 4m suv category as in that space, c3 ac will have advantage in engine, ride quality, space and practicality of 7 seats. Size of compact suvs (seltos category) but price of sub compact suvs compact(sonet category)

[@rahularora777]

Flop car at launch

[@boogyman5609]

I don't know what Citroen os thinking about indian consumer. Indian consumer want features, sunroof, build quality, good engine and mileage that too in an affordable price. Tata, Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai are not stupid to make feature rich cars. No one is going to buy this car when your car has interior and exterior 5-7 years old. Citroen need to perform a research on Indian market again.
