If you don't want to charge it anymore, then okay. But there's no place to keep it in the center or anywhere around here. Here, two divisions have been made, where you You can leave the phone uncharged when not in use. If you need to charge it, you can't keep it, and with this Here you get two cup holders. And the boot space here is provided in the center, sliding It becomes visible, and here it is. If we talk about the interior features of the Citroën C3 Aircross, The case is this: in the first row of the Citroën's bus shelter Let's go to the second row—what's the space like there in this bus? Inside and what features are provided at the back, let's check Now in the second row of Citroën's Busal It will be here, you can support this Thai three If you can adjust up to the level, then an option is provided. There is an option to adjust both sides for you. Set it with the same positioning as your seat So you can make that set here in this one, very Citroen has provided a very unique feature. Ameres Mill is given in the second row. Besides this, there are two cup holders, are they the same or not? You are given access in the founders' event, you will get it. Regarding the engine, it's a 1.2-liter naturally An aspirated option and a 1.2-liter turbo are offered. The natural aspirated engine you have there has 5 There is an option for speed manual, but on the turbo one, it's 6. An automatic 6-speed and a manual 6-speed option are available. The variant available with us is 6-speed automatic. It's here, and the turbo variant is with us too. We move forward and talk Let's talk about him then. Citroën's Basal performance How is the driving and handling? This variant 1.2-liter six-speed automatic variant with me The one that generates power around one hundred and BHP And it generates torque of up to 205 Nm. And there is a manual variant, which is turbo. It comes with the same power generation. But the torque that belongs to him is around 190 Nm. In addition, what is 1.2 An option is also available for a naturally aspirated engine. Now, the overall drive performance The experience I've had with this turbo engine There, power delivery I have no complaint from the very beginning A considerable amount of power is visible. And if you want to push him even harder, then The engine isn't intimidated there either; it has more power. Delivery is also available with this 1.2 turbo engine. So if you're driving alongside the city then You will also see that amp power there. And if you're taking it at high speed there too You will see excellent power in this. So in this area, I think there's no complaint in terms of of performance, I need the 1.2 of this Citroën C3 A litre turbo petrol engine has not been seen in this model. Now, although the engine's performance is good, torque Delivery is good from the beginning, very good indeed. Performance is visible, power is visible. But the noise from the engine, I think, is a bit too loud. Despite being a petrol engine, it creates slightly more noise than usual. especially when you push it a bit harder I think a bit of refinement and improvement could have been done there. And the noise levels are quite high. If you are the ones who will be heard, then you Pushing it too hard now Now, the overall length of the Citroën C5 Aircross is Around 4300 mm Hyundai Creta, Seltos-like cars The overall length of which is also this vehicle's It is around here, so within the same segment, this The car, a Citroën, has arrived, and according to that calculation If we're talking about space, I would say I have absolutely no complaint about it there. If we talk about cabin space, this also 470 liters of boot space provided in the boot space, and cabin space It's really good, the level of comfort in the second row overall. The comfort seen while driving, sitting in the seat A little bolstering might be better in the front seat. It was just overall, nothing special about the seat, really. The option given in the second row thigh support adjuster that is something very unique and In those two areas there, space is available If we talk about citron, then the one basalt is somewhere in any mine You are disappointed in this aspect It won't do it anymore now if Speaking of brakes, the bite of the brakes is what matters It's precise, it's accurate, if you're driving at high speed They are breaking one after another in the city. So, I don't think there's any problem. These terms won't break you, and Just like that, my experience with this Citroën C3 Picasso The boosting of the seats that I am talking about There, on the front seats, I think there's just a little bit Better bolsters it, especially you The car is turning, so there's a car there It's slightly balanced, but it doesn't even add confidence. It hasn't been noticeable in appearance, but it's regarding its suspension setup. The balance is quite good, but sudden speed breakers or potholes appear So, the absorption power there appears quite good when observed. And if you are driving at high speed or low speed I think the area of this setup in both mansions is Citron's. So it works perfectly, it shows up, and there's no problem or anything. I haven't seen the bus stop for this Citroen in this area. Now let's talk about Three Dhasu And three not so tough elements What do you think about this Citroën Basalt? First, let's talk about the three not-so-basic elements. The first one is the absence of certain features in it. Vented Seats option is not available This model does not have a sunroof option. The option for auto headlights is not available. and power seat option as well, at least if it were on the driver's side, then there I think if all these things were a bit better packaged Bosal could have been a Citroën, and these are the things I think are in its competition. The second element, which I believe, will be offered now Not that tough, is it? Driver's seat or front seat Body roll has been observed regarding bolstering. I think it's a bit better there. It could have been bolstered. Now inside the front seat, the third one and The final element that I think is missing here is not That's the noise of its petrol engine. It's noise, but I think it's NVH. The levels could be a bit better. There, I also didn't feel this element was quite right. The Dhasu is the one provided in this comfort, especially the second row I have been given an element where Thai support is required from you. can be adjusted up to that level, so that's something very unique about this Citroën Basalt, now the third and the final element, which I thought was awesome About this Citroën Basalt that is a 1.2-liter engine The performance is quite good. and in terms of performance, this engine, this basalt here Will not disappoint at all Now, regarding the overall conclusion, my experience Who has been with this Citroen in Basalt There are certainly a few minor elements missing in it, as far as I'm concerned. But if we talk about it overall as a package Wherein you get to see a good performance the overall design language that is especially the side profile, the SUV coupe one Stan's car is it. It looks quite good. and the overall design of the car is also from the front and rear It looks good. Moreover, the comfort is quite good. This tuning is on space and setup It's also quite good. Some features are missing, though. I mentioned a few elements. But overall, I think if Citroen This basalt is good Can reduce the price point Because the competition that exists It's going to be from Tata's Curvv, so there. Features, a little extra, will be given to you But if with Citroën pricing to find that sweet spot succeeds, the one who, after="/">listening to it, customers are drawn to this car be drawn toward it and experience it at least Reach us at our customer service centers or showrooms. So I think this final area, if Citroën uses this Basalt has a shortage where customers are concerned in terms of value so that no complaint arises regarding money or disappointment is felt there So I think the things that have been improved the most in this are those things Keep an eye on it, and if a car comes in at a good price, then I think this Citroën Basalt SUV coupé is good and a real one.
