4 Citroen Basalt: Which is the most VFM trim

The You trim is best suitable for customers who have a tight budget and need a larger or more stylish alternative to a hatchback and are interested in Citroen Basalt. The Plus variant is the most balanced option as it comes loaded with all the basic amenities and gets variable engine and transmission choices. The Max trim looks and feels more premium than the mid-trim Plus, but, the additional features available in this variant can be avoided to save a few lakhs. Availability of all the important features and amenities, and wider powertrain combination choices make it the most value-for-money trim for the customers.
