Bhai EC3 ek accha Product hai 50% Citroen ki sales usi se hoti hai.
Bhaiyya aap na video ke beech me subscribe wali announcement dal do. Subscribers badhenge. Pakka bolra hu; kyunki pura video dekhne ke baad pata nahi naya user kab wapis aaye apne channel pe
@@EXPERIMENTS_ON_RUclips Ha MP Me bhi Sales badne lagi hai.... C3 ki
One point missed, Kia uses India's free trade agreement with South Korea to import electronic parts at low cost and it passes on to customers keeping car prices at comparative range.
❤
india sirf import karta hai aur korean log sirf apna desh ka product leta hai to demand kaan hai indian product ka aur india me sbko foreign product chahiye
@@sauravk6310 actually indian product are not that good in quality and efficiency as compared to product in foreign market, that is the main reason for indian export is low
Not only for Indian brands . They do this for every brands .. in Korea foreign brands can't sustain
@@Cabal294 not true. There are German and Japanese car brands in Korea and they are doing good. They are expensive that's it due to import charges. That's why joint ventures exist in Korea ex: Renault-Samsung Motors
It's only Indian brands which are not doing good in Korea. Same goes with steel co. Korea has POSCO and it's bigger than TATA steel and JSW steel.
There're only two reasons why Citroen not doing well
1. Poor marketing
2. Lack of outlets/ service centres
Lack of features is just an excuse, agree features are important but people can overlooked it if u convinced them properly. Old gen scorpio, many maruti cars don't have much features yet people accept them.
Their team is on drugs. Launching cars suddenly with no marketing and also Launching feature rich VFN Varients of the car after all hype has died. Had they launched the Shine Varient at the beginning, atleast from journalists in social media, it would have received a more positive reviews
Kia had dealership everywhere just before launch
Scorpio & some Maruti cars can still decently despite lack of features because of thier brand name/legacy, resale value and good reliability. All of which a new player like Citroen lacks in the indian market.
The lack of enough after sales touch points and poor marketing further acts as an impediment
marketing is the most important reasons if some automakers want to win over the cars market if the marketing are poor their company should know what's happen in the future because marketing is to make people want to buy your cars
Marketing poor hai....bahut mehngi cars hai Citroen ki....
citroen be like: lets give alto features in fortuner price
Kia Carnival: First time?
C3 shine variant
😂
Funfact : Even Fortuner doesn't justify its price tag as far as features are concerned. 😂
Did you mean C5? It has many features which fortuner doesn't 🤣
Test drove the c3 NA. A very capable and comfortable car. But features which are necessary also , are not in the list. That's why they are lagging in the market. But their sales are getting better by time. I hope pricing of c3 aircross be on spot.
Search "c3 shine variant" they gave everything,even tyre pressure monitor via app, gps geo fencing, auto start stop, electronic stability control, rear viper,defogger, electric orvm, day night rear view irvm, alloy wheels, rear parking camera, great mileage, great power ,great suspension, great handling, heavy sturdy body, high ground clearance, good price , still call it hatchback, exceptional ac, height adjustable driver seat, roomy interiors, .excellent display screen, android auto and apple carplay, 2nd gear range 20 to 100 kph (in city it acts like automatic, no gear change needed)
Yesss definately they improved
C3 aircross will be a failure since it is above 4m which will attract more cess and thereby increasing its price ...no matter how aggressive they want to price it
@@Harinathpillai someone should file case on this is stupid 4m rule, because of this we are not getting good safe cars.. I hate this govt for its anti car policies
Want to buy car 10 to 12 lakhs confused 😂 kya karu?
Citreon has a lot of stylish sedans on their list. Instead they're just selling beefed-up hatchbacks. They need to bring in a sedan that's priced around 15-20 lakhs, if they wish to have any success in India. The best example for this is Skoda's Slavia.
Slavia is not a success my man. Pur roads are really bad are plus people are dumb and want a so called big car (lord spresso)
jb tk chutiya customer hoga india me tb tk development nhi hoga tumlog ke tarah
But sadly sedan market is at a downfall currently
So as a brand it wouldn't be profitable anyway for them
@@darkhrnet7459 there is less competition in sedan market though.
@@vineetaghanghoriya7004dude people are going for mini suv

They are focusing mainly on export. Its very much capable car. I already own Citroen c3 electric. Good mileage and an amazing driving comfort. And has necessary features and an amazing build quality. 4 star ⭐ for child and adult...
bhai electric mein konsa mileage?😀do you mean range?
But why to give this money to a foreign company jb tum apni company ko de skte ho same facilities mein???
bakwaas hai electric. too compact. and laggy too
@@proudgadwali144 Its called personal preference. Even i would not go for Tata or mahindra if they don't match my requirements.
@@Alex-ud4tl what if hey do??? Colonial mindset indians
I have brought a citreon C3 (Turbo) a week before only,
AFTER TEST DRIVING TATA PUNCH,
Maruti Swift Renault and others and trust me, I feel the happiest about my choice!
The engine, power, suspension, ride quality, mileage EVERYTHING is perfectly upto my satisfaction level!
Yes the features were a miss but that too they've improved in newly launched C3-shine variant.
Don't listen to fools Citreon C3 is a beautiful and wonderful car
It's a French car you will be complaining about poor build soon
@@Krankenwagen571 been more than one and a half month so far, I've only been happy about the amazing engine performance, suspension and comfort!
@@shaikshafi1284 you might think that you'll look very smart by saying such generic things but you'll actually not, because Citroën is a brand of 'Stellantis N.V.' which's the same group that owns renowned brands like Alfa Romeo, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, Peugeot etc and if you think these will eventually have a problem "because they're french" 😂
Rolls Royce has outsourced its suspension making business to citroën because they are that good!!
I would recon you to do some research before commenting..
@@ankurtiwari4686 i know that it's part of a big company but even land rover can't have reliability and you very well know that Dodge and Jeep are American carmakers yeah their finances maybe done by new joint company but they manufacture and r &d are seperate
Yes Citroen in itself is an age old brand but I don't trust their reliability
@@shaikshafi1284 and you're forming this opinion on the basis of what?
If you can't trust something there must be a reason right??
The turbo c3 is a good drive but no automatic is a deal breaker. I feel a kiger cvt turbo is the complete package with lotsa features. That said the c3 might have not given features but the turbo engine nd the suspension is a gem. Best in class with the kiger not far behind.
bless them for not ruining turbo c3 with automatic ... just a personal opinion i love manual cars
@@princemehta1443 the turbo c3 is a lotta fun, manuals are amaaazing, offcourse!! But jus daily driving in Mumbai traffic is a migraine!!! That's when I wish I had an automatic. That said, the cvt in a kiger turbo with sports mode has no lag at all, I didn't miss a manual. Citroen shud definitely offer it as an option 🤞
@@dhhavs Just keep in the low gear and do the clutchplay. Easy 🫣. Easier than automatic
@@princemehta1443you loving manual doesn't mean everyone does, bud. Not everyone wants that manual revving while driving. Some just want to get through bumper to bumper traffic.
There are only a few Indian content creator who are producing content which I'm not aware of, but your content feels like breath of fresh air
Citron is not at all bad in terms of driving and Power and comfort,its like for old school enthusiastic people will like it😅
The turbo engine pulls nicely
I think you make videos on current and relevant topics which is really good
I test drove the c3 NA. The dealer also provided a handsome discount and even offered to install rear camera etc free of cost.
my thoughts after the test ride are: its a car.
nothing more, nothing less.
moves nicely and gets the job done. is cheaper than i20, baleno etc too.
but that's all. the ac wasn't too good either (maybe i didn't turn on the ac fully idk) but yea
nothing much fun in the car. When i sat in the Kia Sonet, it felt premium, When i sat inside i20, it felt fun to drive. Citroen needs to do something to make it stand out tbh but its not a bad car at all. Gets the job done and could be a good choice if your budget is around 6-7 lakhs
i20 is like bullock cart, it just doesn't have any power, very soft steering. I don't know how it's fun to drive
@@TheBharathp87drive turbo varinet or diesel. Normal petrol don't do justice. For more sportiness they have n-line varient.
I bought Citroen C3. Very very satisfying experience in driving it because of its comfort. The comparison is irrational as Citroen has very few dealers. But it's catching up...which is making competitors nervous esp Korean companies and Maruthi looks like
Citroen is a new entrant in a highly competitive market, unlike Hyundai which is more than 25 years operational in India. I am certain Citroen has a robust strategy for India. I believe for the price you are paying, it's bang for the buck. I think this RUclips channel is comparing apples with oranges and needs to redefine his logic of this video.
"Har fuli hui hatchback suv nahi hoti"
"india bohot bada hai bhai" both these lines cracked me up😂😂
Bring videos on branding of technologies please🙏...iVTEC, DSG IVT etc
Your topics are on point
Love your content 💥💥
Well said man! Crisp and to the point! Great analysis I should say. Even Guys doing their MBAs can learn a lot from this video.
Could you please make a video on quality controls of major car brands. Im seeing a lot of people are complaining about the paint quality, rust, fit and finish issues, panel gaps, paint thickness, sheet metal thickness etc. Sadly not one youtuber is talking about it despite of all the customers having problems due to manufacture cheapening out or simoly bad quality control.
I am not very sure but feels like their market research team might have confused Indian market with our nabour in the west. - I mean, look at top models of Toyota, Honda and Suzukis running in Pakistan today and these offerings from Citroën falls right in that bracket - both from the lack of features and excessive price front. Pretty strange!
I remember seeing Citroen in WRC as a kid... C3, C4, Xsara driven by Leob and Sordo... Domination and race wins...sad to see such a capable brand being identified by some aircross. What the world has come to...same case with Mitsubishi
Even Renault dominates WrC and F1 however when it comes to India consumer market, people just won't give the same value to Renault.
😢 me too bro..
Love your videos
Always see your notification and watch the videos.
Please upload videos more frequently.
Also 1st view 😀
very well explained i hope the French company car executives watch this and make models more competitive priced vs features they are giving.
Citroen will definitely grow if Indians dont fall for kia like features (not even 1* NCAP not guaranteed by indian Kia models). My father got Nexon few months and Seltos although lookwise us more appealing but veside nexon it looked weak and less sense of confidence at appearance.
When I was purchasing my car, Citroen c3 seemed like a good option but I ended up getting an i10 nios because Citroen is a new company in India. I am uncertain that they would last, they might end up quitting India in a few years like Chevrolet, Fiat or Daewoo and then I'll be stuck with a car with super expensive repairs
Ford also the top carmaker
Citroen is a part of Stellantis. Jeep is Citroen’s cousin
And poor resale value 😂😂😂
Citreon will never exit... They got a gigantic plant in India which mainly exports to latin America...and they make profits by selling engines... Not cars ☝🏻️
@@athuldominicalthough, your comment sounds sensible, guess what happened to Fiat in India?
Bro ignis has 5.5 J alloys the maximum recommended width for the rim is 185 only while it can take 195 sections, 205 is a bit of a stretch…the tyres would bulge out…you also have a section showcasing the problem in fitting the tyre…how are the 195 tyres performing? Any noise or wear seen?
Quality Content, as usual. Have seen all of your videos so far
Since Tata and Mahindra have started working hard on their cars. Indian people have shifted there.
Everything is a fair point and i agree.
I own the C3 Turbo and There is nothing like it in the market and the service has been nothing short of amazing.
idk about others but i'd rather have a well performing rare car than a bunch of cars that are like computers with 4 wheels.
Thats just me.
Nice analysis btw.
How was the service experience?!..and where are you located
I was wondering and had many such questions. Beautifully answered. Keep it up
Bhai aapne bahut hi satik our valuable details share ki hai..... Great and you have Great Knowledge.
I went to La Masion Citroën Bhubaneshwar for C3, but the problem was lack of AMT version! Had to buy Kiger from French car maker Renault!! Many customer were disappointed that they don't sell AMT cars.
Amt not that good but a cvt Or tc they shud definitely give. Kiger is a great buy, absolute value for money!!! 👌👍
Automatic to bacche chalaate hain. kisi bhi brand ki le lo but automatic kyun lena hai bhai. scooty thodi hai. car hai car ke nazariye se dekho. automatic to specially ladkiyon ke liye bani hai
@@sensitive.aquarian well fyi.. in all developed countries automatic versions sell 10 times more than manual versions...whether it is BMW or Merc.. their automatic sells more than manual... not everyone does racing every day... for that a second car like a mustang or even a subaru will do .. not the honda city types
@@mithunk5473 in developed countries, they wipe their ass instead of washing. Just saying.
@@sensitive.aquarian don't be gender biased..mera ek dost physically challenged(leg) hai(ladka)..he drives cvt....i also drive cvt..vw car...awesome experience..man nhi karta hai..manual chalane..ka..typical..patriarchial mentality..sick mentality.
Citroen needs to up their marketing and expand their service network. Then they will surely do better. The new C3 shine turbo MT DT variant seems to be more vfm than the Punch IRA MT DT variant. It solves the "lack of features" issue that the C3 had. It offers all the necessary features but gives you the power of a turbo petrol. I hope that C3 will see a jump in sales because of this variant.
this is same price as sonet htx plus...
@@hacksgeekCitroen much better, is european brand with great history
Nice video.....also would like to add a couple of points...1)Cars are now coming with sunroofs and ventilated seats 2) price and after sales services is very important....if you don't have these then don't expect much sales
Your videos are so entertaining... Just superb..

You need to first see the interview with Citreon MD Recently in autoexpo.. They are pretty happy with selling 9000 cars in their first year in India... Their plan is slow and steady growth with a long time emphasis... Citreon as such is not a mass market based product world over.. they have a niche crowd.. i think in the future .. they would be fine if they can sell around 40 - 50 k cars a year in inda..
niche crowd? lmao
Hai, what will be the cost and dimension of citroen c3 aircross. Is it will be bigger then c3. Pl suggests if any info is available
Very mature content.. keep it up buddy... best wishes.
I brought C3.. I am satisfied with perfomance comapre to other same segment cars.. Reason for slow sale poor marketting strategy and they mainly focused on engerneering not features. Also they are confused about indian customers pulse .. I am sure they will get a good space with in 3 years..
Honestly these Korean brands have ruined our market
The new citreon 7 seater suv is going bring yet another big revolution in the Indian market, specially in-terms of "price-size ratio" after Mahindra Xuv700
XUV700 has good powerful engines, this one will likely offer a 1.2l 3 cylinder mill, albeit with turbo.
@@vm-my6hg PRICE Brother!!!!
Medium sized suv at much compact suv price is First in the segment
@@er.m.s8930 i understand what you're saying, just feel that the Indian buyer has moved on beyond the price as USP proposition a while back.
The triber doesn't sell much compared to the sub 4m SUVs.
@@vm-my6hgCitroen 1.2L turbo with 130hp is powerful
@@gicugigel3790 slightly more powerful, and one doesn't get that in India, the aircross here gets a bit more torque besides the usual 110 bhp.
The reason is, product mein kami hai citron k. Kia saltos jab launch hui thi, Segment mein sabse Jyada features offer kar rahi thi aor citeron sub se kam
I called in Citroen Bengaluru 2-3 times, but no one responded. 4th time got response from Mumbai or Gurgaon sales department and ensure for test drive will be provided by Bangalore dealer but after that talk never got a call again. If the sales department itself is grey then how customer will think about service?
Excellent espisode and good analysis. French car makers have always failed in India, for mainly 2 reasons: 1. They dont fully invest in their Dealership. 2. They are still stuck in the 1930's look and feel and think global audience will like their french taste.. ( I feel Indian Car buyers are very savy of the look and feeel of the car). Also, Service is very important aspect, even a brand like Tata fails today not because they dont have a good car, their service is not par with other Korean and Japanese makers. I think Tata has really played a game changing role with their new models and better quality. I always wonder and appreciate how KIA enterted and captured the market so fast. Even in the US, I see a lot of KIA brands on the raod.
Tata meme, फूली हुई हैचबैक 😂
Btw I love tata, but good one 👌
most people like features and forget cars are cars good powerful and good handling car , strong build quality with air conditioner ofcourse is more than enough... meanwhile people be ye dekho bada touch screen ye dekho gimmick features and crash and cry with there 0 safety
What is your opinion on Nissan future in India. They have only one product Magnite and it's value for Money but is it worth buying considering the Nissan future in India?
Citroen is not doing well as they can
The C3 Turbo is great.... The Car is really quick
Fantastic presentation. Crisp and too the point
I really liked this car when I saw this in malaysia.. really drive me to own it.. but i don't know here if it survives.. due to market saturation for current demand in the class.
I bought the C5 in Dec 2021, done 40k kms , I can tell without a doubt that this car is definitely worth the price tag. I am very happy with the car.
In India, customers prefer cars with lot of features than a solid well engineered car...
most of the features are useless and only for showoff to their Neighbours and and relatives🤣🤣🤣
Wrong. The cars arent even safe. C3 got 0 star in ncaap.
@@SurajSinghTomarArya Don't compare Apple to Watermelon. C3 and C5 are very different, C5 is CKD ...
Citroen cars are great and long lasting. I own one with 170k km, still looks and works like new
"Har fuli hyui hatchback suv nahi hoti" best line

I always wait for your next video !!🤠
People who are Car Rally enthusiasts will definitely own a Citroen if they can. Its a big brand in Europe where Rally circuit is huge and Citroen is the leader. However in India car rallies are rare and nobody knows it or other rally brands so no one follows it. It will be very difficult for Citroen to get a foot hold in India.
Yes I saw a neighbour bought Citroen
Rip to neighbours why did they shitty French when they could have. Tata
Poor souls
Your explanation way us best bro, btw please make a video on pickup trucks market explanation 💛
Soft spokenness and new contents makes your video refreshing.
Bhai aap thumbnail bnane ke liye kaun sa website ya app use krte ho??
Again a nice video bro. I always wait for your post so the bell icon is not relevant for me 😅👍🏻
I still remember when Peugeot 309 was launched in India and I used to spot them on Indian roads but suddenly they disappeared. 😢
The problem with the company is that the started to sell their car in a segment where buys are less entry to indian market with a wrong product which makes them a difficult point to built a trust in a new place and not bring the right product at a right price tag with features is also a negative to the company’s portfolio
Etna badiya analysis hamne kam hi suna hai. Aap sirf aur sirf jarurat ki baat karte ho, dayen bayen baatein nahi karte ho. Excellent, your analysis why this company is unable to sell their car is brilliant. Citroën should listen to you closely & act accordingly. Then they can reach the limit. Boss you are too good. 👏👏👏
Too much informative, Thanks
Bhai your analysis is spot on, these companies should hire you as consultant.
such a great video loved it 👏
Your videos are amazingly informative
Glad to see correct usage of the word 'literally' 👍
Very well covered 😁
This transition @6:30 😂😂😂
Can anyone tell me which CAR was mentioned as graphics to show VENTILATED SEATS by biturbo in this video
You are spot on. Citroen has very less features when compared to others. That is the reason why people are not preferring it. Also if you have arrived and left twice how people will have cofidence on the brand? What did they learn about the Indian market when they are coming for the third time? Nothing.
Price is the only issue C5 is damn expensive and C3 is inexpensive, but it lags behind in safety and other features when compared to punch!
Fortuner ex showroom is 36lacs. Where as Jeep compass ex showroom basemodel is 21lacs. Difference is 15lacs

Phuli hui hatchback...... ekdum sahi....👍👍👍 logo ko Nexon creta ,,,jaisi cars ko suv khne ka hk PTA nhi kisne de diya...
Overall feel good factor lacking along with touch of premium feel, and visibility on road with good marketing, all it takes is just little bit extra effort to reach masses..
Can u please suggest me can I buy citron EC3 ?
Wanted to buy C5 air cross but checked the price, i decided to buy a two room flat in the neighbourhood
We are ready to buy, but the thing is to maintenance petrol is costly than CNG diesel or hybrid. We don't bother about cost but we want cheaper to maintain
Good petrol engine is much cheaper to maintain than diesel
May be c3 or c5 k bajaye name ka effect bhi padta hai.
Jaise hyandai venue ki competition Kia sonet hai etc kafi hai
I wanted to buy C3 there were having home test ride option waited almost 3 weeks.... the company did not made any calls.. so went with punch
Just took a test drive of citreon c3 NA, the showroom person took me to a rough offroad patch, and i had my friend who owns a fortuner and he wasnt able to believe the suspension in action, he told me its giving him a feel of driving fortuner, that alone made my day and i have chosen to go ahead with citreon c3 NA. I tried the c3 aircross turbo too , its comparable to fortuner in terms of comfort for sure. 13.5L car is giving a tough competition for 50L SUV cars
Honestly I would rather chose a car with less sensors and features that depend highly on sensors as malfunctioning of any single sensor can prevent you from using or starting the car. Moreover all the basic and much needed features are carefully provided by citreon
Bhai competition hai .build quality price feature sbhi points per improve karna hoga
Citroën needs to make little changes, like key design, and LED must be there also automatic mirrors
with flagship features on turbo automatic this car will be a game changer ..
May be you made this video before. Now Citroen C3 shine variant gives many features. Turbo variant also available in bs6 phase 2
Forgot about service points and show rooms,I feel that they have come up with no plan hence struggling in the Indian market.
Nicely explained
Interested in citroen EC 4. Please let us know its launch date.
What is difference between a car's features and functionalities ??
Yeah, so far I've just seen 2 Citroens on road in Delhi.
One of the best auto channel ❤🎉.. I just listened this channel bhagbat gita even if I don't understand many things😊😅
❤❤❤❤
14 se 15 lack ke beech full feature ke saath ( full feature) ke saath aayega too bikega nahi to c5 aircross aur c3 jaisa husr hoga.. C3 me bhi full feature ke saath aaye too segment me aacha competition deta....
Isme na to power hai na hi features. I went to see the car and considered it to be an option. When AC was on, it was so difficult to pickup on a minor slope, I had to turn off AC to move. Eventually bought i20
People are sacred of spare parts price and availability in market & car itself.
Now a days people are getting more conscious for safety rated cars..
Very informative video
Reason is lack of features and lots of cost cutting, also less service centre and dealership network
same thing happening with mahindra i australia .. very less dealers and cars r underpowered to them
