Citroen Basalt Features And Overview

The Citroen Basalt is a five seat coupe SUV, with a roofline that slopes down to a 470 litre boot. Citroen now sells it as the BasaltX, priced from ₹8.55 Lakh for the You to ₹14.11 Lakh for the Max Turbo AT DT, ex-showroom.

It shares its two 1.2 litre petrol engines with the Aircross. The 82 PS version comes with a 5 speed manual, while the 110 PS turbo offers a 6 speed manual or a 6 speed torque converter automatic on the Plus and Max.

Every Basalt has six airbags, stability control, hill hold, ISOFIX mounts and rear parking sensors, and Citroen's brochure shows a four star Bharat NCAP rating for adults and children. Tyre pressure monitoring is fitted to every version except the 82 PS You.

Rear seat comfort is the Basalt's party piece. Citroen quotes 980 mm of second row legroom, and the higher trims add a Smart-Tilt cushion that gives three steps of thigh support. The Basalt trim guide shows which versions have it.

It suits you if you want a coupe SUV look and a big boot without moving past ₹15 Lakh. Since registration costs differ by state, check the Basalt's on-road price for your city.
