Citroen Basalt Overview

Styling sets the Citroen Basalt apart from the crowd, since it wears a sloping coupe roofline over an SUV body. It is a five seat car aimed at buyers who want the height of an SUV with a sleeker shape. The result looks sharp without giving up much practicality.

Power comes from a 1.2 litre petrol in two forms. The naturally aspirated engine works with a 5 speed manual for calm city use. The turbo engine steps things up, offered with a 6 speed manual or a 6 speed automatic. That turbo suits drivers who value a quick response.

The lineup holds fourteen trims, priced from ₹8.55 Lakh for the You to ₹14.11 Lakh for the Max Turbo AT DT. The Plus and Plus Turbo trims sit in the sweet spot for most buyers. To see the differences laid out, walk through the Basalt trim range.

As a daily car, the Basalt blends looks with real usefulness. The 470 litre boot is one of the largest in its class, and the coupe roof still leaves usable rear headroom. The long 2651 mm wheelbase gives a settled ride on the highway. Cabin storage is thoughtful for family trips. Ground clearance of 180 mm copes with typical Indian roads. The wide track lends the car a planted stance in corners. Once a trim stands out, see the Basalt colour choices.

For a buyer who wants an SUV that looks different and carries plenty, the Basalt earns a close look. It pairs a bold shape with a big boot and easy going manners.
