Citroen Basalt power and torque explained

The Basalt keeps things simple with two petrol engines, both 1.2 litre. One is a normal petrol with no turbo. The other adds a turbo, which changes how the car pulls away.

The plain 1.2 petrol is the easygoing choice that likes a few more revs. The 1.2 turbo feels stronger low down, so it gets moving with less effort in daily use.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 1.2L Petrol spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The 1.2 petrol makes 82 PS at 5750 rpm and peak torque of 115 Nm at 3750 rpm. Peak power sits a full 2000 rpm above the torque peak, so this engine likes to be revved. It is content with calm city driving and lighter loads. For a hill or a quick overtake, drop a gear first and let it climb. It suits a budget buyer whose trips stay short, and you can compare both engines across trims before you choose.

The 1.2 turbo steps up to 110 PS at 5500 rpm, with 190 Nm from just 1750 rpm in the manual and 205 Nm in the automatic. That strong torque arrives very low, so it pulls hard from few revs and rarely needs a downshift. It stays willing across a broad 3750 rpm span, which helps on the highway and with a full car. This is the engine for regular long drives, relaxed overtakes and carrying the whole family. For the fuller picture on space, boot and features, read the full Basalt rundown.
