Plus Turbo AT Price and Specs, Citroen Basalt

The Plus Turbo AT is the most affordable automatic Basalt at ₹12.67 lakh. It runs the 1.2-litre turbo petrol, now rated at 110 PS and 205 Nm, through an automatic gearbox. Economy is a claimed 18.7 kmpl, with front-wheel drive and five seats. This is the mid Plus trim with two pedals instead of three.

The automatic actually makes more torque than the manual turbo, 205 Nm against 190 Nm, which helps low-speed response. That ease comes with a small economy cost, since 18.7 kmpl trails the manual turbo's 19.5 kmpl. You get the convenience on the mid Plus trim. Peak torque now spreads from 1750 to 2500 rpm for stronger mid-range response.

This is the entry point if you want a Basalt automatic without stretching to the Max Turbo AT. It suits city drivers who value clutch-free running with turbo torque on tap. Step up to the Max Turbo AT for more equipment at a higher price. Or save money and shift yourself with the manual Plus Turbo.
