<h2>Citroen Basalt: Exterior</h2>

<p>The Basalt looks very similar to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/citroen/c3-aircross/">C3 Aircross</a> from the front. But, it appears quite different in profile with its sleek&nbsp;alloy wheels and a sloping roofline which extends&nbsp;down to&nbsp;the boot lid and merges&nbsp;with a sizeable tailboard. On the back, the model gets wraparound LED tail lamps, a silver skid plate, and a dual-tone bumper.&nbsp;The Basalt is also similar to the C3 Aircross in terms of size, measuring about 4,300mm in length.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Citroen Basalt: Features, Safety Kit</h2>

<p><img alt="Citroen Basalt interior" src="/uploads/2024/08/Citroen-Basalt-interior.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>The dashboard of the Basalt too has been largely carried over from the C3 Aircross. The latter's dashboard features a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a&nbsp;7.0-inch digital driver’s display. Aside from that, the Basalt gets electric folding mirrors, rear AC vents, keyless entry, automatic climate control,&nbsp;a 15W wireless smartphone charger, and&nbsp;push-button start/stop. A major highlight is that the rear bench&nbsp;seat has adjustable thigh support, which is a segment-first feature.&nbsp;</p>

It will soon get a rival in the form of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/tata/curvv/">Tata Curvv</a> coupe-SUV, which is due to launch on September 2, 2024.&nbsp;</p>


Citroen Basalt Full Price List Revealed in India, Automatic Variant Starts at Rs 12.79 Lakh

Citroen India has finally announced prices for the entire lineup of the Basalt coupe-SUV. The new Basalt can be had in three variants - You, Plus, and Max. Introductory prices start at Rs 7.99 lakh and go up to Rs 13.62 lakh (ex-showroom).

<p>Just days after its global debut, Citroen India&nbsp;has&nbsp;announced the price of the Basalt SUV.&nbsp;The model is now available for&nbsp;purchase at&nbsp;an ex-showroom price&nbsp;of Rs 7.99 lakh.

<h2>Citroen Basalt: Exterior Appearance</h2>

<p><img alt="Citroen Basalt Rear" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/08/Citroen-Basalt-rear.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The Citroen Basalt has mostly stuck to the initial design sketches unveiled earlier this year; the main distinction is that the body cladding is now finished in a typical matte plastic rather than the originally intended gloss black. Moreover, the design is strikingly similar to the C3 Aircross SUV, which serves as the foundation for the Basalt. Except for the grille inserts' slightly altered finish, the fascia is almost identical to the C3 Aircross. It features a two-part grille, a faux silver skid plate for the chin, and the same chrome-lined Chevron logo at the top. Furthermore, the bonnet and the LED daytime running lamp signature are carried over as well. The Basalt, however, gets projector headlamps, which is a pleasant addition and a first for a C-cubed model for our market.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It also has squared-off cladding over the wheel arches, a pinched window line on both sides, and a smoothly flowing roofline meeting the high deck of the boot lid. The car&nbsp;rolls on sleek 17-inch alloy wheels, but the C3 Aircross's pull-style door handles are present. The short, stubby back end is adorned with a robust, black-and-silver dual-tone bumper, well-contoured tailgate, and halogen taillamps with a 3D effect.</p>

<h2>Citroen Basalt: Powertrain Options</h2>

<p>In terms of mechanics, the Basalt features the brand's Gen 3 Puretech petrol mill with a 1.2-litre capacity. This unit is available in two configurations: naturally aspirated (NA) and turbo, both with three cylinders. The former can belt out 80bhp of maximum power and 115Nm of peak torque, whereas the latter produces 109bhp and 205Nm of torque. The turbo-petrol engine, with a six-speed manual or an optional six-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, achieves 19.5km/l and 18.7km/l, respectively. The NA petrol engine, on the other hand, delivers 18km/l of fuel efficiency with a sole five-speed manual gearbox.</p>

<h2>Citroen Basalt: Interior and Feature Set</h2>

<p>The car has a cabin comparable to the C3 Aircross and can seat up to five people. It has&nbsp;a light beige leatherette fabric with a hexagonal pattern. In addition to a three-point seatbelt, cup holders, and a foldable armrest, the rear bench has a fixed headrest in the middle.</p>

<p>The features list of the Citroen's Coupe SUV comprises a seven-inch digital instrument cluster, rear air conditioning vents, a multifunction steering wheel with mounted controls, an automatic climate control system, a wireless phone charging pad, rear air conditioning vents, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless integration for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. One of the unique features of the Basalt is that the rear seat can be adjusted by 87mm to provide under-thigh support. However, it lacks several amenities that other competitors provide, including an ADAS suite, motorised front seats, ventilated seats, and a panoramic sunroof.</p>

<p>Constructed using 85% premium steel, the Citroen Basalt comes equipped with six airbags (front, side, and curtain) as standard. Other safety features include a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), an electronic stability control (ESC), ISOFIX child seat mounts, seatbelt reminder, a hill hold assist (HSA), and a rear parking camera with parking sensors.</p>


Citroen Basalt Coupe SUV Launched at Rs 7.99 Lakh in India

In terms of mechanics, the Citroen Basalt SUV features the brand's Gen 3 Puretech petrol mill with a 1.2-litre capacity. This unit is available in two configurations: naturally aspirated (NA) and turbo, both with three cylinders.

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/citroen/">Citroen</a> will launch its new&nbsp;Basalt coupe-SUV on August 9 in India. Upon launch, the&nbsp;Citroen Basalt&nbsp;will be the company's fourth model for India under the&nbsp;C-Cubed plan and will rival the upcoming Tata Curvv coupe-SUV in the mass-market SUV segment.&nbsp;The latter will be launched on September 2, 2024.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Citroen Basalt, which&nbsp;sits on the same Stellantis Smart Car platform that underpins the C3 and the C3 Aircross, looks very similar to the&nbsp;C3 Aircross from the front. But, it appears quite different in profile with its new alloys as well as&nbsp;a sloping roofline extending down to&nbsp;the boot lid and merging&nbsp;with a sizeable tailboard. On the back, the model gets wraparound LED tail lamps, a silver skid plate, and a dual-tone bumper.&nbsp;The Basalt is also similar to the C3 Aircross in terms of size, measuring about 4,300mm in length.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Citroen Basalt: Interior, Features&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Revealed last week, the&nbsp;Citroen Basalt&nbsp;carries over the dashboard from the C3 Aircross. The latter's dashboard features a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as&nbsp;a&nbsp;7.0-inch digital driver’s display. Aside from that, the Basalt gets electric folding mirrors, keyless entry, automatic climate control,&nbsp;a 15W wireless smartphone charger, and&nbsp;push-button start/stop. A major highlight is that the rear bench&nbsp;seat has adjustable thigh support, a segment-first feature.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Safety-wise, Citroen has equipped the Basalt with&nbsp;a 360-degree camera, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), hill-hold assist, six airbags, an anti-lock braking system (ABS), a rear parking camera, and an electronic stability control (ESC).&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Citroen Basalt: Powertrain</h2>

<p>The Citroen Basalt employs two engine options&nbsp;– a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol and a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated. The former produces&nbsp;108bhp and 205Nm, while the latter makes 81bhp and 115Nm. The&nbsp;naturally aspirated unit is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, while the turbo-petrol engine also gets&nbsp;a 6-speed torque converter automatic.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the turbo-petrol engine yields 19.5km/l with a manual gearbox and 18.7km/l with an automatic, the naturally aspirated&nbsp;petrol engine delivers&nbsp;18km/l&nbsp;of fuel efficiency.</p>

In terms of market competition, the coupe-SUV will take on the&nbsp;Tata Curvv, Hyundai Creta, Honda Elevate, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, Kia Seltos, and the MG Astor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Except for its unique side profile and new alloy wheel design, the Basalt's exterior design is mostly reminiscent of&nbsp;that of its sibling, the C3 Aircross. From the front, the model looks quite like the C3 Aircross, with the same split grille, faux silver skid plate, and chrome Chevron emblem. It uses projector LED headlamps instead of halogen ones, even though the LED DRLs are the same as on the C3 Aircross. The roofline extends to the boot lid and combines with a sizable tailboard to offer excellent boot accessibility while preserving the coupé-like look. Maintaining the side profile, it features robust fenders that accentuate the car's posture and are complemented by the angular form of the wheel arches. The body cladding has a matte finish. Compared to the ones seen on the concept model, the alloy wheels are smaller and fitted with different tyres.&nbsp;</p>
