Citroen Basalt: Powertrain, Price

Under the hood, the Citroen Basalt gets two engine options – 1.2-litre turbo-petrol and 1.2-litre naturally aspirated (NA) petrol. The former produces 108bhp and 205Nm of peak torque, while the latter makes 81bhp and 115Nm. The naturally aspirated unit is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox only, while the turbo-petrol engine gets a 6-speed torque converter automatic and a 6-speed manual gearbox.

The You is the entry point to the Basalt family and can be had with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine only, while the mid-spec Plus employs three powertrain options: 1.2-litre NA, 1.2-litre turbo-MT, and 1.2-litre turbo-AT. The Max is the top-spec variant in the lineup, with only a turbo-petrol engine. Here's a close look at the variant-wise pricing of the Citroen Basalt: 

Citroen Basalt: Exterior

The Basalt looks very similar to the C3 Aircross from the front. But, it appears quite different in profile with its sleek alloy wheels and a sloping roofline which extends down to the boot lid and merges with a sizeable tailboard. On the back, the model gets wraparound LED tail lamps, a silver skid plate, and a dual-tone bumper. The Basalt is also similar to the C3 Aircross in terms of size, measuring about 4,300mm in length. 

Citroen Basalt: Features, Safety Kit

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 7.0-inch digital driver’s display. Aside from that, the Basalt gets electric folding mirrors, rear AC vents, keyless entry, automatic climate control, a 15W wireless smartphone charger, and push-button start/stop. A major highlight is that the rear bench seat has adjustable thigh support, which is a segment-first feature.
