Citroen has launched its latest coupe-SUV in India. The company has introduced it at an initial starting price of Rs 7.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This price will currently be applicable only to those customers who have booked before 31 October. Looking at this price, it would not be wrong to say that this new car can give a tough competition to Tata Nexon. Let us tell you that Nexon’s 1.2-liter Revotron turbocharged petrol engine and 1.5-liter Revotorq turbocharged diesel engine variants are available at an initial price of Rs 8 lakh (ex-showroom).

Citroen has only revealed the starting price of the Basalt, and the full price list is expected to be released in the coming days. The new SUV Basalt looks quite similar to the Citroen C3 Aircross, with the same V-shaped pattern for LED DRLs and a split grille. It also gets LED projector headlights. Its front bumper has a silver finish with red color, which gives it a sporty touch.

The look of the car is beautiful
The Citroen Basalt is offered in five monotone colour options, namely Polar White, Steel Grey, Platinum Grey, Cosmo Blue and Garnet Red. It is also available in two dual-tone options, namely Polar White with Platinum Grey roof, and Garnet Red with Perla Nera Black roof.

It has a coupe roofline in shape and gets 16-inch alloy wheels with dual-tone finish. At the rear, it gets wraparound halogen tail lights with a black-out bumper.

The cabin of the Basalt also looks similar to the company’s SUV C3 Aircross, including a similar dashboard, dual digital display (10.25-inch touchscreen system and 7-inch digital driver display), and the design of the AC vents.

It includes automatic AC, wireless phone charger and adjustable under-thigh support (up to 87mm) for the rear seats. However, the only thing that customers might miss is a sunroof. If it had a sunroof, it would have made this car even more beautiful.

Its safety kit includes six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), a rear parking camera and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

Citroen Basalt is available in two options. One is a 1.2 L petrol engine that generates 82 hp and 115 Nm of power and is only available with a 5-speed manual. The other option is a 110 hp turbo petrol engine mated to a 6-speed torque converter automatic (205Nm).
