It is expected to come with a modern interior, new seat upholstery, and dual digital displays for the 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment and the 7-inch instrument console. Other amenities include automatic climate control, wireless Android and Apple CarPlay, push start/stop, cruise control, tilt & telescopic adjustable steering wheel, and wireless charging.

Specifications

The upcoming Basalt Coupe SUV will be powered by the 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine. This unit can be paired with both manual and automatic transmissions. The power output of this engine stands at 108 bhp and 205 Nm of torque, however, for the Basalt's engine, the state of tune can go higher.
