Which Citroen Car is Coming to India?
Citroen will bring a coupe SUV, Basalt, to India. This will be the fourth model in the brand’s C-cubed project in India. It will be a direct rival to the upcoming Tata Curvv.
What is Citroen Basalt?
Citroen Basalt is a coupe-like SUV that is expected to be the next offering in the Indian market. It is basically an SUV with a Coupe-like roofline. It has a strongly tapered roofline that merges with the glass area to give a fast-back or coupe-like design.
What is the difference between Citroen C3 Aircross and Citroen Basalt?
The Basalt will be based on the same Common Modular Platform (CMP) that underpins other Citroen cars such as C3, eC3, and C3 Aircross. Even the powertrain option is expected to be the same as C3 Aircross. However, the upcoming Basalt will boast a unique body styling along with a tech-loaded interior. This will be a premium offering from the brand, setting it apart from the C3 Aircross.
What is the price of Citroen Basalt in India?
The Citroen Basalt will be positioned above the C3 Aircross which is priced between Rs 9.99 lakh to Rs 14.33 lakh (ex-showroom). As for the Basalt, we can assume a bit of premium pricing, somewhere around Rs 11 lakh to Rs 16 lakh (ex-showroom).
How Tall is the Citroen Basalt?
The accurate dimensions of the coupe SUV have not been revealed yet. It will be a premium alternative to the C3 Aircross and will measure around 4.3 meters in length. Due to the sloping roofline, we expect Basalt to have a shorter height compared to the C3 Aircross’ 1665mm height.
What is the Power of Citroen Basalt?
It will be powered by the same engine as the C3 Aircross, we can assume a similar power output for the Basalt. The power and torque of 1.2-litre turbo-charged petrol stands at 109 bhp and 190 Nm, respectively, however, Citroen might tweak the state of tune for the Basalt.
How is the Citroen Basalt Interior?
Unlike C3 Aircross, the new Basalt will offer a premium-looking interior layout with more tech features. Some of the amenities might include a dual screen for touchscreen infotainment and instrument console, automatic climate control, cruise control, wireless charging, tilt & telescopic adjustable steering wheel, and more.
What is the Citroen Basalt Mileage?
Citroen has not revealed the mileage of its upcoming Basalt coupe SUV. As for the C3 Aircross mileage, it is 17.6 for the automatic petrol and 18.5 kmpl for the manual petrol variant.
Does the Citroen Basalt Have a Diesel Powertrain?
No, the Citroen Basalt will be powered by a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine. There is no news regarding its diesel engine addition for now.
What is the Citroen Basalt Launch Date?
Citroen Basalt will make its debut in production avatar on August 2, 2024, While the exact launch date is yet to be revealed, we expect the prices of the SUV Coupe could be revealed in late August or in September 2024.
What are the Citroen Basalt Specifications?
Citroen Basalt will be powered by a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine. This engine can produce a maximum power of 109 bhp and 190 Nm of torque. Transmission options will include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
Compare the Citroen Basalt with Tata Curvv
Citroen Basalt will be a great competitor to Tata Curvv due to its unique body styling. Both cars will come with a catchy exterior design and feature-loaded interior. While the Basalt will be offered with one turbo-petrol engine, the Curvv will be available with petrol, diesel, and electric variants.
