Introduction

The SUV coupe segment in India is heating up rapidly. Car buyers want something different from regular SUVs today. Citroën has answered this demand with the new Basalt X. This isn’t just another update to an existing model.

The Citroen Basalt X brings fresh design elements and premium features. French engineering meets Indian road conditions perfectly here. What makes this “X” model stand out in a crowded market? The answer lies in its unique combination of style and substance.

From advanced tech to enhanced safety ratings, the Basalt X changes expectations. Let’s see what sets this SUV-coupe apart from its competitors.

What’s New in the Basalt X

The Basalt X introduces several visual upgrades that catch attention immediately. The front grille now features distinctive LED daytime strips.

Exterior Changes:

    • New ‘X’ badge prominently displayed on the tailgate

    • Dual-tone 16-inch alloy wheels with fresh styling

    • Optional dual-tone roof finish for added personality

  •  

The cabin gets a complete makeover with premium materials. A new tan-and-black colour scheme replaces the previous design. Bronze-colored trim inserts add elegance throughout the dashboard. The leatherette-wrapped surfaces feel more upscale than before..

Tech and Comfort Inside

Modern drivers expect their cars to work seamlessly with smartphones. The Basalt X delivers this with advanced connectivity features.

Digital Experience:

    • 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system takes centre stage

    • Wireless phone mirroring eliminates cable hassles

    • The 7-inch digital driver’s display shows trip information clearly

Ventilated front seats, Ambient lighting, Wireless charging pad, and the rear armrest includes cupholders for passenger convenience. Push-button start/stop and keyless entry add convenience. Auto-dimming IRVM reduces glare. The optional 360-degree camera system costs extra, but the feature makes parking in tight spaces easier.

Safety Assured

Safety remains the top priority for family car buyers today. The Basalt X takes this responsibility seriously with comprehensive protection.

Core Safety Systems:

    • Six airbags protect all passengers during impacts

    • ABS with EBD prevents wheel lockup under hard braking

    • The Electronic Stability Programme keeps the car stable on curves

ISOFIX mounts, Hill-hold assist, TPMS monitors tyre pressure, and Rear parking sensors help add up to the overall driving experience. The 4-star BNCAP safety rating validates these protection systems. This rating puts the Basalt X among safer vehicles in its segment.

Performance Options

Two engine options cater to different driving preferences and needs.

1.2-Litre Naturally Aspirated:

    • 82bhp power and 115Nm torque

    • Paired with a 5-speed manual transmission

  •  

1.2-Litre Turbo-Petrol:

    • 110hp power and 205Nm torque

    • 6-speed manual or automatic transmission

  •  

The naturally aspirated engine offers simplicity and lower maintenance costs. The turbo variant provides extra punch when you need it. The reliable motors which we already see on Citroen C3 offer great efficiency. Both engines handle Indian traffic conditions well. Choose based on your driving style and requirements.
