Design That Dazzles
The Basalt’s teaser images offer a tantalizing glimpse of its alluring design. The most striking feature is its sleek, sloping roofline, giving it a coupe-like silhouette that exudes sportiness and sophistication. While it shares some similarities with the C3 Aircross, the Basalt boasts unique touches that set it apart.
Up front, it sports a bold split grille, a gleaming chrome Chevron emblem, and a rugged faux silver skid plate. But what truly distinguishes it are the projector LED headlights, a step up from the C3 Aircross’s halogen lights.
Along the sides, you’ll find stylish plastic cladding, squared-off wheel arches, and eye-catching alloy wheels. The rear of the Basalt is where it truly shines, with sportier taillights and glossy black accents that add a touch of drama.

Comfort & Technology: A Haven of Luxury
Step inside the Basalt, and you’ll be greeted by an oasis of comfort and cutting-edge technology. Dedicated armrests for both front and rear passengers ensure a relaxing ride. Rear passengers will appreciate the thoughtfully integrated cupholders and phone holder in the armrest. And for added support, the headrests feature side bolstering.
Citroen hasn’t skimped on technology either. The Basalt boasts a 10.25-inch free-standing touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster that keeps you informed, and seamless smartphone connectivity for navigation and entertainment on the go. Wireless charging and a host of other features complete the modern tech package.
Safety is paramount, and the Basalt delivers with six airbags, ABS with EBD, and a 360-degree camera system for ultimate peace of mind.

Powertrain: A Familiar Yet Capable Heart
While Citroen remains tight-lipped about the exact powertrain details, we expect the Basalt to share its foundation with the C3 Aircross. This means a peppy 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, likely paired with either a manual or a torque converter automatic transmission. This engine delivers a spirited 109 bhp and 190 Nm of torque (205 Nm in the automatic variant).
