Citroen has officially revealed its highly anticipated Basalt, a sleek and stylish coupe SUV that promises to shake up the market. Scheduled for a release in the second half of 2024, the Basalt directly rivals the recently unveiled Tata Curvv, offering a unique blend of sporty design, spacious interiors, and innovative features.
Striking Design That Turns Heads
The Citroen Basalt boasts a captivating notchback design, seamlessly merging the elegance of a sedan with the rugged stance of an SUV. The front features a familiar grille reminiscent of the C3 Aircross, complemented by modern LED headlights. Tweaked bumpers, striking alloy wheels, and prominent wheel arches add a touch of dynamism. The rear steals the show with its eye-catching wraparound LED taillights, a silver faux skid plate, and a prominent Citroen logo taking center stage.
A Tech-Forward Cabin for a Comfortable Ride
Stepping inside the Citroen Basalt reveals a driver-centric and technologically advanced cabin designed for comfort and convenience. A large infotainment screen with wireless connectivity takes the center stage, promising seamless access to your favorite entertainment options. A digital driver’s display keeps all the vital information within easy view, while keyless entry and wireless charging provide a touch of luxury. Automatic climate control ensures a pleasant journey regardless of the weather, and cruise control allows for effortless highway cruising.
Safety Features to Keep You Protected
Citroen prioritizes safety in the Basalt, equipping it with a comprehensive suite of safety features. Six airbags come standard, offering protection for passengers in the event of a collision. A rear parking camera with sensors aids in parking maneuvers, while ISOFIX child seat mounts and TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) ensure the safety of your little ones.
Engineered for Performance and Efficiency
While Citroen remains tight-lipped about the official engine specifications, speculations point towards the Citroen Basalt inheriting the proven powertrain from the C3 Aircross. This translates to a likely 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine churning out 109bhp and 205Nm of torque. The engine is expected to be paired with either a smooth-shifting six-speed manual transmission or a convenient torque converter unit.
A Commitment to Innovation and Customer Satisfaction
Thierry Koskas, CEO of Citroen, expressed his enthusiasm at the unveiling, stating, “We are thrilled to introduce the Basalt, a groundbreaking concept that embodies bold design, spacious interiors, and unparalleled comfort. Developed and produced locally, we are confident that the Basalt will resonate with a wide range of customers and solidify our position in key markets. We eagerly await sharing more details in the coming months.”
