Citroen Basalt

| Review & Win
This is India’s first coupe SUV and one of the most value-for-money offerings in the industry. For a car that measures over 4 meters in length, a starting price of 8 lakh is excellent. The Basalt is also the most spacious family car at this price point and comes with a choice of two engines. These include a 1.2-litre non-turbo petrol and a similar capacity turbo unit. 
Though not as feature-loaded as its rivals, the Basalt offers a great ride, easy controls and a large boot. Citroen's lack of network in India might hinder some buyers.

Expert Verdict on Basalt

Design8
Interior8
Engine9

This is a genuine effort by Citroen to get a share of the segment. The Basalt is a practical, no-nonsense product that offers high levels of comfort, class-leading space and easy-to-drive manners. It is an easy-going car, and I love the turbo petrol-automatic combination that makes it a peppy vehicle for enthusiasts. While it is not feature-loaded and crash test ratings might be average, at the given price, the Basalt will be on the radar of many new car buyers. If you have a Citroen outlet in your city, do see this one in person and take an extended test drive as well.

Pros & Cons of Citroen Basalt

  • What we admire in this car

    • Excellent value for money : mid-size SUV at the price of a sub 4m offering
    • A very comfortable ride set-up, something that Citroens are known for
    • Spacious cabin, even tall rear passengers will not have a reason to complain
    • 470-litre boot is bigger than even the Honda Elevate!
    • Easy to drive manners - good visibility and light controls
    • 1.2-litre turbo petrol is punchy and the 6-speed AT responsive
  • What could have been better

    • Features like sunroof, push button start, cruise control, auto lamps etc missing
    • No automatic (or even AMT) with non-turbo petrol. No CNG or diesel either
    • Limited dealer network - only 85 outlets across India at launch
    • Bharat crash test ratings might be average at best

Should I buy the Basalt?

If you consider upgrading from a small car to a bigger one, the Citroen Basalt is a strong contender. It is a good family car with a spacious cabin, big boot and excellent ride quality. We love how it drives and the coupe SUV design looks nice on the road. The car is easy on the pocket too and has substantial ground clearance for big speed breakers and poor roads. 
However, if features is what you seek, the Basalt might not be for you. It is also a lesser known brand and re-sale value won’t be strong. This is a perfect case of head vs heart : we suggest you take an extended test drive to decide.

Design 8
  • The Basalt’s front end has familiarity with the current crop of models on sale from Citroen in India. The sharp, narrow DRLs and chrome inserts in the grille look great. 
  • The side profile showcases the length of the car, being almost 10% longer than the cars it is priced along with. The C pillar is wide and extends into the boot for a coupe look.
  • The top-spec versions get multispoke 16-inch alloys and matt black cladding all around for a butch SUV look. Ground clearance is rated at 180 mm.
  • The rear of the Basalt is unique for the segment. This is a wide car and gets an in-built boot spoiler and a little wing above the rear windshield. Tail lamps wrap around the rear body panel and give the Basalt a unique identity on the road.
  • Both the front and rear of the car get pseudo skid plates finished in silver. The Citroen Basalt will be sold in both single-tone and dual-tone options.

    The structure of Citroen Basalt is very hard and sturdy. At critical areas like front fender, roof and A pillar the company have used ultra high strength steel which makes me feel safe while driving on express ways.
