Citroen Basalt Turbo priced from Rs 11.49 lakh

Citroen India has announced the complete price list for the Basalt, ranging from Rs 7.99 lakh (as revealed earlier) to Rs 13.62 lakh. As we reported earlier, the coupe-SUV comes with both naturally aspirated and turbo-petrol engine options, with the turbo one getting an automatic gearbox. Deliveries will start in the first week of September.

Basalt Turbo price range is Rs 11.49 lakh-13.62 lakh
Basalt automatic is available in two variants
Dual tone finish costs an additional Rs 21,000

The Basalt’s line-up includes the 82hp, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine in the entry-level You variant (Rs 7.99 lakh), and the mid-spec Plus trim (Rs 9.99 lakh). The 110hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol range consists of the Plus trim (starting at Rs 11.49 lakh) and the Max variant (from Rs 12.28 lakh). A 6-speed torque converter automatic is offered with both turbo-petrol trims, for an additional cost of Rs 1.3 lakh-1.34 lakh.

Citroen has also revealed that a dual-tone finish is available only with the top-spec Max variants, for an outlay of Rs 21,000.

Bookings for the Basalt opened on August 9 with a payment of Rs 11,001, and test drives have started today. Compared to rivals in the midsize SUV segment, such as the Creta and Grand Vitara — priced from around Rs 11 lakh to over Rs 20 lakh for top-spec variants — the Citroen Basalt comes across as a very competitively priced product.

The top-spec Basalt Max variant features a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital instrument cluster, auto climate control, six airbags, ESC, a rear camera, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. Citroen has ensured that the Basalt is well enough differentiated from the C3 Aircross, despite their similar price points.
