Citroen revealed their made-for-India coupe SUV, the Basalt, on March 28, 2024. A few weeks later, a pre-production test mule of the 2024 Citroen Basalt was spied undisguised on the streets of Chennai. The latest spy shots reveal a new paint option as well as a few exterior details of the upcoming Tata Curvv rival.

Citroen Basalt To Get Brown Colour Option

The Citroen Basalt that was spied recently was finished in a new brown paint which is currently not on offer on any other Citroen product. The latest spy shots also show the sloping roofline and the tailgate of the upcoming Citroen SUV. Other notable design highlights seen in the spy shots include wraparound LED tail lamps, flip-style door handles, and a steeply raked rear windscreen with a high-mount stop lamp.

Citroen Basalt Interior And Features Spied

Spy shots of the Citroen Basalt from a few weeks ago revealed the coupe SUV’s cabin. Right off the bat, we can confirm the Basalt will feature the same dashboard and feature list as the C3 Aircross C-segment SUV.

The spy shots show details such as the 10.23-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 7-inch digital driver’s display, AC knobs with a satin chrome finish, and manual day/night inside rearview mirror (IRVM). Like the C3 Aircross, the Basalt is not likely to feature automatic climate control. It is also likely to miss out on features like cruise control and keyless entry.

Expected Powertrain Options

Although Citroen haven’t revealed the powertrain specifications of the 2024 Basalt, we expect it to feature the same engine and transmission as the C3 Aircross. So expect the Basalt to launch with a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine that produces 110PS of powr and 190Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. Citroen have confirmed they are working on an automatic transmission for the C3 Aircross, so we can expect this new transmission to find its way into the Basalt as well. We also expect Citroen to launch the Basalt EV to rival the Tata Curvv EV sometime in early 2025. Citroen plan to reveal more information about the Basalt by the middle of 2024, so stay tuned for more details.
