Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

The Citroen Basalt impresses with its distinct SUV-coupe styling and competitive engine performance, making it an attractive choice in the sub-14 lakh petrol SUV segment. It offers a well-balanced 1199 cc turbocharged petrol engine delivering up to 109 bhp and 205 Nm torque, which provides confident city and highway driving. The spacious cabin with adjustable rear underthigh support and a 10-inch touchscreen equipped with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay enhance comfort and connectivity. Safety features like 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, and a 4-star Bharat NCAP rating, boost confidence in safety. While it may not lead in outright mileage, its 18 to 19.5 kmpl claim is respectable for its class. The Basalts unique styling, feature-rich interiors, and assured quality give it a niche edge over more conventional rivals, though its best suited for those prioritizing style and comfort over purely budget-conscious running costs. Overall, it strikes a nice balance between style, safety, and tech for buyers seeking something fresh and practical from an Indian petrol SUV.

Price

Pricing details and changes

In India, the Citroen Basalt is priced between approximately 8.32 lakh to 14.1 lakh ex-showroom, varying by variant and transmission choice. The manual variants start around 8.3 lakh, while the turbocharged automatic and higher trims, including the Dark Edition, climb close to 14.1 lakh ex-showroom. On-road prices in major cities typically add around 1 lakh to 1.5 lakh, depending on state taxes, insurance, and registration fees, so expect on-road costs from around 9.3 lakh to upwards of 15 lakh. This pricing positions the Basalt competitively against other subcompact SUVs with petrol powertrains. Given its premium features, refined turbo engine, and distinct design, the price is justified within its segment. It offers good value for buyers desiring a feature-loaded, stylish SUV-coupe without stepping into the more expensive electric or hybrid categories that currently dominate urban luxury buyers. Being a relatively new offering with limited sales so far, Citroen may also offer attractive deals or discounts to gain a stronger foothold in the Indian market.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The Citroen Basalt delivers an ARAI-certified mileage range between 18 and 19.5 kmpl in petrol variants, depending on whether you opt for manual or automatic transmission. Real-world figures tend to hover around 17.5 to 17.7 kmpl, which is decent for a 1.2L turbo petrol SUV. Considering petrol prices in India and the Basalts balanced fuel efficiency, it represents an acceptable running cost for an SUV of this size and power. If mileage and lower fuel expenses are a priority, its worth considering the manual variant, which generally offers marginally better fuel economy.

Citroen is poised to make a significant impact on India's electric vehicle landscape with the upcoming launch of the **Basalt EV**. Expected to debut in the second half of 2025, this all-electric SUV-coupe represents the brand's ambitious move to capture the aspirational yet budget-conscious EV buyer. Following the eC3, the Basalt EV is designed to be a formidable contender, directly challenging established and forthcoming rivals like the Tata Curvv EV and the Mahindra BE 6 by offering a unique blend of sophisticated design and practical performance.

A Closer Look at the Basalt EV's Aerodynamic Design

The Citroen Basalt EV will carry forward the striking coupe-SUV silhouette of its petrol-powered sibling but will incorporate distinct features to highlight its electric identity. Its exterior design is expected to be both stylish and functional, featuring a closed-off front fascia and redesigned air dams optimized for superior aerodynamics and efficiency. Key design elements like the sleek, sloping roofline, modern split-LED headlights, and wraparound taillamps will be retained. The vehicle will likely be fitted with exclusive, aerodynamically designed alloy wheels and a discreetly integrated charging port, ensuring it stands out as a next-generation EV.

Inside the Tech-Forward and Comfortable Cabin

The interior of the Basalt EV promises to be a sanctuary of comfort and technology. Central to the dashboard will be a large **10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system**, complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone integration. The cabin is engineered to provide a premium experience, featuring automatic climate control, a wireless charging pad, and a fully digital instrument cluster. Citroen’s renowned focus on comfort will be evident in the ergonomically designed seats, including a height-adjustable driver’s seat and thoughtful under-thigh support for rear passengers, making it ideal for both city commutes and long journeys.

Decoding the Powertrain: Range and Performance Expectations

While official specifications are yet to be announced, industry reports suggest the Basalt EV will be equipped with a robust **35 kWh battery pack**. This will power a single electric motor mounted on the front axle, generating an estimated output of around 100 bhp. The highlight of this powertrain is its anticipated **real-world driving range of up to 450 km** on a single charge, a figure that would make it one of the most practical and long-legged EVs in its class. Support for DC fast charging will further enhance its usability, allowing for quick top-ups on the go.

Pricing and Market Strategy: A Game-Changer in the Making?

The Citroen Basalt EV is projected to launch with an aggressive price tag, estimated to be between ₹14 lakh and ₹17 lakh (ex-showroom). This competitive pricing, made possible through localized manufacturing, will position it as a highly attractive alternative in the electric SUV market. By offering a stylish, feature-rich, and long-range EV at an accessible price point, Citroen aims to disrupt the segment and establish the Basalt EV as a leader in the affordable electric coupe-SUV space. The official launch is anticipated around November 2025, with bookings expected to open a few months prior.
