Citroen Basalt Updates

Sunday, 13 October 2024 10:50 PM The Citroen Basalt has secured a 4-star rating in the Bharat NCAP crash test, scoring 26.1 out of 32 points for adult occupant protection and 19.9 out of 24 for child occupant protection. This safety rating is a significant boost for the vehicles credibility in the Indian market. I believe this rating will help build trust among potential buyers.

Saturday, 05 October 2024 11:06 PM Citroen India has announced festive offers for the Basalt and other SUVs, including discounts and other incentives to attract buyers during the festive season. These offers are aimed at increasing sales and market share. I think these offers could make the Basalt even more appealing to customers looking for a stylish and safe SUV.

Monday, 09 September 2024 12:11 PM Citroens sales in August 2024 saw a significant boost, with the Basalt being the highest-selling model, accounting for 579 units in its first month of launch. This contributed to a 121% year-over-year (YoY) growth in sales for Citroen. The Basalts attractive pricing and features have been key factors in its immediate success. I believe this is a strong indicator of the Basalts potential in the Indian market.

Monday, 09 September 2024 12:41 PM The Basalts sales performance has significantly contributed to Citroens overall sales growth in India. In August 2024, Citroens sales grew by 281% month-over-month (MoM) and 121% YoY, making it the 13th best-selling automaker in India for that month. I think this growth indicates a positive market response to the Basalt.

Monday, 09 September 2024 02:56 PM Citroen has updated the C3 and C5 Aircross models with new features, aligning them more closely with the Basalt. The C3 has seen multiple feature updates and safety equipment borrowed from the Basalt, making it a stronger competitor in its segment. I believe these updates will help Citroen maintain its sales momentum.

Saturday, 17 August 2024 11:44 AM The Citroen Basalt has been launched in India with a starting price of Rs. 7.99 lakh for the non-turbo base variant and up to Rs. 13.5 lakh for the top turbo automatic variant. The vehicle features a coupe-SUV design, LED projector headlamps, and a spacious cabin. I think the competitive pricing will help it stand out in the mid-size SUV segment.

Monday, 12 August 2024 02:35 PM The Citroen Basalt features a 1.2-liter turbo petrol engine producing 110 hp and 190 Nm of torque with a manual transmission, and 205 Nm with a 6-speed automatic. The engine is smooth for city commuting but can be noisy when pushed hard. The ride and handling are well-tuned, making it comfortable on various road conditions. I think the engine performance is adequate for most users, but it could be improved for highway driving.

Monday, 12 August 2024 10:43 AM Citroen has confirmed that the Basalt lacks some features such as push-button start/stop, ventilated and powered seats, cruise control, a 360-degree camera, and a sunroof. However, it compensates with six airbags, ISOFIX, ESP, and other safety features. I think while the missing features might be a drawback, the safety features are a significant plus.

Friday, 09 August 2024 03:06 PM The Basalts design is distinct with its coupe-like roofline, squared-off wheel arches, and 16-inch alloy wheels. It also features a stylish kink on the C-pillar and 3D LED tail lights. The interior is more premium compared to the C3 Aircross, with an automatic climate control panel and comfortable front seats. I believe the design updates make the Basalt a visually appealing option in its segment.

Friday, 09 August 2024 05:53 AM The Citroen Basalt has a boot space of 470 liters, which is sufficient for a familys weekend luggage, although it lacks a 60:40 split-folding function. The vehicles ground clearance is 180 mm, and it has a wheelbase of 2,651 mm. I believe the space and ground clearance make it practical for daily use.
