Citroën is launching the Basalt X tomorrow—an all-black special with rich interiors, added tech, and the same turbo-petrol engine, offering a sharper take on the Basalt coupe-SUV.
Bold exterior gets stealthy vibe with matte black paint, Basalt X badge on tailgate, and dual-tone alloy wheels while keeping the coupe-SUV silhouette intact.
Inside, expect a leatherette cabin in black-and-tan, ambient lighting, and a handy rear armrest with twin cupholders for extra comfort and flair.
Feature upgrades include wireless phone charging, auto climate control, cruise control, push-button start, keyless entry, and a refreshed touchscreen interface for more convenience.
Under the hood, it retains its existing engine: a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol with 108 bhp, paired with manual or torque-converter automatic, delivering up to 205 Nm (automatic).
Pre-bookings are open at ₹11,000, and pricing will land slightly above the standard Basalt range (₹8.3–14.1 lakh ex-showroom), aiming to offer style with substance.
