Citroen India have revealed the exterior, interior, features, dimensions, and engine specs of the 2024 Basalt coupe SUV. Citroen are set to open bookings and announce the variant-wise prices of the Basalt SUV soon. Take a closer look at Citroen India’s fifth offering in India ahead of its launch here.
2024 Citroen Basalt Exterior Design – No Sunroof
The production-spec Basalt looks largely similar to the Basalt Vision Coupe concept. However, it features a few subtle changes such as the 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels shod with 205/60 R16 tyres instead of the larger black alloy wheel setup with low profile tyres of the concept SUV.
The 2024 Basalt coupe SUV also features a matte finish for the side body cladding while the concept coupe SUV featured gloss black panels. The matte finish side body cladding should help protect the SUV from dings and scratches.
Identical design elements between the production-spec Basalt 2024 and its concept version include LED projector headlamps with LED DRLs, halogen tail lamps, pull-type body-coloured door handles, and a black roof.
Unlike the Tata Curvv, which was teased with a panoramic sunroof recently, the Citroen Basalt does not offer a sunroof at all. However, it does get a shark fin antenna and a black roof option.

- Larger front armrest with storage

Citroen Basalt To Undercut Tata Curvv Petrol Launch Price
Citroen India will open bookings and reveal the variant-wise prices for the new Basalt coupe SUV later this month. The 1.2L normal petrol engine with 5-speed manual powertrain should help Citroen give the Basalt a starting price of around Rs. 9.0 lakh. In comparison, the Citroen Basalt’s prime rival – the Tata Curvv petrol – will launch with a 1.2L turbo petrol and a 1.5L turbo petrol engine, which should result in a starting price of over Rs. 10.0 lakh (ex-showroom).
