Citroen Basalt pre booking window is now open across India, and it takes just ₹11,000 to get in line. You can do it at any Citroen dealership, or on the brand’s website. Official prices will be revealed at launch.
Citroen is targeting a launch by the end of this month, then moving quickly into handovers. Expect deliveries to kick off in early September, which keeps the wait pleasantly short if you book now.
Citroen is teasing a darker, richer vibe outside and in. It reads like a quality of life upgrade rather than a rethink, which many buyers actually prefer.
Expect an all‑black exterior theme, dual‑tone alloys, and a black‑and‑tan cabin with neat bronze accents that lift the look without shouting.
On tech, the brand is signaling useful additions like a 360‑degree camera, keyless entry, and push‑button start, while retaining the familiar 10.25‑inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, connected features, a 7‑inch driver display, auto climate control, and six airbags.
Citroen has not announced sticker prices yet. The brand’s silence is normal at this stage.
Guidance is clear though: anticipate a light premium of approx. ₹10,000 to ₹25,000 over the current top trim. This matches the extra kit and the refreshed themes.
Mechanicals stay the course, which is good news if you like proven bits.
The Basalt X will continue with the 1.2‑liter petrol in two tunes, a naturally aspirated option and a turbo‑petrol, paired with a 6‑speed manual or a torque‑converter automatic.
The combo has already shown good city aptitude and relaxed cruising behavior in the Basalt lineup, so Citroen is clearly backing familiarity, reliability, and lower ownership here.
Citroen positions the Basalt X squarely against the Tata Curvv, while also brushing shoulders with popular compact and midsize SUV names that people cross‑shop anyway.
The Basalt X’s coupe‑SUV shape, darker aesthetic, and added tech are meant to give it that “looks special, feels easy” edge at first glance.
If you want early access, the Citroen Basalt pre booking is low‑risk at ₹11,000, and the wait is short.
The feature set leans toward the practical, the design feels more premium, and the drivetrain is a known blueprint.
Keep an eye out for final prices at launch, then decide if that modest premium feels right for you.
