Citroen Basalt Pros and Cons: All you need to know | Auto Live

The Citroën Basalt brings striking coupe‑SUV styling to the Indian market, standing out thanks to its sharp LED DRLs, sporty sloping roof, and strong road presence. Inside, it offers generous space, especially in the rear with adjustable under‑thigh support and a roomy 470‑litre boot, while safety is well‑covered via six airbags, ESP, TPMS, ISOFIX, hill‑hold, and a full set of seatbelt reminders. The 1.2‑litre petrol (turbo and non‑turbo) powertrains provide smooth performance, particularly in the city. On the flip side, some premium features are missing: no sunroof, ventilated seats, keyless‑go, or 360‑degree camera. Cabin materials feel basic in places, and the sloping roof compromises rear headroom and visibility. Moreover, with only petrol engines and a still‑growing service network, there are lingering questions about long‑term ownership.
