The new Citroen Basalt is one of the best options in the market for anyone looking for a comfortable and safe family car under Rs 15 lakh and here are top 5 reasons why you should buy one.
Despite sharing its underpinnings with the C3 Aircross, the new Basalt coupe-SUV boasts a unique exterior styling with a strong road presence, all thanks to a bold front fascia and a sloping roofline.
Inside, the new Basalt is offered with a premium dashboard layout along with a long list of features including a 10.25-inch central touchscreen infotainment system, a 7-inch full-digital instrument cluster, wireless charging pad and more.
The new Basalt is offered with two 1.2-litre petrol engine options – an 82hp, naturally aspirated unit and a 110hp, turbo petrol engine. While the NA unit is offered only with a 5-speed manual gearbox, the turbo engine on the other hand is mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
The new Basalt is not only offered with a long list of safety features as a standard part of the package but also scored an impressive 4-star rating in the BNCAP safety crash tests.
Offered in as many as eight different trim options, the new Basalt is not only aggressively priced but also comes with all the bells and whistles expected at this price. For those wondering, the new Citroen Basalt price in India starts from Rs 7.99 lakh and goes all the way to Rs 13.83 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the range-topping variant.
