The SUV market in India is changing fast, and carmakers are trying new designs to stand out. One such entry in the Indian market is the Citroen Basalt, which combines the look of an SUV with a coupe-style design. The top-end variant Max Turbo AT Dual Tone is the most feature-loaded version, priced at Rs 13.95 lakh (ex-showroom).
Citroen Basalt Max Turbo AT Dual Tone Design
The Basalt stands out because of its coupe-like design. Unlike regular SUVs, it has a slightly sloping roof at the back, giving it a sporty look. The dual-tone colour options, LED projector headlamps, and stylish alloy wheels add to its premium appeal. Despite the design, it still offers good ground clearance of around 180 mm, making it suitable for Indian roads.

petrol engine. It produces around 108 bhp and 205 Nm of torque, which means the car feels quick and responsive, especially in city driving and highway overtakes. It comes with a 6-speed automatic gearbox (torque converter), which is smoother and more reliable compared to some other automatic systems. The car can go from 0 to 100 km/h in under 10 seconds, which is good for this segment. Mileage is around 18.7 kmpl, making it efficient for daily use.
