Citroen has launched the Basalt X Comfort Edition at Rs 8.75 lakh, a Rs 20,000 premium over the base 'You' variant. The brand adds features like leatherette seats and a bigger touchscreen without needing to move up to a pricier trim. Launched as part of Citroen's 108-year anniversary celebrations, this is the second model after the Aircross to get this Comfort treatment, suggesting it's becoming a regular part of Citroen's India strategy rather than a one-off. This matters for budget-conscious buyers of the Basalt coupe-SUV, since it offers a way to get meaningfully more equipment without jumping an entire variant tier. Here's exactly what extra Rs 20,000 actually buys you.
What Do You Get?
The Citroen Basalt Comfort Edition adds a 'Comfort AXS' pack available
on both the base 'You' and mid-level 'Plus' trims. This update brings beige leatherette seat upholstery, a 10.25-inch Android-based touchscreen, a wireless phone charger, a JBL sound system, dual dashcams with predictive safety alerts as well as a rearview camera. Exactly which of these features you get depends on which base trim you're upgrading from, so it's worth confirming the specific list for your chosen variant with a dealer instead of assuming every feature applies across the board.
Which Engine Fits You?
The 'You' trim runs solely on an 82hp, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual, producing 115 Nm of torque. Stepping up to the 'Plus' trim brings a more powerful 1.2-litre turbo-petrol option instead, making 110 hp with 190 Nm on the manual or 205 Nm when paired with the 6-speed automatic. Buyers should note the Comfort Edition pack applies to both engine choices, so upgrading trims doesn't mean giving up any comfort features tied to this special edition.
Is The Rs 20,000 Premium Worth It?
Given that this adds leatherette seats, a JBL audio system and dual dashcams for a relatively small premium, it's a reasonable value proposition if you were already planning to buy the base or mid-trim Basalt. The Basalt competes in a crowded segment against the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, Tata Curvv and Renault Duster among others. So buyers should still compare this equipment list against rival offerings at a similar price point before deciding purely on the Comfort Edition's added convenience features alone.
