Citroen Basalt: Redefining the Mid-Size SUV Segment

Citroen India is on a mission to make a significant impact on the competitive mid-size SUV market. Following the success of its C3 Aircross, the French automaker has unveiled the production-ready Basalt coupe SUV. Positioned as a stylish and practical alternative to the upcoming Tata Curvv, the Basalt aims to democratize premium coupe design.

Known for its distinctive and eye-catching vehicles, Citroen is once again raising the bar with the Basalt. Pierre Leclercq, Head of Citroen Design, explained the car’s design philosophy: “The Basalt is a unique blend of SUV robustness and coupe elegance. Its proportions, inspired by iconic models like the CX, create a strong yet refined presence.”

The Basalt’s design is a departure from the traditional SUV silhouette. A sloping coupe-like roofline gracefully merges with the boot lid, while a sculpted bonnet adds a muscular stance. The integrated lip spoiler on the boot lid enhances aerodynamics and complements the car’s sporty character. The intricate alloy wheel design further accentuates the Basalt’s dynamic appeal.

With its bold design and compelling proposition, the Citroen Basalt is poised to capture the attention of SUV enthusiasts seeking a distinctive and stylish option. As the launch approaches, expectations are high for this promising addition to Citroen’s Indian lineup.
