Citroen Basalt: The SUV That Could Outshine Dhoni!

Get ready for the Citroen Basalt launch! Is it the next big thing in compact SUVs? Let's find out!

Citroen India is all set to make waves with the launch of its latest offering, the Basalt Coupe SUV, tomorrow, August 9, 2024. This innovative vehicle is ready to carve out a new niche in the compact SUV segment with its eye-catching design that is sure to turn heads. With features that include pull-type door handles and a seamless pinched window line that elegantly flows into the boot, the Basalt is not just a treat for the eyes but a blend of style and functionality. Expect a starting price around Rs 8.5 lakh (ex-showroom), making it a competitive contender against rivals like Tata's latest offerings.

Under the hood, the Citroen Basalt is powered by two engine options: an 82hp petrol engine and a peppy 110hp turbo-petrol variant, catering to various driving preferences. The car will come with both manual and automatic gearboxes from launch, ensuring a smooth driving experience. Enthusiasts and casual drivers alike will appreciate the balance of power and efficiency packed into this stylish SUV-coupe combo. It is based on the well-received C3 Aircross and stands as the fourth model in Citroen's India lineup.

As excitement builds around its launch, even cricketing legend MS Dhoni has been featured in teaser videos for the Basalt. Undoubtedly, the vehicle is poised to make a grand entrance into the Indian automotive arena. Will it be priced to stun, or will it send competitors like Tata scurrying to reconsider their strategies? With prospects of having unique features and competitive pricing, the Basalt seems to be gearing up for a successful debut.

And while we count down the hours to the launch, let's not forget that Citroen is also prepping for another big reveal—the Tata Curvv has been attracting attention with its higher price point of Rs 17.49 lakh for its EV variant, while the ICE-powered Curvv price will be announced soon! So, will the Basalt dictate trends in the compact SUV scene or will it play the role of a thrilling underdog?

In the world of cars, the Citroen Basalt is like the cricketing underdog that could be the MS Dhoni of SUVs—ready to change the game! With an array of exciting features and a competitive price tag, it could very well shake things up and bring a new flavor to our beloved Indian roadways! Stay tuned to see if it really hits it out of the park!
