Expert Review on Citroen Basalt X
car&bike Expert Take
“The Citroen Basalt X easily turns heads in traffic with its sloping roofline, and it also has some highly requested features now. This updated variant is one surprisingly comfortable family car, as its brilliant suspension setup can confidently tackle badly broken city roads.”
When Citroen introduced the original Basalt, it gained some decent attention as an unusually budget-friendly coupe SUV in a crowded market. The Basalt X, in its most recent update, has seriously addressed all previous buyer complaints about cheap cabin quality and missing equipment.
Now, the car feels truly premium, as it gets a heavily updated cabin packed with soft-touch materials, ventilated front seats, and the introduction of a smart AI voice assistant. Mechanically, the vehicle plays it safe, keeping the proven 1.2-litre naturally aspirated and turbo-petrol engines alive and kicking. Citroen's core focus has clearly been on producing a pliant, quiet ride that glides through Indian potholes, while holding tight onto its quirky French charm at the same time.
Bilal Firfiray had covered the launch event surrounding this coupe-SUV, while our car&bike team had also reported about its arrival in India. We have added excerpts from those moments here to help you understand whether this relatively fresh offering in the automotive market is worth the hype or not.
Pros
- Outstanding ride quality over bad roads
- Punchy 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine
- Highly contextual 'Cara' AI voice assistant
- Accessible introductory pricing
Cons
- No panoramic sunroof
- No diesel engine or hybrid options
- The dealership network is still growing
- Missing Level 2 ADAS features
Verdict
The Citroen Basalt X is living proof that the French automaker is actively responding to what Indian consumers have to say. Something always felt lacking in the earlier model, but thanks to the redesigned cabin and its softer materials, the experience inside this car is much better now.
While it still does not have a few crowd-pleasing items like a panoramic sunroof and ADAS, its aggressive pricing strategy makes it incredibly tempting. If you value a comfortable, compliant ride, a punchy turbo-petrol engine, and a design that stands out from the traditional boxy crowd, the Basalt X is a highly credible option worth your money.
Bilal summarises this coupe-SUV,
“The Citroen Basalt X is a much-needed evolution. With a refreshed cabin, more competitive pricing, and a much stronger feature list, it finally feels like the premium coupe SUV it was always meant to be.”
