Citroen Basalt X

Citroen gave the Basalt its 'X' treatment, which is a darker theme with additional equipment inside, and a badge to set it apart. Otherwise, the Basalt X remains to be the standard Basalt coupe-SUV. Now, the Basalt X starts at Rs. 11.63 lakh (ex-showroom) and retains the same petrol engines as before.

Exterior

The Citroen Basalt X retains the essential design cues of the regular model of the Basalt while adding a bit of zest to it. For a refreshed appearance, it boasts new LED strips on the grille and a 'Basalt X' badge at the rear. There are no other fundamental design tweaks otherwise.

Interior

However, inside the Basalt X's cabin, there's a dual-tone black and tan interior with ambient lighting. All other equipment from the earlier top-of-the-line Basalt is carried over to the Basalt X. What's more, buyers benefit from some new features such as a push button start-stop system, ventilated seats, and cruise control. Then, the safety factor has been bolstered with a 360-degree camera and an auto-dimming IRVM.

Powertrain

Citroen hasn't made any changes to the powertrain and the Basalt X carries over the engine options from the standard Basalt. There is an entry-level 1.2-litre, naturally aspirated, petrol engine producing 81bhp and 115Nm of torque. This NA mill comes mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.On the other hand, there is another 1.2-litre unit, but a turbo-petrol mill, churning 109bhp and up to 205Nm torque. This engine comes mated to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission.
