About Citroen Basalt X in India

The Citroen Basalt X is India’s first mainstream internal combustion engine (ICE) SUV Coupe, designed to bridge the gap between high-riding SUVs and elegant sedans. Its standout feature is the aerodynamic silhouette, characterized by a sloping roofline that flows seamlessly into a notched boot. The front fascia retains the iconic Citroen identity with the "Double Chevron" grille and high-mounted split LED daytime running lights, while the 180mm ground clearance ensures it remains practical for the varied terrain of Indian roads.

On the inside, the Basalt X focuses heavily on rear-seat luxury, introducing segment-first adjustable under-thigh support for the rear passengers. The cabin is equipped with a 10.25-inch touchscreen that offers wireless smartphone integration and a fully digital 7-inch driver’s display. Built on the heavy use of high-strength steel, the Basalt provides a safe environment, as evidenced by its 4-star Bharat NCAP safety rating, and comes standard with six airbags and electronic stability control across all variants.

About Basalt X

Citroen Basalt X Full Specifications & Features

Performance and Transmission

1. Max Torque: 190 Nm (MT) / 205 Nm (AT) / 115 Nm (NA)

The Basalt X offers a tiered performance strategy for the Indian market. The entry-level "You" trim features a 1.2L Naturally Aspirated (NA) Gen 3 engine producing 82 PS and 115 Nm. The mid and high variants utilize the 1.2L PureTech 110 Turbo engine, delivering 110 PS. In 2026, the Basalt EV variant has also debuted, featuring a 35 kWh battery pack with a projected range of 450 km and a motor output of approximately 100 bhp. The petrol turbo variants use a 3-cylinder DOHC valve train with a high-pressure direct injection system.

Transmission and Drivetrain

1. Gearbox Type: 5-Speed MT / 6-Speed MT / 6-Speed Torque Converter

The Basalt X provides three distinct transmission options to match its engine variants: a 5-speed manual for the 1.2L NA, a 6-speed manual for the Turbo, and a refined 6-speed torque converter automatic for the top-tier "Max" trims. The drivetrain is Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) across all variants. The automatic transmission includes a manual shift mode via the gear lever, though it lacks paddle shifters, focusing instead on smooth city cruising and highway efficiency.

Dimensions and Weight

1. Length: 4,352 mm | Wheelbase: 2,651 mm

The Basalt X is longer than the standard C3, measuring 4,352 mm, which contributes to its elegant coupe silhouette. It shares the 2,651 mm wheelbase with the Aircross, ensuring significant rear-seat legroom. The unladen ground clearance is set at 180 mm, providing a balance between a sporty low-center-of-gravity feel and the ability to handle rough Indian terrains. The kerb weight is optimized for fuel efficiency, which is rated between 18 km/l and 19.5 km/l depending on the powertrain.

Capacities

1. Boot Space: 470 Litres

Despite the sloping roofline, the Basalt X boasts a massive 470-litre boot, making it one of the most practical SUV-coupes in its price bracket. The fuel tank capacity is 45 litres, consistent with its mid-size SUV positioning. It is strictly a 5-seater, focusing on maximizing passenger comfort rather than the 5+2 configuration found in the Aircross.

Safety and Security

1. NCAP Safety Rating: 4 Star (Bharat NCAP)

The India-spec Basalt X is built with a reinforced structure that secured a 4-star rating in Bharat NCAP testing. Standard safety equipment includes 6 airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), ABS with EBD, and ISOFIX child seat mounts. It also features Hill Start Assist and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the higher "Plus" and "Max" trims. Note that the Indian model features a significantly more stable bodyshell compared to regional variants sold in other global markets.

Chassis, Suspension and Brakes

1. Tyre Size: 205/60 R16 (Alloy)

The Basalt X rides on 16-inch alloy wheels, which are standard on the Turbo variants. The suspension system uses the "Citroen Advanced Comfort" philosophy, featuring MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam at the rear with specifically tuned dampers to minimize vertical body movement. Braking is provided by ventilated discs at the front and drums at the rear, optimized for the vehicle's 1,490 kg crash test weight.

Interior and Tech

1. Infotainment: 10.25-inch Touchscreen | 7-inch Digital Cluster

The cabin is tech-forward, featuring a 10.25-inch touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A standout feature is the 7-inch fully digital instrument cluster that is highly customizable. For rear passengers, the Basalt X introduces a unique "Adjustable Under-Thigh Support" for the rear bench, which is a first-in-segment feature in India. It also includes automatic climate control and a wireless phone charger.

Other Data Points

1. Proprietary Tech: Smart Tilt Wing Bolstered Headrests

Beyond the standard MyCitroen Connect app (with 40+ features), the Basalt X features unique "Winged Headrests" in the rear, inspired by aircraft seats to provide lateral support for sleeping passengers. The warranty follows the 3 years / 1,00,000 km standard. Unique to the 2026 model is the integration of "Cara AI," the voice assistant that allows for natural language control over the AC and infotainment systems.
