The All-New Citroen Basalt Vision SUV-coupe has been unveiled by the French automaker, marking the fourth addition to Citroen’s C-Cubed lineup. This sleek vehicle follows the C3 and eC3 hatchbacks, as well as the C3 Aircross SUV. Set to hit the Indian market in the latter half of 2024, the Basalt promises a fresh look and feel. While still in the concept stage, Citroen assures us that what we see is pretty close to what will hit the roads.
Let’s delve into the details of this intriguing SUV-coupe:
- Exterior Design:
- The Basalt Vision’s exterior resembles its sibling, the C3 Aircross, especially in the front. Notable tweaks include projector headlamps replacing the halogen ones. The sides stand out with squared-off wheel arch cladding and a sleek roofline meeting the boot. The absence of door claddings adds to its chic look. Stylish alloy wheels and pull-type door handles complete the picture.
- In terms of size, the Basalt measures about 4.3 meters in length, placing it in the midsize coupe-SUV segment alongside upcoming models like the Tata Curvv.
- Interior Expectations:
- While interior details remain under wraps, expectations are high for upgrades from the C3 Aircross. We anticipate features like electric folding mirrors, automatic climate control, and more.
- Powertrain:
- The Basalt will be powered by a 110 bhp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, with both manual and torque converter automatic options available.
- An all-electric variant is also in the pipeline, slated to join the lineup about six months after the petrol model’s release.
Exciting times lie ahead for Citroen enthusiasts as they eagerly await the Basalt Vision’s official debut on the global stage! 🚗🌟
