Citroen Basalt Exterior Design
The Citroen Basalt’s exterior design is eye-catching because of its sloping roofline. The car gives a balanced look from the sides. From the rear, the appearance of a car with a sloping roofline and tail lamps is easy to notice on the road from other vehicles.
The front design looks a lot like the C3 Aircross, but the LED projector headlamps in all the top versions of Citroen’s cars give them a more premium look. However, the flap-style door handles still don’t feel very high-quality or easy to use.
The Basalt will be available in five colors, Polar White, Steel Gray, Platinum Grey, Cosmo Blue, and Garnet Red. You can also select Garnet Red and Polar White with a black roof for a stylish two-tone look.
Citroen Basalt Interior Design
It’s easy to get in and out of the Basalt because of the large doors that open wide. The seat height is just right, making it comfortable for older passengers to enter and exit the car.
The dashboard design is similar to the C3 Aircross—simple, smart, and with good textures and colors. The panel above the glove box and the aircon vents have a premium feel, and the lighter colors inside make the cabin feel open and heartwarming.
The front seats are comfortable, and you can adjust their height in the top variant. It’s easy to find a good driving position, but some drivers might feel that the steering wheel is too far away because it only adjusts up and down, not forward and backward.

Citroen Basalt Performance
As we mentioned above about engine specification. We have to see the Basalt has less power and no big turbo petrol engine compared to rivals like the Creta and Seltos. But for everyday driving, it doesn’t feel underpowered. The automatic gearbox works well in traffic, making driving smooth. However, when overtaking or needing quick acceleration, the gearbox can be a bit slow and might hesitate in picking the right gear, so a little planning is needed.
The engine has enough power to comfortably cruise at 100-120 kmph. However, there’s no cruise control, which is important because of strict speed rules. Overtaking at high speeds also needs some planning since the gearbox can be slow to downshift.
