Citroen is set to unveil the Basalt Coupe SUV in India this coming August. Officially debuting on August 2, 2024, the Basalt is built on the C3 Aircross SUV platform. Though the exterior design has been showcased through various concept images and spy shots, the interior details were kept under wraps until now. Recently, Citroen released a teaser video on social media, providing a glimpse of the Basalt’s cabin and highlighting its main features.
In a new teaser video, Citroen has revealed intriguing aspects of the Basalt Coupe SUV’s interior. Notable features include a sleek floating touchscreen infotainment system and a stylish textured dashboard. While the Basalt’s interior will share similarities with the C3 Aircross, it will have distinct enhancements to reflect its premium position. The teaser also highlights armrests for both front and rear passengers, with the rear armrest featuring integrated cupholders and a phone holder. Additionally, the headrests offer side support, providing extra comfort for all occupants.
The Citroen Basalt incorporates design elements inspired by the Aircross, featuring a distinctive two-part grille, a chrome Chevron logo, and a faux silver skid plate. It boasts LED DRLs and a redesigned bonnet. Unique features include projector headlamps, squared-off wheel arches with new cladding, and a pinched window line. The C-pillar is accentuated by a blacked-out window line extension, while pull-type door handles and newly designed tail lamps with a larger LED signature contribute to its modern appearance. Additionally, the Basalt showcases a dual-tone bumper with a sleek black and silver finish.
