Which Citroen Basalt X variant should you consider buying?

Citroen India rejigged the Basalt variant lineup in September 2025, adding an 'X' suffix as well as new features. It is now called the Citroen Basalt X, and due to the new GST rates on cars, the prices of the coupe SUV have also fallen significantly. Continue reading, as we have detailed below variant-wise Basalt X prices, powertrain options and features. There's a variant recommendation, too, so that you can make a well-informed decision.

Citroen Basalt X engine and gearbox options

Naturally aspirated and turbo petrol engines

The Citroen SUV is available with two engine options: an 82hp, 1.2-litre, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 110hp, turbocharged version of the same engine. The NA unit is paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, while the turbo-petrol block can be had with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The NA petrol engine is available on the You and Plus trims, but you can also have the latter trim with the turbo-petrol engine. The top-spec Max variant, however, is offered only in the turbo guise.

Which Citroen Basalt X variant can you consider?

While safety features such as 6 airbags, ABS with EBD and hill hold are standard on the coupe SUV, we recommend the mid-spec Basalt X Plus Turbo trim for its well-balanced feature set. Our Citroen Basalt review stated that it's turbo-petrol engine packs brisk performance, with crisp accelerator responses coupled with nicely judged gear ratios. Compared to the top-spec Max Turbo trim which is only offered with an automatic, the Plus Turbo offers the option of a manual too. Lastly, the Rs 12.07 lakh-Basalt Plus Turbo AT trim will save you Rs 82,000 over the Rs 12.89 lakh-Max Turbo AT.
