Citroen is all set to launch the Basalt X variant in India today, on September 5, 2025. This is a special edition, the Basalt SUV-coupé that offers cosmetic upgrades and some extra features.
All-Black Exterior Designs
The Basalt X features a complete black exterior theme, giving it a bold and sporty appearance. These changes make it look different and more premium compared to the standard Basalt.
Here are some key elements of the exteriors in an all-black theme:
Dual-tone 16-inch alloy wheels
A coupe-style sloping roofline
Wraparound LED tail lamps
Updated Look Of The Cabin
Inside, the Basalt X gets a black-and-tan interior theme, replacing the lighter shades of the regular model. A rear center armrest with cup holders has been added for improved passenger comfort. Citroen might also have ambient lighting, which will make the cabin feel more stylish at night.

10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
