Citroen BasaltX
Prices verified against manufacturer & market sources on · how we verify · हिंदी में पढ़ें
₹8.55 Lakh – ₹14.11 Lakhex-showroom
The Citroen BasaltX is priced between ₹8.55 Lakh – ₹14.11 Lakh (ex-showroom, October 2026) across 8 key variants. The Plus MT Comfort Edition variant costs about ₹11,15,885 on-road in Delhi.
The BasaltX is India's most affordable coupe-SUV — the sloping-roof Basalt launched in August 2024, refreshed as the X in September 2025 with six airbags standard, a new dashboard and more equipment. Power comes from an 82 PS 1.2 NA petrol or a 110 PS 1.2 turbo-petrol (190 Nm with the 6-speed manual, 205 Nm with the 6-speed torque-converter automatic), and its 470-litre boot is the biggest in the compact-SUV class. A 4-star Bharat NCAP rating and famously supple ride quality back its fight against the Tata Curvv, the only other coupe-SUV at this price.
