Prices for the Basalt start at ₹7.99 lakh and could go up to ₹13.57 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
Citroën India recently launched the Basalt coupe SUV in India and prices start at ₹7.99 lakh (ex-showroom, India). While the remaining prices are expected to be announced at a later date, the price of the top-spec variant was accidentally revealed on the website. The top-spec Max turbo-petrol automatic variant is likely to be priced at ₹13.57 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The price is not visible on the website anymore so take it with a pinch of salt.
With Basalt’s price range topping out at ₹13.57 lakh, it significantly undercuts most of its rivals in the compact SUV segment. A point to note here is that the ₹7.99 lakh price tag will be for the petrol engine, while the turbo-petrol engine is expected to start under ₹10 lakh. For the purpose of this comparison, only the entry-level engines of the rivals are being considered.
