The interesting bit of the new teaser was that it gave a glimpse of the interior and features. In the teaser, a similar-looking dashboard of the C3 Aircross was visible with the same 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, identical central AC vents, and a 7-inch fully digital driver’s display.

The Basalt is also set to get wraparound LED tail lights and a high-positioned boot lid, flaunting the Citroen logo and the ‘Basalt’ moniker.

In addition to the same touchscreen and driver’s display, the Basalt can further get cruise control, a wireless phone charger, push-button start/stop, and keyless entry.
