The Citroen Basalt, launched recently as the direct competitor to the Tata Curvv, is available in three broad variants: You, Plus and Max. While the variant-wise prices are yet to be revealed, if you're considering the mid-spec Plus variant, we've explained everything it offers with the help of images.

Powertrain Options

Before we get going with the design and interior bits, let us talk about the powertrain options on offer. The ‘Plus’ is the only variant of the Citroen Basalt that is available with both the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine and 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engines.

Exterior

The ‘Plus’ variant with the turbo-petrol engine gets LED projector headlights and halogen fog lights. On the sides, it gets steel wheels without covers, black-coloured body cladding on wheel arches, body-coloured door handles and indicators placed on the outside rear-view mirrors (ORVMs). It gets halogen tail lights and the bumper has a silver skid plate.

On the other hand, the same variant with the naturally aspirated engine gets a halogen headlight setup and misses out on front fog lights. The steel wheels without covers and the indicators are the same as the turbo-petrol variants. However, it misses out on a silver skid plate at the rear.

Interiors And Features

The cabin, like the exterior, also has differences based on the choice of powertrain. The ‘Plus’ trim’s cabin theme is white and black, in contrast to the base-spec ‘You’ variant’s all-black theme. It also has white and silver upholstery on the seats and grey inserts on the doorpads. A day-night inside rearview mirror (IRVM) is also provided on the ‘Plus’ trim.

The 1.2-litre turbo-petrol variants get a 7-inch fully digital driver’s display, a 10.2-inch touchscreen, auto AC, and a roof-mounted cabin light for the front as well as the rear passengers. Furthermore, this variant features steering-mounted audio controls and a 6-speaker audio system. It also has a centre armrest for the front passengers and rear passengers. The rear seat also gets adjustable headrests for the outer side rear passengers.

Talking about the naturally aspirated ‘Plus’ variant, it gets a similar feature suite as above but misses out on auto AC and rear AC vents and does not feature either a roof-mounted cabin light for the rear passengers or a front centre armrest.
