Citroen Basalt Plus Variant Explained In 15 Real-life Images

The Plus variant is the only variant in the entire Basalt lineup to be offered with both the engine options that are on offer with the French SUV-coupe

In an attempt to diversify the choice for buyers looking for an SUV with compact proportions, the Citroen Basalt was launched as the first SUV-coupe in our market. Its prices start from Rs 7.99 lakh (introductory ex-showroom, pan-India), and it is available in three broad variants: You, Plus and Max. The mid-spec Plus variant is the only Basalt variant in the entire lineup to feature both the engines on offer with the Basalt. If you have been planning to pick the Basalt Plus, check it out below with the help of 15 real-life images:

Front

The exterior elements of the Citroen Basalt differ as per the chosen engine option. If you opt for the naturally aspirated petrol engine, you’ll find halogen headlights and no front fog lamps. For those picking the turbo-petrol variants, Citroen has provided the Basalt Plus with LED projector headlights, front fog lamps and a silver skid plate.

Given the absence of the above trio of features, it is confirmed that the displayed Citroen Basalt’s Plus variant has a naturally aspirated engine under its hood.

Talking about the common features, it gets Aircross-like LED DRLs and red vertical inserts near the fog lamps.

Side

In profile, the Plus variant has 16-inch steel wheels with full wheel covers and black ORVMs (outside rearview mirrors) that integrate the turn indicators. There’s also a body cladding running from the front to the rear bumper and a red insert on the sloping C-pillar.

Rear

It gets wraparound halogen tail lights, a Chevron logo on the tailgate and a black bumper. The turbo-petrol variants also have a silver rear skid plate.
