Spotted this Basalt on NH-44 while returning from Hyderabad. It was driven rashly at very high speeds.

Although I don’t have the spy shots, I did see them being tested in Ooty last weekend. I saw two of these go by, and at first thought I honestly thought it was an Urus under testing (haven't seen an urus IRL), but I loved the substantial stance of the car, the sleek X6 type coupe SUV.

Another observation during the Ooty testing, I think I noticed a model with the front grill covered. Most likely a electric version in the works too.

I do like this car, maybe few things are not right, but it has the basics in place. I honestly couldnt care less about HUD and welcome messages in car. Give me a great suspension. I hope though, the power output is tweaked a bit more, but thats more because of being used to an Abarth for last 4 years. but definitely, this is a consideration for addition to my Garage. and seems a strong contender, with the kind of abuse indian roads throw at my abart.

Those el-cheapo looking flap type handles are a big eye-sore on an otherwise decent looking car. They by themself lower the cars perceived value by a big margin.
What is Citroen's fascination with these cheap looking handles? Why can't they just give the standard pull type handles and call it a day? How much are they even saving?

What Citroen needs to understand is though Indians like affordable things, they don't like their things to be perceived "cheap". It is okay if you cannot dress up the exteriors with fancy cuts & lighting, but it is a big sin to make it scream cheap. TATA learnt it the hard way with their Nano, which even though was a better car than the 800, just couldn't fight the cheap tag that got attached with it.

Is it just me or does the car look like an enlarged Tata tigor from the rear and a previous gen Suzuki Swift from the front? Front pics are not clear, but the profile looks about the same.

The rear is done up nicely, but I have serious doubts about how it will look from the front.

Sunroof is missing in the marketing video, hopefully they cover up this most demanded feature by adding several others which at least the enthusiasts can appreciate. Citroen needs to learn that only good looks and ride are not enough to sell a car in India.

It's a good looking car, in an odd sort of a way. I hope there are variants with no black roof. A question for those of you know, doesn't a black roof make it harder for the car to cool down especially here in North India?

Thanks. Looks smashing in the pictures at least.

Looks more proportional compared to Tata Currv.

Yes, it will have a proper liftgate.

While we can call sub compact SUVs as hatchback on stilts, I guess we can call these coupe SUVs as compact sedan on stilts.

Great to see new car forms introduced in the main stream car scene. Kudos to Tata and Citroen. Lets see which one hits the market first and gets the first mover advantage.

The 'goodlooking' Citroen Basalt, spied uncamouflaged as launch nears!
