Citroen Basalt: Design
The Basalt will be based on the Citroen C3 Aircross. As seen in the spy shots and a recently released teaser, the Basalt features a sleek, coupe-like roofline. It appears to have adopted a sportier design while maintaining the practicality of an SUV. Several elements of the SUV have been teased already, including the signature two-slat grille finished in chrome, an edgy silver skid plate, and sleek LED headlights. On the sides, the Basalt features chunky-looking large alloy wheels finished in dual tone colours including silver and black. Coming to the rear, the SUV features an integrated spoiler on the boot lid and wraparound LED tail lights.

Citroen Basalt: Engine
Based on the Citroen C3 Aircross platform, the Basalt is expected to borrow its engine as well. This translates to a likely 1.2-litre turbo-petrol unit generating around 110 and 205 Nm of torque. This engine will come mated to either a manual gearbox or automatic torque converter.
