Introducing the Citroën Basalt Vision: A Fusion of Elegance and Robustness for 2024

Discover Citroën Basalt Vision, the SUV Coupé blending sleek design with unparalleled comfort, set to revolutionize roads in India and South America in 2024.

Citroën has recently revealed the first images of its latest concept, the Citroën Basalt Vision, which is a new addition to its compact SUV Coupe lineup. Set to debut in India and South America in the latter half of 2024, the Basalt Vision is described as a powerful and stylish model that amalgamates various automotive styles to deliver the best to its customers. It offers the sleekness and dynamic aspects of a Coupe, along with the benefits and sturdiness of a raised SUV, and the balance and spaciousness of a 5-door saloon.

The development of the Basalt Vision involved direct contributions from the teams at the headquarters and in each region, ensuring strong local integration. This model is expected to bolster Citroën’s international presence, complementing the C3 and C3 Aircross in key markets. All three models belong to a programme aimed at launching vehicles that stand out for their strong character and distinctive comfort onboard. The Basalt Vision embodies a true representation of what customers can expect when it hits the market in 2024.

Thierry Koskas, the CEO of Citroën, expressed excitement about unveiling the third chapter of the programme aimed at propelling Citroën’s international growth. He highlighted the teams' dedication to delivering this innovative SUV Coupe vision, which boasts a bold design and unparalleled comfort and space inside. Being developed and produced locally, Koskas is optimistic that the Basalt Vision will attract a wide customer base and enhance the brand’s standing in significant markets. Further details about the model are anticipated to be shared in the middle of the year.

The Citroën Basalt Vision introduces a new concept silhouette for this segment, blending various automotive attributes for the first time. It portrays modernity, robustness, and confidence, featuring a high ground clearance, an elevated bonnet, a bold front end, and distinctive wheel arches, contributing to its strong road presence. The coupe-like rear adds to its energetic and dynamic appearance, making it both athletic and elegant.

Named after the volcanic rock symbolizing robustness and serenity, Basalt reflects these qualities with its promise of durability and peace of mind for its owners. The SUV Coupe combines the advantages of a 5-door saloon with higher ground clearance for easy access and ample space. It also features protective shields and side guards for added safety, allowing drivers to navigate challenging conditions with ease.

Following the C3 and C3 Aircross, the Basalt Vision is the third model under Citroën’s C-Cubed programme, focusing on growth in India and South America. This initiative aims to create a unique and appealing product range that delivers value through its distinctive design and usability. All models are built on the Smart Car platform, tailored to meet the specific demands of these markets, showcasing the platform’s modularity and efficiency. Citroën aims to enhance the ownership experience through services designed to simplify customer lives.

Slated for launch in the second half of 2024, the Citroën Basalt Vision is set to captivate young professionals and families with its strong, muscular design and unmatched comfort onboard, further solidifying Citroën’s innovative legacy in the automotive industry.
