The Citroën Basalt is a subcompact crossover SUV specifically engineered for developing regions, including India and South America.
Its styling was initially showcased through the "Basalt Vision" concept car revealed in March 2024. The official production version was introduced on 2 August 2024, following teaser promotions released earlier in July.
Brazil
In Brazil, the Basalt was launched on 2 October 2024, available in three trim levels: Feel, Shine, and First Edition. Buyers can choose between two engine options: a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol and a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol unit. Upon release, it held the distinction of being the most affordable SUV coupe in the Brazilian market. In the same month, Citroën also presented the Basalt Vision Dark Concept, which featured a black exterior with red highlights inspired by the Citroën GS Basalte.

The Basalt made its Indian market debut on 30 August 2024 with three variants: You, Plus, and Max. Engine options consist of a 1.2-litre petrol and a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol powertrain.
Indonesia
Introduced at the 32nd Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show on 24 July 2025, the Basalt is imported from India and offered in two versions: Standard and Dark Edition. Both trims are equipped with a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine.
Safety
In 2024, the Indian-spec Basalt achieved a four-star rating for both adult and child occupant protection from Bharat NCAP, following the Global NCAP protocols established in 2023, which are based on Latin NCAP standards from 2016.
