Citroën India has taken the automotive spotlight with the grand launch of the Basalt X Range, a dynamic addition to its ambitious ‘Citroën 2.0 – Shift Into the New’ strategy. Marking a milestone in the brand’s India journey, the Basalt X debuts with all-new premium interiors and the introduction of CARA – India’s first intelligent in-car companion. This next-generation SUV coupe reflects Stellantis’ vision for connected, human-centric, and aspirational mobility, engineered in India with a global outlook, reinforcing Citroën’s commitment to innovation and customer-centric design.

The Human Side of Intelligent Mobility

CARA is India’s first and only intelligent, multilingual, intuitive, and contextually aware in-car companion, built from the ground up to integrate seamlessly with Citroën vehicles.

• Understands context and tone: Responds naturally to fuzzy commands like “I’m tired” by suggesting a rest stop.
• Seamlessly integrates with the vehicle: Monitors tyre pressure, fuel, offering human-friendly insights and remote control of functions like AC pre-conditioning and door locks.
• Keeps you connected: Manages music streaming, calls, reminders, and smartwatch notifications; integrates with navigation Maps, and more.
• Delivers real-time intelligence: Flight status, stock updates, cricket scores, or weather alerts— all conversationally.
• Puts safety first: Voice-triggered SOS mode, crash response, and emergency assistance.
• Speaks your language: Handles 52 Indian and global languages, switching mid-conversation when needed.

By bringing CARA first to India, Stellantis is emphasising the country’s rising role as a global technology hub for automotive innovation. India is not only contributing to Stellantis’ software roadmap but is also leading the way with innovations like CARA, which are designed locally and deployed globally.

The Citroën Basalt: Where Bold Design Meets Everyday Practicality

The Citroën Basalt makes a commanding first impression by blending the muscular stance of an SUV with the sleek profile of a coupé. Signature styling elements such as the Piano Black grille with dual chevrons, diamond-cut R16 alloys, and a full LED lighting package — including Vision projector headlamps, LED DRLs, front fog lamps, and 3D-effect tail lamps — give the Basalt a road presence that is both modern and unmistakably Citroën. With 180 mm ground clearance and optimized approach and departure angles, it balances elegance with all-terrain confidence.

Inside, the Basalt reflects Citroën’s century-long comfort DNA, offering class-leading cabin space, a segment-first Smart Tilt Cushion with adjustable thigh support, tropicalized Auto AC with rear vents, and Advanced Comfort® suspension that delivers Citroën’s famed “flying carpet” ride — ensuring relaxed journeys in all conditions.

Technology seamlessly enhances convenience, with a 26 cm Citroën Connect Infotainment system, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, a 17.7 cm digital driver display, wireless charger, and My Citroën Connect 2.0 offering over 40+ connected features such as remote start, AC pre-conditioning, and geo-fencing.

Safety remains uncompromised, with an 85% high-grade steel structure, six airbags, ESP, Hill Hold Control, TPMS, ISOFIX mounts, and a Perimetric Alarm — delivering over 40 active and passive safety features as standard.

Under the hood, the Basalt is powered by Citroën’s PureTech engines — the 1.2L Gen 3 Turbo (110 PS, 205 Nm) and the PureTech 82 NA, paired with 5MT, 6MT, and 6AT transmission options for a dynamic yet efficient drive.

With the debut of CARA — India’s first intelligent in-car companion — alongside the Basalt X Range, Citroën signals a new phase of growth in India, focused on aspirational design, intelligent mobility, and customer-first innovation. Test drives will be available across dealerships from mid-September, with deliveries beginning in the festive season.
