Citroën has increased prices of its Basalt X coupe-SUV by up to ₹40,000 in India, making the model slightly more expensive across most variants, according to recent updates from the company’s pricing revision cycle.The price hike applies immediately and affects nearly all variants of the Basalt X, except a few specific trims where adjustments differ. With the latest revision, the compact SUV-coupe now carries an ex-showroom price range starting at approximately ₹8.55 lakh and going up to nearly ₹13.95 lakh, depending on the variant and powertrain choice.
According to details of the update, the largest increase of ₹40,000 has been applied to most variants in the lineup, while certain trims such as select naturally aspirated petrol manual versions have seen a slightly lower hike of around ₹37,000. A few top-end variants have remained unchanged in price.
The Basalt X, which is positioned as a coupe-styled compact SUV, competes in a crowded segment against models such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Tata Curvv, and Maruti Suzuki’s mid-size SUVs. It is offered with multiple engine options, including a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol unit and a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, paired with manual and automatic gearbox choices.

Industry observers note that the price revision is part of a broader trend of automotive manufacturers adjusting prices in response to rising input costs and periodic product realignments. Citroën, like several other automakers in India, has been updating pricing across its portfolio in recent months without making mechanical or feature changes to the vehicles.
Despite the price increase, the Basalt X continues to be positioned as a value-focused offering in its segment, with features such as a modern interior layout, connected tech elements, and a focus on ride comfort. The model remains part of Citroën’s strategy to strengthen its presence in India’s fast-growing SUV market.With the revised pricing now in effect, prospective buyers will have to factor in the higher cost while evaluating variants, especially as competition in the compact SUV space continues to intensify.
