Citroën has shown a new, sportier version of the Basalt coupe-SUV. It is called the Basalt Vision, and it was unveiled at the 2025 São Paulo Motor Show. This version gets a bold design, a lower stance, and sharper styling. Since India is a major market for Citroën, this sporty edition may also launch here soon.
The Basalt Vision does not get a new engine or mechanical upgrade. Instead, Citroën has focused on design, stance, and better handling feel.
Lower Ride Height for Better Stability
The biggest change in the Basalt Vision is its lower suspension. This makes the SUV sit closer to the road.
A lower setup helps with:
- Better high-speed stability
- Better cornering
- A stronger road presence
Even with the lower stance, Citroën says the car still has practical ground clearance for daily use.
Sportier and Sharper Exterior Design
The Basalt Vision gets many new styling changes to make it look more aggressive.
Key Exterior Highlights:
- Sharper front and rear bumpers
- Large air-intake-style cutouts
- Dual chrome-finished exhaust tips
- Gloss-black body cladding
- Dark skid plates
- Red highlights on the exterior
- Blacked-out Citroën logo for a sporty touch
New 18-inch Alloy Wheels with Red Accents
The Basalt Vision comes with 18-inch petal-style alloy wheels. It also gets:
- Red brake calipers
- Red touches on the spoiler
- Red styling on exterior trim pieces
These changes make the SUV look more powerful and performance-focused.
