Citroen Basalt X Comfort Edition: What’s New
While not a major upgrade, this Comfort Edition aims to add a slightly premium feel to the coupe-SUV’s base and mid-spec variants.
Opting for this special edition adds Metropolitan Beige leatherette seat upholstery to uplift the interior ambience, while the curated AXS accessory packs add tech such as a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless phone charger, a JBL-branded sound system, rear parking camera and a dual dashcam.
Other Features & Safety
Although the top-end Max variant is not offered with the Comfort Edition, it still comes equipped with features such as wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ventilated front seats, cruise control, auto-dimming IRVM and automatic climate control.
In terms of safety, the Basalt X employs features such as 6 airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), 360-degree camera, ISOFIX child seat anchors, hill hold control (HHC) and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). It has also received a 4-star rating in Bharat NCAP, the details of which you can find here.
