Hey friends, today we are talking about a car brand that is facing some challenges regarding its sales in India. This is also because people do not know this brand inside India; in other words, it is not popular in India.
If we look at the current figures, the monthly sales of the company are limited to only 300-500 units (combined across all models).
Earlier, Citroen had updated the C3 and Aircross SUVs in the market, but even after launching these SUVs, there has been no major turnaround in the overall performance of the brand.
Now we are getting an exclusive update according to which the brand is going to introduce some major feature upgrades in both its flagship SUVs so that it can attract buyers.
Now let's see what's new in this update and whether it will bring any positive change in its sales through the updated Citroen Basalt & Aircross SUV.

Updated Citroen Basalt – What’s New?
Citroen Basalt, which was launched in 2024, is available in the market as India’s cheapest coupe SUV. Just a year after its launch, the brand is deciding to do something new with it and is going to make it an updated Citroen Basalt with new comfort and tech features.
According to sources, Citroen is adding new features to both the Basalt and Aircross SUV. These new features will include:
- Dual connected display for infotainment and instrument cluster
- Ventilated seats
- 360-degree camera system
- Cruise control
- Push start button and many more new features
- Yes, one important thing is that, for now, there is no possibility of adding a sunroof in any model.
Enhanced Service Network of Updated Citroen Basalt.
Apart from features, the Citroen brand is working on another big strategy – that is to expand its service network. Till now, customers had to face service delays and limited service centers, which had a direct impact on the sales of the brand.
Now the company plans to expand the service network along with Jeep’s network, so that the customer experience is improved and sales can also get a boost in the future.
Updated Citroen Basalt & Aircross Expected Launch Date in India.
The company has not yet officially announced the exact launch dates of the updated Citroen Basalt & Aircross SUV. But based on the available details, it is expected that the updated Citroen Basalt and Aircross will be launched by the end of July or early August 2025.
Current Pricing and Expected Price.
Currently, the price of Citroen Basalt in India ranges between ₹9.72 lakh to ₹16.65 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). The pricing of Citroen Aircross ranges from ₹10.27 lakh to ₹17.23 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
With these new updates and additional features, it is expected that the price of these updated Citroen Basalt & Aircross models may increase slightly. But the value-for-money proposition will be kept in mind so that these SUVs can stand out in the competition in the market.
Will It Help Citroen’s Performance?
Now the question is, will these updates help improve Citroen’s performance in India? It remains to be seen whether, with the combination of feature-rich packages, improved service network, and competitive pricing, the brand will be able to survive in the market and see positive growth in its sales.
For now, these updates will definitely act as a fresh push for the brand and will help attract new buyers.
