All three Basalt Max AT variants share the same 1.2L turbocharged petrol engine that produces 110 PS and 205 Nm, paired with a smooth 6-speed torque converter automatic. 

The ARAI mileage is rated at 18.5 kmpl, while real-world fuel economy is closer to 13–14.5 kmpl in city use, depending on traffic and AC usage. 

Citroen has made it clear that if you want to save more you got to spend more. The standard Max Turbo AT, after applying the ₹2.80 lakh cash offer, now costs ₹13.27 lakh on-road, making it one of the most affordable turbo-petrol automatic. Compared to Curvv, you spend roughly a lakh for a nearly identical feature set.

The Dual Tone (₹13.51L on-road post-discount) only adds black roof styling with no feature upgrade. The Dark Edition (₹13.53L on-road) follows a blacked-out theme with dark alloys, matte grille inserts, and smoked finishes for buyers who dislike chrome. All trims offer top features such as standard LED DRLs, connected car tech, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, push-button start, digital cluster, wireless charging, rear wiper-washer, and rear AC vents.

 If you want a well-equipped turbo automatic SUV without crossing ₹14L, this Citroën easily undercuts comparable trims from Creta, Nexon, or Grand Vitara and right now, it’s one of the biggest cash deals available in Delhi NCR.

What’s the Actual Cost of Owning a Citroën Basalt Max AT in 2025?

All three Citroën Basalt Max Turbo AT variants (Standard, Dual Tone, and Dark Edition) are powered by a 1.2L turbo-petrol engine mated to a 6-speed automatic, delivering an impressive 18.7 kmpl in mixed city use. 

Turbo petrol engines are very sensitive to throttle inputs and as such will not be able to achieve that claimed mileage in most cases. We suggest you take about 12-14 kmpl as an average figure. 

Based on a petrol price of ₹100/litre and a 660 km monthly commute (30 km/day × 22 days), you’ll spend just ₹3,530/month or ₹42,360/year on fuel as per our calculator

 The standard on-road prices in Delhi range from ₹15.99 to ₹16.21 lakh, but after applying Citroën’s flat ₹2.80 lakh factory discount on MY24 stock, your first year effective on-road price falls between ₹13.19 lakh and ₹13.41 lakh making the Basalt Max AT one of the most value-packed turbo-automatics under ₹14 lakh in India today.

Let's address the elephant in the room first. Citroen Basalt does not come with a panoramic roof. The most affordable is ‘You’ variant, which gets you into the Basalt family for about ₹9.41 lakh on the road in Delhi. A fantastic safety feature is that even this entry-level car comes with six airbags, which is standard across the entire lineup.

If you're looking for something more than just basic A to B mundane hauler you'll need to climb up to the variants with the 1.2-litre turbo engine. These are the quickest models, capable of going from 0 to 100 km/h in just under 10 seconds.

 The cheapest way to get this turbo engine is in the 'Plus' manual variant at around ₹13.78 lakh. If you want the convenience of an automatic gearbox, that option starts with the 'Plus' Turbo AT for about ₹15.27 lakh.

The top of the ladder is the 'Max' variant, which is all about added style and is entirely skippable 

 Here you can opt for flashy Dual Tone paint jobs or the very popular all-black Dark Edition. The most expensive model of all, combining the turbo engine, automatic transmission, and the Dark Edition style, comes in at ₹16.37 lakh.
