New User Interface Design; It Different, Stands Out
The Basalt has a standout design, something rare in the grayness of SUVs that struggles to stand out among other vehicles. As befitting for a brand like Citroën, the Basalt sports its own unique and unconventional look: sharp front grille, slimline LED headlamps on either side with strong contrasting body flanks give it both modern and powerful proportions. Small but ideal for the town and has a bit of extra bump height over the ground to tackle those mild trails.
A Basalt is not only designed as a good-looking object. Its interior is spacious and well designed so the driver, as well as passengers, have enough room to stretch out. Despite the budget-friendly starting MSRP, high-quality materials and attention to detail give off a premium vibe in the cabin.
Highly advanced technologies packed

Safety continues to be one of the hats on Proton’s head and in our case, at least six airbags are standard fitment — topped off by rear parking sensors and a reverse camera. In addition, the Basalt grades come standard with advanced driver assists — including forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking as well as lane departure alert.
Performance That Excites
