While the 2024 New York Auto Show garners attention from enthusiasts worldwide, some automakers remain indifferent, like Citroen, whose cars are absent from the U.S. market. Nevertheless, Citroen seized the opportunity to reveal its latest concept, the Basalt, a quirky crossover coupe destined for production.
Named after a volcanic rock, the Basalt boasts distinctive styling that sets it apart from the crowd. With its sloping roofline, angular tailgate, and funky design cues, it offers a look into Citroen’s vision for the future.
Built on the Smart Car Platform, the Basalt promises practicality and performance, tailored for markets like India and South America. Rumored to offer gasoline and electric powertrains, it represents Citroen’s commitment to innovation and sustainability in the automotive industry.
While the Basalt may not grace American roads, its bold design and forward-thinking features hint at Citroen’s future direction, leaving enthusiasts eagerly awaiting its production debut.
