Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
Citroen Basalt
  • Looks! Coupe SUV design turns a lot of heads
  • Rear seat space — great kneeroom and foot room
  • Ample headroom despite sloping roof
  • HUGE 470-litre boot space, will accommodate a whole lot more than just a weekend’s worth of luggage easily
Citroen Basalt
  • Bare basic feature list - Sunroof, cruise control, push-button start stop are sorely missed
  • 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine does not feel refined
  • Automatic gearbox is slow to respond
