Citroen India has announced significant year-end discounts on its mass market portfolio. Other than the C5 Aircross, the French carmaker is offering benefits and discounts on the Basalt coupe-SUV, Aircross SUV, C3 hatchback and the eC3 EV. And it isn't too surprising, if one looks at the brand's wholesale figures for the last six months. In the June-November period, an average of just 648 units were despatched to dealers.

Citroen Basalt discounts in December 2024
Up to Rs 80,000 off
Citroen's answer to the Tata Curvv, along with the large selection of mid-size SUVs, gets benefits and discounts to the tune of Rs 80,000. After a peak of 579 units in the month of its launch, Basalt sales have been steadily slowing, with just 47 sold in November 2024. However, the coupe-SUV is still the highest-selling Citroen in the August to November period, with average wholesales of 198 units since its launch.
As is usually the case, discounts will vary depending on the variant selected. The Basalt comes with four trims – You, Plus, Max and Max Dual Tone – and two engine options – an 82hp, 1.2-litre petrol and a 110hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol – though it's only the stronger unit that gets an automatic gearbox option.
