In a move that has generated a great deal of interest, Citroën has announced the upcoming arrival of the Citroën Basalt Dark Edition through a teaser image. This new model is set to add to the already popular Basalt range, with the aim of capturing a larger slice of the market.
Until now, the success of the Citroën Basalt has been driven primarily by its competitive price, which positions it as one of the most affordable options in the compact SUV segment. With the Dark Edition, the brand seems to want to shift the focus to another crucial aspect: the quality of the finish. It is speculated that this version will offer a higher level of trim, aiming to satisfy customers who do not want to compromise on style and details, while remaining in the compact segment.
Although specific technical details or the full equipment list have not yet been disclosed, the initiative is part of Citroën’s strategy to “strengthen the appeal” of the Basalt. More information on the design, standard equipment and price list of the Citroën Basalt Dark Edition will be released soon.
