Citroën South Africa has confirmed the arrival of the all-new Citroën Basalt, a new model scheduled to go on sale locally at the end of Q1 2026.
What is it?
Representing a fresh interpretation of the modern family vehicle, the Basalt introduces a distinctive SUV-Coupé offering to the local B-segment, Citroën claims.
The Basalt forms part of Citroën’s global C-CUBED programme and reinforces the brand’s commitment to delivering vehicles that are simple, comfortable, sustainable and daring, all values that remain central to Citroën's global product strategy, the French automaker states.
Positioned between a traditional hatchback and an SUV, the Basalt has been developed for customers seeking the space and presence of an SUV, combined with the efficiency, design appeal and accessibility of a compact passenger vehicle.
The model is positioned to appeal to young professionals and growing families seeking a more expressive alternative to conventional offerings, while remaining accessible to own and operate.
Key features include:
The Basalt will complement the recently updated Citroen C3 and C3 Aircross range.
More information, including detailed specifications and pricing, will be made available closer to the official launch.
