Citroen Launches New AircrossX and BasaltX Variants With eC3X

Citroen India has officially expanded its vehicle lineup by launching new variants for the AircrossX, BasaltX, and the electric eC3X. This update introduces affordable turbocharged options, naturally aspirated CNG versions, and an extended range EV model reaching 330 km. With pricing starting at Rs 6.99 lakh under a Battery as a Service scheme, the automaker aims to make premium mobility highly accessible to all buyers.

New Turbocharged and CNG Options for AircrossX and BasaltX

Citroen continues to enhance its internal combustion engine offerings by giving customers exactly what they want: choice and affordability. The latest updates to the AircrossX and BasaltX models bring in both turbocharged performance and highly efficient naturally aspirated engines with CNG compatibility.

AircrossX Pricing and Details

For those looking for peppy performance without breaking the bank, the brand has introduced the Aircross You Turbo Comfort Edition. This variant makes the powerful turbo engine far more accessible for driving enthusiasts. On the other hand, buyers looking for maximum fuel efficiency can opt for the Max naturally aspirated variant which is now available with a factory fitted CNG kit.

• The You Turbo Comfort Edition is aggressively priced at Rs 10.69 lakh.
• The Max naturally aspirated variant is priced at Rs 11.62 lakh.
• Both models continue to offer class leading comfort and premium suspension tuning.

BasaltX Pricing and Details

The stylish BasaltX receives a very similar mechanical treatment, making it one of the most attractive options in its segment. It caters to both performance seekers and mileage conscious commuters.

• The BasaltX You Turbo variant starts at a highly competitive Rs 9.99 lakh.
• The top tier Max naturally aspirated version, also available with a CNG powertrain, is priced at Rs 11.34 lakh.

The eC3X Extended Range Electric Vehiclex

Addressing range anxiety directly, Citroen has updated its electric hatchback to offer even more peace of mind. The new eC3X Extended version now boasts an impressive driving range of 330 km on a single charge. This makes it an incredibly practical choice for both daily city commutes and weekend highway getaways.

To make the electric transition easier on the wallet, the company offers this updated EV under its innovative Battery as a Service model.

• The vehicle shell is priced at an introductory Rs 6.99 lakh.
• Customers then pay a separate battery EMI based on usage, calculated at Rs 2.26 per km.

This dual finance structure completely removes the massive upfront cost usually associated with buying an electric car.

Flexible Step Up Finance Schemes

To support the launch of these new variants, Citroen has introduced a special step up finance scheme. Designed to reduce the initial financial burden on buyers, this loan structure allows for tenures of up to seven years.

In the crucial first year of ownership, the EMI outflow is significantly lower compared to standard car loans:

• Buyers of the BasaltX range can enjoy initial EMIs starting from just Rs 9,999.
• For the larger AircrossX range, the first year EMI starts at a highly manageable Rs 10,555.

This financing strategy ensures that upgrading to a premium turbocharged SUV or a long range EV remains easily within reach for average Indian families.

Conclusion

The introduction of the You Turbo and Max CNG variants across the AircrossX and BasaltX lineups shows that Citroen is closely listening to the Indian market. By offering everything from affordable turbo petrols to extended range electric vehicles with smart Battery as a Service pricing, the brand is building a highly versatile portfolio. The addition of lower initial EMI finance schemes further cements its commitment to providing exceptional value and comfort to car buyers across the country.
