Citroën states that the Basalt Vision, a name derived from the volcanic rock meant to embody robustness and timeless serenity, blends several differing automotive characteristics into one platform. The Basalt Vision is the third model spawned from the firm’s C-Cubed programme and founded on the Smart Car Platform, derived from the PSA Group’s Common Modular Platform. The Basalt Vision’s siblings are founded on the same Smart Car Platform, and like the C3 and C3 Aircross, the Basalt Vision is specifically tailored to meet the needs of customers within the Indian and South American markets.

The new SUV Coupé is claimed to have dynamism associated with Coupés, the robustness of a high-riding SUV, and the balance of a five-door saloon. The B-segment concept is characterised by its receding and sloped roofline, aggressive and angled slim headlights overseeing a segmented grille. Detailed information regarding the Basalt Vision’s underpinnings is not yet available, but the B-segment SUV Coupé will debut in the Indian and South American markets in the second half of this year.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
