Citroen Basalt Dark Edition teased ahead of launch. Here's what to expect

The Citroen Basalt is set to get a Dark Edition soon. The company has recently teased the upcoming Basalt Dark Edition on its social media handles. It is expected that the Citroen C3 Aircross and C3 will also get a Dark Edition later in the year.

The Citroen Basalt was launched earlier last year as the third model underpinning the company’s India-specific C-Cube platform. The recently released teaser suggests that the Citroen Basalt Dark Edition will get an all black exterior with the chrome bits replaced by dark chrome elements. This means that the chrome slats on the front grille and the Citroen and Basalt badges will get a dark chrome colour theme. Besides this, the dual tone 16 inch alloy wheels are expected to remain the same.

On the inside, the dark theme will continue. The teaser showcased an all black interior with black upholstery. Other than this, it is expected that the Basalt will retain the same interior layout with black elements. This would mean that the dashboard is expected to feature a single tone black layout, instead of the beige and bronze colour theme. The switches for the AC control are also expected to be finished in dark chrome.
