Which Citroen BasaltX variant should you buy?
There are 6 ways to buy a BasaltX, across 4 trims, from ₹8.55L to ₹13.90L ex-showroom Delhi.
Pound for pound the ladder pays best at Plus: ₹1.44L more than You, and no rung you pay extra for hands back more kit per rupee.
Above that, the one to think hardest about is Turbo Plus. At ₹1.58L over Plus it asks the most per feature of anything higher up the range, so take it because you want what it adds, not because it is next.
How this is worked out: every step below compares the cheapest way into one trim with the cheapest way into the next, then weighs what the money buys against what it costs. No opinion is added on top, and nothing is rounded in a trim's favour. Read the full method.
