Citroen revealed the exterior design along with the launch timeline of its upcoming coupe SUV, the Basalt in India. The fifth all-new product from the French automaker is set to make its debut in H2 of this year. And ahead of its official launch, the coupe SUV was spied testing late at night on the Indian tarmac.
