NCAP 4★

The Basalt is a no-nonsense compact sedan that prioritizes comfort and efficiency over flashy features. At ₹8.55 lakh, it offers a solid package with 108 bhp, 19.5 km/l efficiency, and ventilated seats—genuine priorities for daily commuters. While it skips advanced driver aids and a sunroof, what's here is thoughtfully chosen and well-executed for the money.

  • Useful 470L boot for daily needs

!Gives us pause

  • No sunroof limits perceived premium feel
  • 105 bhp won't excite those wanting spirited performance
  • Only 5 tech features feel basic against some rivals
