The SUV Coupé features a fully independent suspension system and also includes a drive mode selector that allows drivers to choose between Eco, Normal, and Sport modes, adapting the vehicle’s performance to different driving conditions.
Inside, the Basalt is designed with leather upholstery and a panoramic sunroof. It includes a 5-seat configuration. The cabin is equipped with a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a fully digital instrument cluster.
