Wait for the Citroen Basalt or buy a C3 Aircross with discounts

I've been driving a Renault Captur diesel and recently the Citroen dealer offered me a mouth-watering deal on a C3 Aircross 7-seater. However, I have my eyes on the stunning Basalt. Should I wait for it or get the C3 Aircross at a huge discount?

Autocar India says: Since you're smitten by the Basalt's coupe-SUV design, we'd suggest you defer your purchase by a few months and wait for it. Besides its design, the Basalt is likely to get many comfort and convenience features that the C3 Aircross misses, which are likely to enhance your ownership experience. The Basalt will share its powertrain, mechanicals as well as several components with the C3 Aircross, so expect it to be just as fundamentally sorted.
