The Basalt SUV has three variants – You, Plus and Max – which are further divided into sub-trims based on the engine type (naturally aspirated or turbocharged), transmission and whether they are single or dual tone. Notably, both You and Plus variants can be had with either an NA or a turbo engine, while the top-spec Max trim is offered exclusively in the turbo guise. Only the Basalt You lacks a turbo engine.
