CITROEN C4 PICASSO GETS A LITTLE BROTHER!
Citroën, Europe’s number one people mover manufacturer, has announced details of an exciting new addition to its award-winning Picasso family - the innovative, stylish and ingenious C3 Picasso.
With an intrepid personality, spacious interior, intuitive layout, and nimble road manners, the Citroen’s newest people mover will make its debut in October at the Paris Motor Show alongside its big brother, the Citroen C4 Picasso.
The creative C3 Picasso brings together the often contradictory elements of strength and charm, contemporary styling and retro, round shapes and square and vast volumes and flowing lines. This impish new car really has a unique personality and presence all of its own.
As would be expected from a Citroën people mover, comfort and practicality are key priorities.
With external dimensions measuring 4.08m long, 1.73m wide and 1.62m tall, the C3 Picasso is deceptively spacious internally, the modular layout provides a user-friendly environment that can allow individuals to optimise the cabin space.
The split-folding rear seats slide independently, offering the best possible legroom or load space. When extra storage space is required, the rear seats can be folded away in one effortless motion using simple seatback mounted controls, whilst a mobile boot floor provides a level loading space up to the first row seat back. To benefit fully from the space in the car, the front passenger seat can also be folded completely flat to increase the load length and to create a table top.
Just like the C4 Picasso, the C3 Picasso offers occupants a light and bright driving environment thanks largely to an innovative three-part windscreen that helps give the car one of the largest glazed areas in the segment. The high-seating position gives drivers optimum visibility, whilst the wraparound windows and a panoramic glass roof allow light to flood into the cabin.
The C3 Picasso will be launched in Europe with a choice of engines that offer both good performance and economy, with two new-generation petrol units available as well as two diesels.
With availability to the Australian market yet to be confirmed, Citroen Australia has not confirmed a launch date locally for the C3 Picasso while it examines the suitability of the C3 Picasso for the local market.
