Citrroen C4 Picasso

Citroen C4 Picasso five-seat

This is the new five-seat version of the C4 Picasso following the seven-seat model shown at the Paris Motor Show, which will now to be known as the Grand C4 Picasso. Naturally enough then, the two cars will compete with the standard and Grand Renault Scenics, the new Citroen C4 Picasso also tackling the handsome Volkswagen Golf Plus.

The C4 Picasso shares its front half with its bigger stablemate while the rear has become more fastback in style, blackened pillars and dipping beltline also reminding of the Citroen C-Sportlounge concept. Four engines will be available from launch, outputs varying from 110PS for the base diesel to 143PS for the range-topping gas unit. Key dimensions are: length 4.47m, width 1.83m, height 1.66m. Maximum cargo capacity is 1734 liters. The Citroen C4 Picasso will be shown at the Geneva Motor Show, with sales beginning in Q1 alongside the surely moribund Xsara Picasso.
