The second-generation Citroën C4 Picasso range was launched in 2013, and has been very successful. So, building on this success, welcome in the new Citroën C4 Picasso range with even more dynamism, distinction and comfort on offer.
Boasting a new front end, a two-tone body and roof option and even more personalisation possibilities, travelling in the New C4 Picasso promises to be a unique and pleasurable experience. The new C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso now feature:
The new C4 Picasso is a modern and innovative MPV with a strong and expressive styling that makes it distinctive, with dynamic lines and unique front and rear light signatures. And the new C4 Picasso builds on that styling, as Linda Jackson, CEO of Citroën, says:
“For us, the New Citroën C4 Picasso is a showcase of our finest know-how. In addition to its unique, modern and dynamic styling, it offers an incomparable level of comfort. With its architecture and the EMP2 platform, it brings motorists spaciousness, modularity and on-road qualities that enhance the well-being of all passengers. Today we are equipping it with a set of new useful technologies that simplify everyday life and improve safety. New C4 Picasso has everything it takes to be a leader in the European market.”.
To add to the look of the new range, and to enhance the personalisation options on both the New Citroën C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso, a new body colour palette has been introduced, made up of four existing colours - Polar White, Ruby Red, Shark Grey, and Onyx Black - and three new ones - Lazuli Blue, Soft Sand, and Cumulus Grey.
And that's not all.
Citroen have looked at the cabin and the interior design scheme too, and offer each customer a cabin design that best reflects their lifestyle, with four fully distinct interior design schemes available.
There is the standard design scheme for the lead-in models that has stayed as it is, but then three new designs have been added.
For those who set their sights on well-being and comfort there is the ‘Dune Beige’ Ambience design. This option features The Relax Pack, which offers extra-support headrest at the front of the car and a front passenger seat with an electric powered leg rest, as well as a design scheme that comprises Yatago Grey cloth, special protective mats and an ambient fragrance dispenser. It is also available with two-tone black and amber full Nappa Leather upholstery.
And finally, for those that want an experience more in keeping with business class, there is the ‘Hype Grey’ Ambience design, complete with elegant Slate Grey half-leather upholstery, rear sunblinds and LED reading lights.
While we are talking about the interior of the New C4 Picasso range, it's probably time to mention the comfort that can be enjoyed during the drive, with both the new Citroën C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso offering an outstanding combination of comfort and agility, with an extensive range of onboard equipment to ensure that a drive is as good as it can possibly be.
Both the new Citroën C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso benefit from a striking balance between driving pleasure and road holding thanks to a new suspension and intelligent traction control that offers improved traction on low-grip surfaces. And the interior comfort is added to by a cocoon-like acoustic and vibration comfort inside the cabin.
Speaking of which.
So, as you can see, there is plenty of space available, and its helped by lots of boot space, with the new C4 Picasso five-seat offering a large loading area measuring 537-litres. Both the Citroën C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso come with a Hands-Free Tailgate function that allows users to easily open the boot with foot movement when their hands are full, thanks to a sensor located under the rear bumper.
Space is added to by a plethora of storage areas that includes a lit compartment in the centre of the lower dashboard and a removable modular console between the driver and passenger seats on versions equipped with an automatic gearbox.
The sense of space and openness is exaggerated by the standard panoramic windscreen, with the optional panoramic glass sunroof offering even more light and exceptional visibility to all passengers, aided and abetted by fully customisable ambient lighting throughout the cabin.
All New C4 Picasso’s passengers travel in first-class style, and this can be improved by optional heated front seats or the Relax Pack, which includes wraparound extra-support headrests and massaging front seats, all dressed in an extended line-up of premium cloth and leather trims - even down to a specially treated dashboard and soft-touch door panels.
As you can see from the spacious cabin, the seat comfort and the various available interior design schemes, Citroën has paid meticulous attention to occupants’ physical and mental well-being of both driver and passengers with their Citroën Advanced Comfort® programme based on filtering out external noise and vibrations, with a specific focus on suspension, seating and acoustic comfort; easier travelling, with a well-designed and practical interior, ingenious storage spaces and easily accessible controls; intuitive technology and useful driving aids, particularly looking at the links between the digital world and the car; reducing the mental load of the driver and everyone onboard, displaying only truly useful information.
And now, Citroen has added even more intelligent driving aids to the 2016 New C4 Picasso. These include:
When it comes to infotainment and telematics, once again Citroen have not scrimped.
The new Citroën C4 Picasso is available with a range of best-in-class PureTech and BlueHDi petrol and diesel engines with the expected fuel economy and low emissions:
Fuel consumption for both the five and seven-seat models is limited to 55.4mpg (on the combined cycle) and CO2emissions of 115g/km, with the new PureTech 130 S&S turbocharged 3-cylinder petrol engine with full auto EAT6 transmission proving that "downsizing can serve to enhance performance and driving sensations.
Equipped with direct high-pressure injection and a new-generation high-yield turbo, it offers a remarkable driving experience right from the lowest engine speeds with maximum torque of 230Nm coming in at 1,750rpm. It also boasts the best-possible compromise between low-speed torque and power on the market, with 95% of torque available from 1,500rpm through to 3,500rpm, making it an exceptional performer in all circumstances."
