With its sleek, flowing good looks, Citroën’s new five seat C4 Picasso is distinctively different from both its five seat competitors and its seven seat stable mate, the
Grand C4 Picasso. Now on sale in the UK, the C4 Picasso is not only arguably the most attractive compact MPV on the market, but it also benefits from the lightest, most spacious interior in its sector as well as the latest cutting-edge technology.

Citroën’s designers have taken the award-winning Grand C4 Picasso and created a five seat compact MPV that is refreshingly individual, combining a dynamic new styling, featuring re-designed front and rear ends, with exceptional levels of comfort, a highly practical interior seating lay-out and even an all-new version of the versatile
Modubox folding trolley.

As well as offering superb all-round visibility and an extremely light and airy interior, this latest Citroën is packed full of firsts for the five seat compact MPV sector. A parking space measurement system, Hill Start Assist, automatic electric parking brake, air quality sensor, scented air freshener, Lane Departure Warning System, self-levelling suspension and paddleshift gearchange are all available, many as standard.

In the hugely competitive compact MPV market, which accounts for one in ten new car sales, the arrival of the five seat C4 Picasso means that Citroën is the only manufacturer to offer three different compact MPVs, with the new model sitting between the hugely successful Xsara Picasso and the seven seat Grand C4 Picasso. In addition, with its C8 full-size people carrier and versatile Berlingo Multispace budget MPV, Citroën offers arguably the most complete range of MPVs around.

Dynamic and visually arresting, the C4 Picasso’s powerful yet elegant new front end combines smart chrome chevrons with a completely re-designed bumper section that incorporates air intakes covered in a sporty black mesh. The signature wave-shaped waistline can be highlighted in chrome and, rounding off the eye-catching side profile, can be complemented by a range of stylish 16, 17 and 18 inch alloy wheels.

The rear of the car is where the C4 Picasso really stands apart from the seven seat model, presenting its own individual personality. The rear windows wrap around the pillars, above the unique horizontal design of the rear lights, to give a virtually uninterrupted all-glass look to the upper half of the vehicle.

On the inside the feeling of space in the front is accentuated by the deliberately simple design of the dash. Many of the usual buttons are cleverly incorporated into the
C4 Picasso’s innovative fixed centred controls steering wheel, while individual controls for the vents and air conditioning are conveniently positioned at either end of the dash.

Freeing up even more space, the handbrake is replaced by an automatic electric parking brake and the traditional gear lever, on models with the electronic gearbox system, is replaced by a paddleshift gearchange and mode selector stalk.

The C4 Picasso is particularly remarkable for the vast expanse of glass that surrounds it, creating a light and bright environment for all onboard. The wide angle panoramic windscreen is the biggest in the class and rises up and over the heads of the front seat occupants, providing a field of vision that is double that of a standard MPV.

The slim design of the windscreen pillars combines with the large quarter light windows and panoramic windscreen to ensure that the C4 Picasso offers the best driver’s visibility of any five seat compact MPV. Assisted by the kinked wave in the waistline the C4 Picasso also offers rear passengers the best visibility in the sector, while the huge optional panoramic sunroof allows even more light to pour in from above.

Artificial light also has a key role to play, with the availability of up to 30 different li
