Citroën's Line
C4 Picasso 5-Seater, the Visiospace...
Presentation
Following the successful launch of the Grand C4 Picasso (7-seater) visiospace, Citroën is continuing to extend its MPV
range with the launch in first-quarter 2007 of its second visiospace, the uniquely styled C4 Picasso (5-seater).
Citroën is the only manufacturer to market three compact MPVs, each with its distinctive personality and styling.
With its dynamic, assertive and unique styling, together with its dimensions (4.47 m long, 1.83 m wide and 1.66 m high),
road performance, and innovative visiospace features, the C4 Picasso fits naturally into Citroën’s compact MPV range
between the Xsara Picasso and the Grand C4 Picasso.
As with its saloon models, the Marque has created a real range of MPVs with differentiated design and specifications.
The range now includes the compact MPVs, Xsara Picasso, C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso, together with the large MPV,
the C8.

Style
The C4 Picasso immediately stands out with its dynamic, attractive styling.
The newcomer has all the advantages of an MPV, such as class-leading cabin and boot space and a commanding driving
position, along with all-new features inherent to the visiospace concept: outstanding peripheral visibility and
light, easy-to-use modular design, uncluttered interior space, and the highest levels in onboard comfort.
The C4 Picasso is also a pleasure to drive and boasts particularly surefooted roadholding.
Equipments
Right from the first level of trim, the C4 Picasso is equipped with new features for onboard comfort,
along with driving aids and safety functions rarely found in this segment :
- The suspension quality – a constant priority for Citroën – is outstanding on all versions of the C4 Picasso. According to trim level, the metal suspension can be replaced with pneumatic suspension on the rear axle (except for models fitted with the 1.8i 16V engine).
- A top-level acoustic comfort and vibration control. Citroën has paid close attention to achieving the best levels in acoustic comfort and vibration control.
- An excellent thermal comfort. The C4 Picasso is equipped with the new air conditioning system introduced on the Grand C4 Picasso.
- A warm ambient light and useful lighting.
Engines
The vehicle is available from launch with four high-performance engines that are frugal on fuel and respect the environment :
- petrol engines include the 127 bhp DIN 1.8i 16V unit mated to a manual 5-speed gearbox, along with the 143 bhp DIN 2.0i 16V with the 6-speed electronic gearbox system or – depending on the country – a 4-speed automatic;
- two diesels, both fitted as standard with a particulate filter (DPFS), of which the 110 bhp HDi DPFS mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox or the 6-speed electronic gearbox system, and the 138 bhp HDi DPFS with the 6-speed electronic gearbox system or a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
