CITROËN C3 PICASSO PEOPLE

Appealing to young families and older, active individuals, the C3 Picasso is an attractive package, combining stylish and bold good looks, a pleasurable driving experience, unrivalled space, adaptable storage options and value for money.
C3 Picasso buyers lead active lifestyles and need a car that will give them the freedoms of space, versatility and comfort. They are style conscious, appreciate quality design and believe that their car makes a statement about them, at the same time they are practically minded, requiring simple functionality.
They are environmentally considerate and want to limit their carbon footprint yet they still need the robust space to transport their family comfortably and safely. They are individual thinkers and not afraid to be different but they don’t want to be unconventional or weird.
As consumers they are drawn to things that express their personality - in the same way they are attracted to an iPod, they want a car that is contemporary, uncomplicated, useful and stylish. The C3 Picasso delivers on all these requirements.

STYLING

The spirited Citroën C3 Picasso takes an exciting new direction in body design, blending the roomy, versatile shapes of an MPV with the quality, agility and comfort of a family hatchback.
From the outside, the C3 Picasso’s cube-like body shape, with its short overhang at the front and rear, instantly communicates the important design focus placed upon maximising internal space, whilst the smooth, rounded curves that soften the contours of the body form an expression of fluidity and purpose, and make it easy to park.

ROOMINESS

Measuring 4.08m long, 1.73m wide and 1.62m tall, the C3 Picasso offers huge dimensions for such a small car. The innovative design of the C3 Picasso’s compact exterior and long wheelbase, create one of the biggest cabin lengths in its class spanning 1.66m – a rival for some MPVs in the segment above.
The C3 Picasso’s generous internal volumes mean occupants benefit from more roominess than any other model in the class. The high-set seats and use of slim seat-backs in the front optimises space for rear passengers who enjoy some of the best knee room in the class, even with the rear bench moved forward.  Elbow room in both the front and rear is the best in the segment at 1.43m and 1.40m respectively.
Access to the C3 Picasso’s cabin is made easy by straighter, more rectangular doors that, because of the long wheel base, don’t hang over the wheel arches, creating a larger aperture for users to climb in and out.

 BIG BOOT

Thanks to the car’s vertical rear the C3 Picasso’s huge boot is the biggest in its segment with a record-breaking 500-litre VDA aperture with all five seats in place and 1506-litres with the rear bench folded completely flat. Magnetic flaps, fitted in the backs of the rear seats, fold out to extend the flat surface between the bench and the boot floor – a simple but intelligent design feature.
Adding to the car’s smart versatility, the C3 Picasso also features an adjustable boot floor which can either sit level with the boot sill for easy loading or can be lowered to increase storage height in the rear. The clever boot floor also provides a hidden storage area, ideal for stowing valuable items out of sight. The three-part luggage cover, which can be used to conceal the entire boot’s contents, can be neatly stowed away when not in use in this under-floor compartment.

ADAPTABILITY

The C3 Picasso’s interior was designed to redefine user-friendliness with an intuitive design that can optimise interior space quickly and effortlessly.
The modularity of the C3 Picasso’s cabin design means that in one simple hand movement the rear seats can be tumbled forward to create a flat load surface that extends right up to the front seat backs. The rear seats split fold 60:40, both parts are entirely independent, and can slide back and forth to either maximise boot volume or rear passenger legroom. On Exclusive models, the front passenger’s seat can also be folded down into a completely flat desk position, further extending the platform to an impressive 2.41m of flat load space.
Aircraft-style trays mounted on the backs of the front seats featuring integrated reading lights and cup-holders are available. And a fold down armrest in the centre of the rear seats with a built in compartment also provides a ‘ski-flap’ allowing access to the boot for transporting long objects without folding the seats down.

USEFUL SPACES

Like its C4 Picasso siblings, the C3 Picasso also features a variety of innovative and practical storage compartments – a place for each object and passenger.
There are also two useful storage sills for both driver and front passenger, ideal for pens, finished with attractive and functional non-slip trim.
Providing simple, easy to access storage for the driver, the C3 Picasso also features a box in the upper centre of the dashboard with a push-pull lid, dampened opening and soft touch finish. This handy compartment also houses the built in air freshener. Further storage spaces are available such as a drawer under the front passenger seat, ideal for maps, as well as, rear in-floor compartments, cup holders, and stowage nets.
