THE NEW CITROËN C3 PICASSO

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX

STYLISH – SPACIOUS – BRIGHT – PRACTICAL

ENGINES

The C3 Picasso is available with a choice of four 5-speed manual engines from launch – two new petrol engines, which have been co-developed with BMW and two well established HDi diesel units – allowing drivers to select their ideal blend of agile city performance and long-distance fuel economy.

The two petrol units – VTi 95 and VTi 120 – combine efficient economy with responsive performance and lowered CO2 emissions – the VTi 120 already complies with future Euro V pollution standards and emits just 159g/km of CO2.

Both diesel engines – the HDi 90 and HDi 110 DPFS – are from Citroën’s impressive HDi line up boasting near 60mpg fuel economy and low combined-cycle CO2 emissions of just 125g/km and 130g/km respectively. The HDi 110 also features an ‘overboost’ function that increases turbo pressure when an extra burst of power is needed.

The HDi 110 unit’s low emissions and particulate filter system (DPFS) fitted as standard means that it qualifies for Citroën’s Airdream® signature, a label reserved only for the Company’s most environmentally respectful vehicles. Citroën’s HDi diesel range can also be run on up to 30% bio-diesel, without modification.
