Citroen has revealed further pictures of its subcompact minivan ahead of the C3 Picasso’s public debut in October at the Paris Motor Show. The funky 5-seater MPV that is based on the Peugeot 207 platform and mechanics, measures 4.08m long, 1.73m wide and 1.62m tall. As you’d expect from a Citroen MPV, the C3 Picasso’s interior is designed to maximize space and versatility. Among other things, the C3 Picasso is equipped with split-folding rear seats that slide independently. When the driver needs extra storage space, the rear seats can be folded away while a mobile boot floor provides a level loading space up to the first row seat back. Moreover, the front passenger seat can also be folded completely flat to increase the load length and to create a table top. -Continued
The C3 Picasso will arrive in the European market during the first quarter of 2009 with a choice of two new-generation petrol units available – the 1.4-liter 95hp and 1.6-liter 120hp – as well as two diesels, the 1.6 HDi 90hp and 1.6 HDi 110hp.
