INTRODUCING...

CREATIVITY CUBED. PEOPLE TALK
ABOUT ‘THINKING OUTSIDE THE
BOX’ BUT WE’VE TAKEN THE BOX
AND ADDED A NEW DIMENSION.
FROM THE SEAMLESS CURVES OF ITS HEADLIGHTS, BONNET AND HUGE SWEEPING SCREEN,
TO THE BOLD CHUNKY FLANKS AND SHEER, ULTRA PRACTICAL TAILGATE, THE NEW CITROËN
C3 PICASSO IS PACKED WITH ORIGINAL IDEAS: IT DOESN’T JUST LOOK INGENIOUS, IT IS.
INTERIOR SPACE IS EXCEPTIONAL AND UNCLUTTERED, WHILE THOSE STYLISH DEEP WINDOWS
FLOOD EVERY INCH WITH NATURAL LIGHT. THIS IS A BRILLIANT PLACE TO TRAVEL WITH A
SERIOUSLY PRACTICAL STREAK.

LIFE IN WIDESCREEN. THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS TOO
MUCH WHEN IT COMES TO VISIBILITY ON THE MOVE. WITH
ITS STUNNING PANORAMIC WINDSCREEN THAT CURVES
ROUND INTO PERFECTLY INTEGRATED QUARTERLIGHTS, THE
NEW CITROËN C3 PICASSO OFFERS YOU A BROADER VIEW.
LIFE IN WIDESCREEN IS ALSO ABOUT LETTING MAXIMUM LIGHT IN, WHICH IS WHERE THE SUPER-SIZE SUNROOF, OPTIONAL ON VTR+ AND EXCLUSIVE MODELS,
COMES INTO ITS OWN. FLOWING SMOOTHLY ON WHERE THE WINDSCREEN STOPS, IT GIVES THE WHOLE CABIN AN AIRY OPEN FEEL AND CONTRIBUTES TO AN
AMAZING CITROËN C3 PICASSO FACT: THIS COMPACT CAR HAS NO LESS THAN 4.52M2OF GLAZING!
THE PLACE TO BE
Meanwhile, the interior is shaped and detailed to delight everyone who travels in it. There’s
generous space for ve and front seats have carefully shaped bolsters and high backs to locate
you perfectly – they even have raised bases to create extra foot room for rear passengers. The
tactile and clearly laid out dashboard places the instrument console high up in the centre for
maximum legibility, and there are two really useful storage areas immediately underneath on
either side, perfectly placed for driver and front passenger.

LIFE-SHAPED SPACE. NO TWO DAYS ARE THE SAME. NO
TWO JOURNEYS ARE THE SAME. THE CITROËN C3 PICASSO
UNDERSTANDS PERFECTLY AND ACCOMMODATES YOUR LIFE,
WHATEVER SHAPE THAT TAKES.
PERFECT FIT WITH
SPACEBOX STORAGE SYSTEM
With the back seats in their rearmost position,
you get 385 litres of luggage space and 500
litres with the seats forward and the parcel
shelf in place. With the rear seats folded, that
space rockets to an impressive 1506 litres,
and the removable, adjustable boot oor can
be positioned to make this load area perfectly
at and effortless to pack – especially as
there’s no tailgate lip to get in the way.
TAKE A SEAT…
The seemingly endless exibility is partly
thanks to clever, versatile seats. Fold the
front passenger seatback at and you can
accommodate long loads of up to 2.41 metres
– we did say long – while the rear seat splits
60/40 and can be folded easily with one
hand. Oh, and you can tilt rear seat backs
by 23 or 28 degrees and both sections
slide 15cm independently.

FROM SIMPLE STORAGE TO WINTER SPORTS
The 3 litre space that’s easy to access under the front passenger seat, and of course handy
stowage in the door panels are just the start. With the Spacebox+ Storage System on
Exclusive models, you’ll nd yet more room under the rear foot wells that’s perfect for kids
stuff, aircraft style tables on the rear of the front seats and the rear bench also features a ski
hatch for really long loads.
PERFECT SCENTS
Styled to attach seamlessly onto the dashboard vents, a range of scented air
fresheners bring you a variety of different fragrances to choose from – it’s a real
home from home detail and a little luxury.

YOU ARE HERE!
The optional MyWay colour satellite navigation system on Exclusive models, at the top of the
centre console, has a 7” 16/9 screen, and its SD card integrated European mapping brings
you live trafc information, voice guidance and graphics in 2D or aerial perspective. It also
features a Bluetooth® system. You’ll nd the optional USB box on VTR+ and Exclusive models
for complete connectivity. Cutting edge entertainment, navigation and communication are all
in the mix.

IN THE ZONE
Bristling with useful, safe and enjoyable technology, the Citroën C3
Picasso is a great place to be, for 5 minutes or 500 miles, especially
with its automatic digital air conditioning with dual-zone temperature
setting standard on Exclusive and optional on VTR+ models so that
front passengers get their own adjustment controls.
EVERY LITTLE TOUCH
On Exclusive models, everywhere you glance there are inspired
details and features. Take the aircraft style tables on the back of
the front seats; easy to use and instantly retractable, they have
their own reading lights. There’s even a handy boot retention
net and a torch for nocturnal outings that recharges itself when
replaced in the boot. Talking of the boot, all models feature a
height-adjustable load oor for maximum exibility, not to
mention under oor stowage compartments. Citroën C3 Picasso is
100% undiluted innovation – just add people!

TREAD SOFTLY, IN STYLE. IT MIGHT BE GOOD FUN TO THE
CORE, BUT THE NEW CITROËN C3 PICASSO GETS SERIOUS
WHEN IT COMES TO REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.
EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK, THERE IS TECHNOLOGY DEDICATED
TO BEING EFFICIENT AND ECONOMICAL.

NEXT GENERATION PETROL
Two advanced 16V petrol engines, the 1.4
litre 95hp VTi and the 1.6 litre 120hp VTi,
prove that you can enjoy petrol performance
and renement, while producing lower
emissions and excellent economy. Clever
valve technology and direct injection help
to strike the ideal balance.
THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE WITH DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER SYSTEM HAS CITROËN’S AIRDREAM
SIGNATURE SPEAKS VOLUMES AND DEMONSTRATES THE LATEST CITROËN GREEN THINKING. BUT
WHETHER YOU CHOOSE DIESEL OR PETROL POWER, YOU’LL BE DRIVING A CAR THAT KNOWS HOW
TO PUT ITS ENERGY TO GOOD USE.
DREAM DIESELS
The Citroën C3 Picasso has a choice of
two ultra-efcient diesel engines. Both are
1.6 litre 16V units with a 5-speed manual
gearbox. One produces 90hp and the
other 110hp and each uses high pressure
common rail injection and a turbo to deliver
smooth, punchy performance whenever
you need it. With the 110hp version, the
turbo can produce ‘overboost’ for a quick
surge of extra power – for safe overtaking
or avoiding trouble. The 110hp version
features the Diesel Particulate Filter System
for the cleanest possible exhaust gases,
making it worthy of the no compromise
Airdream signature. Both are amazingly
economical, around town or around the
country! The 90hp VTR+ and Exclusive
versions produce an amazing 125g/km of
CO2 emissions.
ROLL WITH IT
There’s nothing ordinary about the
Citroën C3 Picasso. Even the tyres tted
as standard on all 15” and 16” wheels
are the latest Energy Saver® designs from
Michelin. By having incredibly low rolling
resistance as you drive, with 16” wheels
the fuel consumption is reduced by an
extraordinary 4%.
13

ENERGY ABSORBING SIDE PROTECTION BEAMS ARE JOINED BY UP TO 6 AIRBAGS: 2 FOR DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER STANDARD ON ALL MODELS,
2 FRONT LATERAL AND 2 CURTAIN AIRBAGS STANDARD ON VTR+ AND EXCLUSIVE MODELS AND 2 CURTAIN AIRBAGS OPTIONAL AS PART OF THE
SAFETY PACK ON VT MODELS. ACTIVE SAFETY IS ALSO ASSURED THANKS TO SURE-FOOTED ROAD MANNERS IN EVERY SITUATION AND POWERFUL
BRAKES, NOT TO MENTION A WHOLE ARMOURY OF SOPHISTICATED ELECTRONIC DRIVING AIDS TO HELP YOU.

SPEED AND LIGHT
Standard on VTR+ and Exclusive models and optional as part of the Safety Pack, for effortless
control you can set a safe cruising speed that the car will maintain – limited until you decide
otherwise. As the light dims, the super-efcient headlights illuminate automatically – it’s
another sound safety feature standard on Exclusive and optional as part of the Automatic
Pack on VTR+ models that the Citroën C3 Picasso has covered.
THE STRONG ROOM. BRIGHT, ORIGINAL, INSPIRING,
SAFE. AS MUCH AS ANYTHING, THE CITROËN C3
PICASSO IS AN EXTREMELY WELL PROTECTED PLACE
TO TRAVEL.

ELECTRONICS ON YOUR SIDE
The standard ABS and Electronic Brakeforce
Distribution (EBD) combine with Emergency
Braking Assistance (EBA) and automatic
hazard warning light activation to bring
you a formidable safety package in an
emergency. Additionally, the Electronic
Stability Programme (ESP) standard on the
1.6HDi 110hp and optional on all other
Exclusive and VTR+ models senses any loss
of grip or stability and automatically corrects
your trajectory whilst using traction control
to limit skidding.
I SAW THAT!
For parents, there’s a really handy child surveillance mirror standard on VTR+ and Exclusive
models for keeping an eye on the riot squad in the back – no need for twisting and craning
round. There’s also an audible and light warning that alerts you if anyone isn’t belted up.
REAR PARKING SENSORS
Parking becomes stress-free with the new
Citroën C3 Picasso’s reverse parking sensors
on Exclusive models. An audible signal
warns you about obstacles giving you
added peace of mind.
