Citro‘n's C4 Picasso MPV Is A Trendsetter

Citro‘n's C4 Picasso MPV Is A Trendsetter

Date: 2014-09-12
Citro‘n is confident its new C4 Picasso multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) or people-mover will be another global trendsetter, thereby following in the tracks of the original Xsara Picasso, which was launched to much acclaim in 1999. Initial response to the latest model from the motoring press and buyers in Europe, where it was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, has been very positive and enthusiastic.

Two derivatives of the C4 Picasso have joined the rapidly growing range of Citro‘n vehicles on sale in South Africa - the Seduction and Intensive - both powered by a 1.6-litre e-HDi 115 turbo diesel engine developing 85kW of power and 270Nm of torque. Power goes to the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.

These smooth-running engines offer sparkling performance with a top speed of 189km/h and 11.8 seconds for the 0-100km sprint, while fuel economy is very impressive too, with a consumption of 4 litres per 100km for the combined cycle with CO2 emissions of only 105g/km.

Travelling becomes a relaxing experience on the new C4 Picasso with the exclusive Lounge Pack comprising front seats with a massage and seat warming function while the front passenger can also stretch his or her legs using the extending seat squab. All the seats are fitted with Relax headrests to provide optimum neck support. It is like travelling Business Class!

As one would expect from Citro‘n there is a vast array of standard safety and security equipment, including ABS brakes with electronic brake force distribution (EBD), emergency braking assistance (EBA), electronic stability control (ESC) with intelligent traction control; automatic activation of the hazard warning lights in case of rapid deceleration or impact, six air bags and a deflated tyre indicator.

The Citro‘n C4 Picasso comes with a 3-year/100 000km warranty, 5-year/100 000km service plan, 3-year 24-hour roadside assistance, with the extra cost option of extending the warranty to 5-years/100 000km. Then there is the option of purchasing Citro‘n Freedrive, which consists of a 5-year/100 00km warranty and a 5-year/100 000km maintenance plan.
