Product Overview

Citroen C3 Picasso is an entry-level subcompact minivan in production from 2008 to 2013, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.4 to 1.6 liters.
While the C3 Picasso could've been the French equivalent of Nissan's cute Cube, Citroen botched the design and made it an uglified hatchback. The vehicle came with a range of underpowered and unreliable engines and a chassis and suspension setup unworthy of the Citroen name.

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:
There are five seats inside, the rear row slides back and forth or can be folded flat into the floor by tugging on one little lever. The load space is colossal: 500 litres with the seats up and up to 1500 litres with them folded. Cabin ambience hasn't been a Citroen strong suit since the 1970s but there are no disappointments when you climb inside.
Pros
  • Sensible, practical cabin
  • Lots of fun to drive
Cons
  • Nothing new in terms of technical content
