New Citroen C3 Picasso MPV
At first we called it Minispace and then we called it StreetLounge but now we know for sure that the C3 based minivan from Citroen will adopt the Picasso name. It will be first seen by the eyes of the mere mortals that don’t work for Citroen, at the Paris motor show. But until then let’s review some of the tech details, shall we?
We will have a 4.08 m long MVP, 1.62 m tall and 1.73 m wide with a luggage compartment that will hold up to 500 l. It will be presented in 4 engine options: 2 turbodiesels 1.6-litre HDi, one with 90 bhp, the other with 110 bhp, and two petrol, 1.4-litre, generating 95 bhp, and the top-of-the-line 1.6-litre, rolling out 120 bhp.
Since it uses the Peugeot 207 platoform, the new C3 Picasso will be produced in South America, especially in Brazil. Actually the Brazil model is a 206 with a 207 front end and better suspensions. Neat trick Peugeot pulled out of their hat.
Let’s hope they will pull out a trick to make the C3 Picasso to be sold.
