The all-new C4 Picasso is head and
shoulders above anything Citroen has ever done in this segment. The five-seater
is 4cm shorter than the outgoing model and also 4cm lower, but clever packaging
means it’s actually bigger inside. As customers demand, it’s extremely
versatile inside and there’s a real design flair to the interior for the first
time. It’s also the first sub-100g/km car in the class and my 1.6-litre 115bhp
diesel test car, with six-speed manual, was perfectly pleasant to drive. Don’t
expect sporty, but it’s quiet, refined and offers a a good balance of low-speed
manoeuvrability and faster cruising.
