It is a [[Front-wheel drive]] [[Mini MPV|mini MPV]] version of the [[Citroën]] [[Citroën C3|C3]] and successor to the [[Citroën Xsara Picasso]], designed to compete with the [[Opel Meriva|Vauxhall Meriva]], [[Nissan Note]] and the [[Fiat Idea]]. It was launched for the [[UK]] market on 9 April 2009. |
|||
The C3 Picasso was assembled in December 2007 at the [[PSA Trnava Plant]] in Slovakia, which Citroën announced from France in July 2008 would be the sole manufacturer of the model. Citroën presented the finished product to the Slovak press and public on 25 September before it was unveiled to the world in October at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The Trnava Plant by then was expected to be building 28 cars per hour as the C3 Picasso went on sale in France in February 2009 for {{currency|14,950|Eur}}. The company began to sell the car in other European markets in March 2009.<ref name="French Review and price">{{cite web|date=5 December 2008|title=French review and price|url=http://www.samar.pl/__/3/3.a/17755?locale=en_EN|access-date=19 April 2012|publisher=Rafal Zaglewski}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Slovakia plant and production information|url=http://s3.amazonaws.com/zanran_storage/www.psa-peugeot-citroen.com/ContentPages/24437781.pdf|access-date=14 August 2012|work=Trnava production information leaflet|publisher=PSA Peugeot Citroën}}</ref> |

*'''Passion Bleus''' was released in France to celebrate the [[UEFA Euro 2012|2012 European Football Championship]]. The name is a tribute to the [[France national football team]], which Citroën supports as a partner of the [[French Football Federation]]. The advertising campaign for the Passion Bleus involved French footballers, [[rallying]] champion [[Sébastien Loeb]], and an online [[Facebook]] game "Le Pilote et le Bleu" (The Pilot and Blue). Other Citroën vehicles to receive a Passion Bleus trim were the: C1, C3, C4, C4 Picasso, and the Berlingo Multispace.<ref>{{cite web|title=Passion Bleus released in France|url=http://www.citroen.fr/actualites/passion-bleus/|work=Creator|publisher=CITROËN|access-date=6 December 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121116095546/http://www.citroen.fr/actualites/passion-bleus|archive-date=16 November 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> |

When equipped with the 1.6-litre VTi engine, the C3 Picasso Exclusive and VTR+ models are capable of a top speed of {{cvt|117|mi/h|km/h|disp=flip}} in 10.6 seconds and {{cvt|120|bhp|kW PS|0|disp=flip|lk=on}}. This 1.6-litre and a smaller 1.4-litre VTi petrol engine, were developed by PSA Peugeot Citroën and [[BMW]], along with a 1.6 L diesel engine and the two 1.6 L HDi ''Airdream'' engines. Every model came with a 5-speed manual gearbox until 2011, when 6-speed manual and automatic (EGS6) manual versions were introduced,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/facts-and-figures/citroen/c3-picasso/estate-2009/53872/ |title=Citroën C3 Picasso (09 on) 1.6 VTi 16v Exclusive 5d EGS6 |publisher=Parkers |date=1 November 2011 |access-date=31 March 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/facts-and-figures/citroen/c3-picasso/estate-2009/42475/ | title=Citroën C3 Picasso (09 on) 1.4 VTi 16v Exclusive|publisher=Parkers |date=1 November 2011 |access-date=31 March 2012}}</ref> along with an eco-friendly [[start-stop system]] and [[regenerative braking]] technology in certain models, notably the Exclusive and Tendance models for the German market.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/facts-and-figures/citroen/c3-picasso/estate-2009/ |title=Citroën C3 Picasso Parkers model lineup |publisher=Parkers |access-date=31 March 2012}}</ref><ref name="On and off the road figures for the UK">{{cite web|author=Smith, Olly|url=http://howmanyleft.co.uk/?q=c3+picasso|title=On and off the road figures in the UK |publisher=How Many Left with information from the DVLA |access-date=9 May 2012}}</ref> According to Citroën, these two new features reduce {{CO2}} emissions significantly<ref>{{cite web|title=Prices, Technical data and Equipment PDF|url=http://www.citroen.de/Resources/Content/DE/10_pdf/07_preislisten/preisliste_c3_picasso.pdf|work=Technical data and engine info|publisher=Citroën|access-date=10 September 2012|language=de|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121030121449/http://www.citroen.de/Resources/Content/DE/10_pdf/07_preislisten/preisliste_c3_picasso.pdf|archive-date=30 October 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> and their introduction coincided with the release of a higher specification ''Airdream'' engine, the [[European emission standards|European emission standards (Euro 5)]] carbon dioxide emissions limits were lowered and the addition of [[low-rolling resistance tires|low-rolling resistance tyres]] were added to the entire range.

At first, Citroën decided not to offer their new automatic EGS6 gearbox version in the UK due to the unfavourable exchange rate and costs, although this changed after a small number were privately imported for insurance classification purposes.

Starting with June 2015 production, Citroën replaced the older petrol engines with a 1.2-litre Pure Tech 110 motor.

[[Euro NCAP|The European New Car Assessment Programme]] (Euro NCAP) tested a C3 Picasso Confort {{convert|90|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on|lk=on}} model with standard equipment, including: a single forward airbag for each front seat, a [[Speed limiter|speed limitation device]], but no ESC. The vehicle was scored on the basis of: child and adult injury, including [[Whiplash (medicine)|whiplash]] risk from the seating, a pedestrian front impact rating, safety equipment and clear labels detailing how to disable some features. The results of the front end tests were mixed, with the bumper scoring all available points, but the vehicle was penalised for the lack of protection and the potential damage caused if a pedestrian is struck by the bonnet. Protection inside the car was scored highly for almost every seat, and for adult and child protection; it lost points for its use of forward-facing restraints, which can be fatal in an accident if an infant is hit by an airbag. The C3 Picasso was also penalised for offering very poor whiplash protection in the driver's seat{{spaced ndash}}scoring nothing in two of the three tests and then losing points for the position of the unadjusted restraint. Overall, the vehicle scored four of five stars, less than most vehicles the Euro NCAP compares it with, which were released around the same time.<ref>{{cite web|title=Euro NCAP C3 Picasso safety comparison list of vehicles|url=http://www.euroncap.com/viewcomparable.aspx?car=87f48403-a58e-4323-ade8-ffbe82baa951|work=Car safety reviewer|publisher=Euro NCAP|access-date=14 September 2012}}</ref> |

On 20 June 2010, 611 C3 Picassos built between January and March 2010 were recalled due to incorrectly routed fuel pipes, which were believed to have been in contact with the heat shield. This fault may have caused chafing and may lead to a fuel leak. The models were built between January and March 2010 and were sold in the UK.<ref name="The AA lists the UK recalls">{{cite web|title=The AA lists the UK recalls|url=http://www.theaa.com/allaboutcars/recalls/recalls.jsp?modelID=AJ&modelName=C3+Picasso&makeName=Citroen&makeId=A7|work=Motoring organization|publisher=The AA|access-date=13 August 2012}}</ref> On 24 August 2010, all 13,234 Picassos sold in the UK<ref name="On and off the road figures for the UK" /> were recalled because the windscreen trim could deteriorate, and could eventually detach, leading to a loose-fitting windscreen.<ref name="The AA lists the UK recalls" /><ref>{{cite web|title=Department for Transport windscreen trim recall|url=http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/repository/Bulletin%2072.pdf|publisher=Department for Transport|access-date=13 August 2012}}</ref> |

|||
[[Euro NCAP]] (The European New Car Assessment Programme) tested the basic vehicle with standard equipment, including 2 airbags, a [[Speed limiter|speed limitation device]], but no ESC ([[Electronic stability control]]) and scored it on the 4 bases of child, adult, pedestrian and safety equipment. |
|||
The problem occurred because of the way the vehicles were modified for right-hand-drive. The investigation showed that although the brake pedal had been moved to the right, it was still connected to a mechanism on the passenger side. This was covered by felt carpet and meant that both the front passenger and driver could activate the brakes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13447395 |title=BBC News – Citroën C3 Picasso UK recall over 'passenger brake' |publisher=Bbc.co.uk |date=19 May 2011 |access-date=19 April 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.banwells.co.uk/news/bbc-watchdog-citroen-c3-picasso-recall-further-information/ |title=C3 Picasso recall announcement by Banwells Automotive |publisher=Banwells Automotive |date=19 May 2011 |access-date=19 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110817014627/http://www.banwells.co.uk/news/bbc-watchdog-citroen-c3-picasso-recall-further-information/ |archive-date=17 August 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> A further investigation by ''Watchdog'' later found the same problem in other Citroën models and some vehicles produced by Renault and Peugeot, some of which were registered in 2002.

|||
The front end was mixed, with the bumper scoring the maximum points but was let down by the lack of protection the bonnet gives when in contact with a pedestrian. |
|||
Protection inside the car was scored highly for every seat and for adults and children, mainly losing points for just the use of forward facing restraints instead of rearward facing and penalised for offering very poor whiplash protection with the driver's seat scoring nothing in 2 of the 3 tests and then losing points for the positioning of the unadjusted restraint. |
|||
8,815 Picassos built between January and May 2011 for the UK market were recalled on 2 September 2011 when it was discovered that the battery cable was too short and could cause gearbox failures and in turn stall the engine. The faulty earth return cable was replaced.<ref>{{cite web|title=GOV.UK: Check vehicle recalls|url=https://www.check-vehicle-recalls.service.gov.uk/recall-type/vehicle/make/CITROEN/model/C3%20PICASSO/year/2010/recalls|work=Motoring organization|publisher=Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency|access-date=1 March 2020}}</ref> Despite the recalls, the vehicle continued to sell well in the UK and has won numerous awards.<ref name="On and off the road figures for the UK" /> |

Many reviewers criticised the interior, which they said felt "cheap". The quality and reliability of the petrol engines was also criticised by most reviewers as "sluggish" and struggling to carry the weight of the vehicle, although the diesel engines feedback was more positive as they are able to cope much better and run smoother. Reviewers' comments about the tight turning radius of the vehicle were favourable. The combination of the panoramic three-part windscreen, thin door pillars and high seats, which together increase the visibility of the road{{spaced ndash}}led one reviewer to compare it with a greenhouse.<ref name="French Review and price" /><ref>{{cite web|last=McAlpine|first=Craig|title=C3 Picasso review: like a greenhouse|url=http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/archive/citroen-c3-picasso-16-vti-review|work=A car review site|publisher=Carbuyer.co.uk|access-date=8 August 2012}}</ref> |

The car has three monitors on the dashboard, the first monitors the status of important components, while the second controls the sound system, and the last is a rev counter, digital speedometer and the fuel gauge. ''[[CNET]]'' described the speed gauge monitor as clear and "close to the driver's natural line of sight", but criticized the other two monitors for being unreadable and possibly dangerous if used by the driver while the car is moving.<ref>{{cite web|last=Hide|first=Nick|title=Cnet reviews the C3 Picasso|url=http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/cars/citroen-c3-picasso-review-49301805/|work=News and review site|publisher=Cnet|access-date=23 August 2012}}</ref> Some reviewers complained about the vehicle's soundproofing, which could not adequately conceal the screech of the wind.

Another advertisement for the vehicle range was "Ghostbusters Reloaded", which was produced by [[Euro RSCG Paris]].

It has a five-door mini MPV design and was first unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show as a concept car named "Drooneel".[9] The Picasso is the mini MPV version of the Citroën C3 and the successor of the Citroën Xsara Picasso, and was designed to compete with the Opel Meriva, Nissan Note,[10] Renault Modus and Ford Fusion.[11]
The C3 Picasso was assembled in December 2007 at the PSA Trnava Plant in Slovakia, which Citroën announced from France in July 2008 would be the sole manufacturer of the model. Citroën presented the finished product to the Slovak press and public on 25 September before it was unveiled to the world in October at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The Trnava Plant by then was expected to be building 28 cars per hour as the C3 Picasso went on sale in France in February 2009 for €14,950. The company began to sell the car in other European markets in March 2009.[12][13]
A SUV-styled derivative named Citroën C3 Aircross (then Citroën Aircross) was manufactured in Brazil and sold in Latin America from 2010 to 2020.[14] This model gave birth to a more urban-styled vehicle called C3 Picasso (manufactured in Brazil from 2011 to 2015), which was closer to the Brazilian C3 Aircross than to the global C3 Picasso.[15] Both C3 Aircross and the Brazilian C3 Picasso were based on the Brazilian first generation Citroën C3, when the global C3 Picasso was based on the global Peugeot 207 SW.[16]
When launched in Spain in 2009, only three trims were available: LX, SX, or Exclusive. The LX was the most basic and least expensive model, with a 71 kW; 96 PS (95 bhp) VTi engine, priced at €12,590, while the Exclusive model was most expensive with a 82 kW; 110 PS (110 bhp) HDi Airdream engine at €18,650.[17] The C3 Picasso was launched in the United Kingdom on 9 April 2009, where it went on sale for £11,495 for the 1.4-litre VTi, the most basic model with 6.4 L/100 km; 37 mpg‑US (44 mpg‑imp),[18] while the most expensive was the 'Exclusive' with a 1.6-litre HDi engine and 4.6 L/100 km; 52 mpg‑US (62 mpg‑imp) at £15,595.[19][20]
A facelifted version of the car was shown at the 2012 Paris Motor Show on 27 September 2012 and was on sale in Europe by November.[21]
Models
- Exclusive is consistently the most expensive trim for each market, with the biggest choice of engines and features. It is the only model to feature roof rails and a folding front passenger seat, making the storage space into the whole interior of the car except the driver's seat. Extras for the trim include: tinted windows, rear parking sensors, automatic windscreen wipers, a leather and chrome interior, pollen filter, and dual-zone automatic climate control, which allows for two varying temperature settings simultaneously in the vehicle.[22]
Limited and Special Edition
- 90th Anniversary; the release of the Limited Edition 90th Anniversary C3 Picasso in August 2009 was the UK's third limited edition model. It was created to commemorate 90 years of Citroën and has similar features to the Exclusive trim, sold at the same price and features the MyWay SatNav system, leather upholstery, and a commemorative badge on the dashboard emblazoned with the wording "90 Years". As bonus, it came equipped with £1,000 of extras and was released in an advertising campaign of Anniversary trims for other Citroën models at the same time as the launch of the Limited Edition Millennium trim in France.[23][24] The model was limited to 150 cars in the UK, of which only one has been sold and registered for use.[25]
- Blackcherry is a limited edition trim, available in the UK since November 2010 and based on the VTR+. It was sold with the 1.6-litre High-pressure Direct Injection (HDi) diesel engine.[26] It was discontinued and replaced with the Code Red and Code White in January 2012, which have the same engine.[27]
- Rossignol; first collection launched in November 2010, second in November 2011.[28][29]
- Millennium; several trims were released in France under the Millennium moniker, including the: C1, C4, C4 Picasso, C5 and C5 Tourer. The model has 16-inch (41 cm) alloy wheels, the MyWay SatNav system and radio with built-in Bluetooth and dual-zone automatic climate control. The car was available in a metallic or pearlescent finish.[30]
- Code Red/Code White was released in January 2012. The limited edition C3 Picasso Code Red and Code White replaced the Blackcherry in the UK.[26] The Code has the same engine as the Blackcherry and has been finely tuned for a marginally increased fuel economy and lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. It features obsidian black bumpers and 17-inch (43 cm) Polar White or Cherry Red "clover" alloy wheels, and can be equipped with extra features, which include roof bars, curtain airbags, cruise control and a speed limiter. Body colours exclusive to the trim are Belle Ile Blue, Shark Grey and Cherry Red.[27][31]
- Passion Bleus was released in France to celebrate the 2012 European Football Championship. The name is a tribute to the France national football team, which Citroën supports as a partner of the French Football Federation. The advertising campaign for the Passion Bleus involved French footballers, rallying champion Sébastien Loeb, and an online Facebook game "Le Pilote et le Bleu" (The Pilot and Blue). Other Citroën vehicles to receive a Passion Bleus trim were the: C1, C3, C4, C4 Picasso, and the Berlingo Multispace.[32]
- Music Touch was launched in January 2013 in France. Created through a partnership with Samsung and Universal Music Group, the C3 Picasso Music Touch comes with a free white Samsung Galaxy Tab 16 GB. The obvious styling differences are the additional chrome trims and mirror covers, and white pearlescent paint. The Music Touch special series was also added to the C4 Picasso, C4 Aircross and Berlingo Multispace vehicles.[33]
Design and features
All C3 Picasso models have an anti-lock braking system (ABS), Electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), child locks, remote central locking and two front airbags.[34] Electronic Stability Control (ESC), once an option, is now included across the range.[35] The vehicle is only available as a 5-seater, but with all models the three rear seats can be folded flat to increase the boot capacity from 385 litres (13.6 cu ft) or 500 litres (18 cu ft) including the hidden compartment to store the parcel shelf, up to a maximum of 1,506 litres (53.2 cu ft).[36][37] The Exclusive model features a folding front passenger seat to increase the storage space further.[22][34] All models in the range have a "Mistral Maxi Taylor" woven cloth interior; according to Citroën, top European engineers and designers including Donato Coco and Jean-Pierre Ploué were involved in designing the vehicle.[38][39]
Optional accessories are available for the range, including an aluminium roof rack capable of carrying 60 kg (132 lb) and kerbside lights in the door mirrors. Also available are: 16-inch (41 cm) and 17-inch (43 cm) alloy wheels with a choice of two patterns, chrome mouldings for the bumpers and doors, front fog lamps and cruise control, rear parking sensors, automatic lights (standard on some variants), and a speed limitation device – which are commonly used for safety reasons or to reduce fuel bills.[40] A seatbelt reminder, which can be added to the passenger and rear seats, is fitted to the driver's seat as standard.[41][42]
The chassis platform used for the C3 Picasso is a modified version of that in the Citroën C3 and the Peugeot 207, giving it a comparable wheelbase.[43] The reuse of automobile platforms is commonplace, especially for Citroën because the Trnava plant builds the Peugeot 207 and the C3 Picasso. The parent company PSA Peugeot Citroën pools resources and manufacturing for some vehicles, and sometimes rebadges vehicles, combining design teams between two or more brands to create a shared product.[44] Citroën placed a contractual obligation on the manufacturers to use green materials for the C3 Picasso range. These comprise ≥11% of the 170 kg (374.8 lb) of polymers on the vehicle, including the mudguards, parcel shelf and boot carpet.[44] Citroën recommends the vehicle is serviced at least every two years, or at every 32,000 km (20,000 mi) for petrol models and 20,000 km (12,000 mi) for the HDi diesel models.[45]
Engines
When equipped with the 1.6-litre VTi engine, the C3 Picasso Exclusive and VTR+ models are capable of a top speed of 188 km/h (117 mph) in 10.6 seconds and 89 kW; 122 PS (120 bhp). This 1.6-litre and a smaller 1.4-litre VTi petrol engine, were developed by PSA Peugeot Citroën and BMW, along with a 1.6 L diesel engine and the two 1.6 L HDi Airdream engines. Every model came with a 5-speed manual gearbox until 2011, when 6-speed manual and automatic (EGS6) manual versions were introduced,[46][47] along with an eco-friendly start-stop system and regenerative braking technology in certain models, notably the Exclusive and Tendance models for the German market.[48][49] According to Citroën, these two new features reduce CO2 emissions significantly[50] and their introduction coincided with the release of a higher specification Airdream engine, the European emission standards (Euro 5) carbon dioxide emissions limits were lowered and the addition of low-rolling resistance tyres were added to the entire range. The tyres are specially designed to minimize wasted energy when the tyre rolls and have been estimated by the California Energy Commission to save 1.5–4.5% of fuel in a typical car.[51][52]
At first, Citroën decided not to offer their new automatic EGS6 gearbox version in the UK due to the unfavourable exchange rate and costs, although this changed after a small number were privately imported for insurance classification purposes. The EGS6 gearbox became an option for the 1.6 L VTi engine models shortly after.[53]
Starting with June 2015 production, Citroën replaced the older petrol engines with a 1.2-litre Pure Tech 110 motor. This new 3 cylinder 82 kW (110 hp) engine is paired with 5 speed manual transmission. CO2 emissions are 115 g/km. A 73 kW (98 hp) BlueHDi 100 diesel coupled to a 5 speed manual transmission replaced the earlier offerings. The EGS6 automatic transmission is no longer available.[35][54][55]

The European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) tested a C3 Picasso Confort 90 bhp (67 kW; 91 PS) model with standard equipment, including: a single forward airbag for each front seat, a speed limitation device, but no ESC. The vehicle was scored on the basis of: child and adult injury, including whiplash risk from the seating, a pedestrian front impact rating, safety equipment and clear labels detailing how to disable some features. The results of the front end tests were mixed, with the bumper scoring all available points, but the vehicle was penalised for the lack of protection and the potential damage caused if a pedestrian is struck by the bonnet. Protection inside the car was scored highly for almost every seat, and for adult and child protection; it lost points for its use of forward-facing restraints, which can be fatal in an accident if an infant is hit by an airbag. The C3 Picasso was also penalised for offering very poor whiplash protection in the driver's seat – scoring nothing in two of the three tests and then losing points for the position of the unadjusted restraint. Overall, the vehicle scored four of five stars, less than most vehicles the Euro NCAP compares it with, which were released around the same time.[118]
Recalls and Watchdog investigation
On 20 June 2010, 611 C3 Picassos built between January and March 2010 were recalled due to incorrectly routed fuel pipes, which were believed to have been in contact with the heat shield. This fault may have caused chafing and may lead to a fuel leak. The models were built between January and March 2010 and were sold in the UK.[119] On 24 August 2010, all 13,234 Picassos sold in the UK[49] were recalled because the windscreen trim could deteriorate, and could eventually detach, leading to a loose-fitting windscreen.[119][120]
In May 2011, all 24,091 C3 Picassos in the UK were recalled for a safety modification,[121] following complaints and an investigation by BBC consumer affairs programme Watchdog into brakes that could be activated on the passenger side of the right-hand drive vehicles.[122][123] The problem occurred because of the way the vehicles were modified for right-hand-drive. The investigation showed that although the brake pedal had been moved to the right, it was still connected to a mechanism on the passenger side. This was covered by felt carpet and meant that both the front passenger and driver could activate the brakes.[124][125] A further investigation by Watchdog later found the same problem in other Citroën models and some vehicles produced by Renault and Peugeot, some of which were registered in 2002. All three manufacturers worked with the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) to identify the severity of the problem but no vehicles were found to be affected enough to issue recalls.[126]
8,815 Picassos built between January and May 2011 for the UK market were recalled on 2 September 2011 when it was discovered that the battery cable was too short and could cause gearbox failures and in turn stall the engine. The faulty earth return cable was replaced.[127] Despite the recalls, the vehicle continued to sell well in the UK and has won numerous awards.[49]
Reviews
Critics praised the Citroën C3 Picasso in reviews for its ergonomics, Bauhaus-inspired styling,[128] ease of use and the amount of space offered. Many reviewers criticised the interior, which they said felt "cheap". The quality and reliability of the petrol engines was also criticised by most reviewers as "sluggish" and struggling to carry the weight of the vehicle, although the diesel engines feedback was more positive as they are able to cope much better and run smoother. Reviewers' comments about the tight turning radius of the vehicle were favourable. The combination of the panoramic three-part windscreen, thin door pillars and high seats, which together increase the visibility of the road – led one reviewer to compare it with a greenhouse.[12][129]
The car has three monitors on the dashboard, the first monitors the status of important components, while the second controls the sound system, and the last is a rev counter, digital speedometer and the fuel gauge. CNET described the speed gauge monitor as clear and "close to the driver's natural line of sight", but criticized the other two monitors for being unreadable and possibly dangerous if used by the driver while the car is moving.[130] Some reviewers complained about the vehicle's soundproofing, which could not adequately conceal the screech of the wind. The engine at high speed received mixed reviews, while a number of reviewers reported a fault with the screenwash bottle, which can freeze in cold weather and blow a fuse when used.[131] The reviewer for European Car of the Year 2010 called the nominated C3 Picasso fuel efficient, but said it had "dull steering".[132]
Awards
UK publication Top Gear Magazine awarded the C3 Picasso "Family Car of the Year" in 2008, stating "This is what a 21st century family car should look like". Michael Harvey, the Editorial Director of the magazine admitted they had taken a chance as the model was not available in the United Kingdom until the following year.[133] In 2009 when the car was finally launched the awards increased, first with "Best MPV" at What Diesel's Car of the Year Awards,[134] "Scottish MPV of the Year" at the Scottish Car of the Year Awards,[135] "Best Supermini MPV of the year" at "Auto Express New Car Awards"[136] and finally "Design of the Year" at the Fleet World Honours.[137] The vehicle was nominated for European Car of the Year in 2010, but received the lowest overall score of any candidate, finishing last, in seventh place.[138] The JD Power survey in 2011 announced the C3 Picasso as the best MPV on the market, with a satisfaction rating of 83.1% and five stars overall, but with the lowest rating given to the exterior quality at three stars. Many reviewers had complained of poor fitting and the finish used on the exterior.[139]
Advertising
"DOG" was created by H Suresnes advertising agency in France and released in June 2010. The advertisement shows a dog made up of various items, including a purse, swimming goggles, blow-dryer and shoes, wandering around the streets to the English-language song "Somebody Come And Play" by Joseph G Raposo.[140] In the last scene the dog is invited into the boot of a C3 Picasso by a family leaving for a holiday; the dog fits into the car with enough space to seat everyone comfortably.[141]
Another advertisement for the vehicle range was "Ghostbusters Reloaded", which was produced by Euro RSCG Paris. It shows three futuristic Ghostbusters in a C3 Picasso battling a monster in the style of the Ghostbusters character Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. The monster is the size of a tall building and is made up of items including bicycles, suitcases and tyres. As the monster is defeated, it disassembles and the items fit into the boot of the Picasso. The music used is a remix of the Ray Parker Ghostbusters theme tune performed by the Street Life DJs. The advertisement's strapline is; "The New Citroën C3 Picasso: The Spacebox".[142][143]
2012 facelift
The facelift of the Citroën C3 Picasso appeared first at the 2012 Paris Motor Show on 27 September.[144] The new eMyWay SatNav system, located on the central console, is more functional than the previous model, allowing connection to a reversing camera (available as an extra), which displays on the console screen. LED daytime running lamps and fog lamps with built-in cornering lamps, which illuminate the roadside, are also non-standard features on the facelifted C3 Picasso.[145] In addition, Citroën has added two new exterior paint colour options; "Pearlescent white" and "Ink blue" to the vehicle. The front grille now features Citroën's new branding, joining the two chrome chevron badge in the form of a crown.[146]
The Spanish market launch took place in November 2012 with four trim choices, the least expensive being the Attraction with a 95 bhp (71 kW; 96 PS) VTi engine at €12,250 and the most expensive being the Exclusive with a 115 bhp (86 kW; 117 PS) HDi engine at €18,475.[21][147] The UK launch took place in December 2012.[148]
2017 successor
In September 2010, Citroën do Brasil launched the Citroën C3 Aircross in Brazil and Argentina. The car is a C3 Picasso-based mini SUV with styling differences including: raised suspension, chrome roof bars and mirror covers, side skirts, and a rear spare tyre.
A successor for the C3 Picasso was previewed at the Geneva Motor Show in March as the C-Aircross Concept.[149] The Citroën C3 Aircross, as it became called, launched in late 2017, introducing with it the new Citroën SUV designation.[150] Auto Express reported the vehicle is taking design cues from the C-Aircross Concept, and will make the transition from MPV to an SUV design.[8]
Worldwide sales and production figures
Year | Production | Sales | Notes |
