CITROËN C4 PICASSO & GRAND C4 PICASSO: NEW
STYLING & EVEN MORE ‘CRÉATIVE TECHNOLOGIE’
Having
already achieved undisputed success since their
respective launches in
2006 and 2007* - with nearly 650,000 vehicles sold
globally and 63,000
sales to British customers - Citroën UK has announced
that C4 Picasso
and Grand C4 Picasso will feature new styling, enhanced
levels of
equipment and engine upgrades from October 2010.
Both C4 Picasso
ranges will also feature models specified with Citroën’s
new e-HDi
micro-hybrid technology, which improves fuel efficiency
and lowers CO2
emissions. This will be the very first time that e-HDi
equipped models
will be available in the UK.
The new C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso will be unveiled
at the Paris Motor Show later this month.
NEW ELEGANT EXTERIOR DESIGN
With
a fresh, new and even more elegant exterior design - as
well as
exceptionally bright and airy cabins, thanks to the
stunning wide-angle
panoramic windscreen - the award-winning range of
compact MPVs boasts
new styling elements including Citroën’s new chevron
design on the
front grille and tailgate; a new front bumper; new
headlights and rear
light clusters; and - on VTR+ and Exclusive models - a
distinctive
front LED light signature.
The best-selling VTR+ models also now
feature stylish chrome side window sills and a chrome
rear bumper
strip, making them as stylish as they are versatile.
The C4 Picasso Exclusive’s prestigious appearance can be
enhanced even
further thanks to a new and unique ‘Black Top’ option.
Available in
conjunction with 6 body colours, this option means the
roof and
A-pillars are painted with a luxuriously glossy Onyx
black. The
exterior door handles, door mirrors and alloy wheel
centre caps also
receive a glossy black finish to put the final touches
to what is a
very premium look.
EVEN MORE EQUIPMENT AS STANDARD
The new Citroën C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso will
delight drivers
and families alike thanks to the perfect blend of
convenience and
safety, with new enhanced levels of standard equipment.
All VTR+ models
are upgraded to feature rear parking sensors,
electrically folding
mirrors, a USB socket and Bluetooth®. Similarly, all
Exclusive models
now benefit from stylish 17” alloy wheel; new
upholstery; USB and
Bluetooth® connectivity; and the new Citroën eTouch
Emergency &
Assistance System.
Citroën eTouch automatically or manually makes emergency
or assistance
calls, using a built-in SIM card, for a rapid response
in the event of
an accident or if the car is immobilised. Citroën’s
eTouch system also
allows drivers to consult information online at their
‘MyCITROËN’
personal space, which allows them monitor to their
vehicle’s
maintenance requirements and to receive advice on
improving their fuel
economy. These services are free and available 24-7.
e-HDi MICRO-HYBRID TECHNOLOGY: FOR REDUCED CO2
EMISSIONS & FUEL CONSUMPTION
Citroën’s new e-HDi micro-hybrid technology combines a
second-generation Stop & Start system; a reversible
alternator that
recovers energy during braking; an e-booster function
that re-starts
the engine instantly (0.4 seconds); and a refined Euro 5
HDi 110hp DPFS
engine with a 6-speed EGS transmission.
This advanced powertrain delivers combined cycle economy
of up to
58.9mpg for C4 Picasso and 57.6mpg for Grand C4 Picasso,
with CO2
emissions of between 125g/km and 132g/km. In built-up,
urban
environments, this innovative technology can lower fuel
consumption and
CO2 emissions by as much as 15%.
Both ranges also now feature a new 2.0HDi 150hp diesel
engine with a
6-speed manual gearbox, which delivers driving pleasure
and combined
cycle fuel economy of 49.6mpg. A refined 2.0HDi 160hp
with a 6-speed
automatic gearbox is also newly available on Exclusive
models.
UK AVAILABILITY & PRICING
The new Citroën C4 Picasso & Grand C4 Picasso will
be available in
the UK from 1st October, with Euro 5 compliant engines
across both
ranges.
