The C4 Picasso

Quick and easy reconfiguration

The C4 Picasso's modular design allows the interior layout to be reconfigured quickly and easily, while keeping all the seats inside the vehicle. The vehicle meets a full range of passenger requirements with up to seven seats that can be arranged in many and varied configurations.

• The second row of seats can be folded away in a single movement without removing the headrests, simply by pulling the strap on the side of the backrest.

• The third row of seats can also be folded away easily without removing the headrests, by pulling the strap at the bottom of the backrest.

• With the seats folded away, the continuous, flat loading space stretches from the boot to the back of the front seats.

• In the third row, the original seat design provides easy access. The cushions of the second-row side seats are automatically lifted towards the seat back, much like a cinema seat, when the driver presses a control at the top of the seat back. The seats then slide up against the front seat-backs in a single movement, freeing up maximum space to access the third row.

Generously sized boot of clever design

The remarkable roominess of the C4 Picasso does not detract from the size of the boot. The amount of boot space depends on the interior layout.

Largest boot volumes in the segment

• In the most common configuration, a 5-seat layout with row-three seats folded away and row-two seats pushed right back, the volume beneath the luggage cover is the largest in its category at 576 litres VDA. When all the seats are folded away, the maximum capacity is 1,951 litres VDA.

• The C4 Picasso also boasts the widest distance between wheel arches in its category, at 1.17 m. This width remains the same along the entire length of the boot, thus making it easier to transport wide, rectangular objects.

• The load length of 1.03 m can reach 2.06 m if the front passenger seat is pushed forward to the maximum extent.

• The 52 cm space under the luggage cover is also the best in the category, allowing the occupants to hide relatively large objects from prying eyes.

 Easy and convenient use

With its ingenious layout, the boot is easy and convenient to use.

Thanks to the opening rear window available on the C4 Picasso, the boot can be comfortably loaded right up to the roof and can be easily accessed even when the vehicle is parked in a tight space.

• A load restraint net lets the driver maximise the load volume, without compromising passenger safety. It can be installed behind the first or second row of seats, over the entire height of the vehicle, between the folded seats and the roof.

In the seven-seater layout, boot storage space is increased by a number of clever features, including deep, closed compartments with a capacity of 80 litres positioned under the third-row seats. Boot height can be increased by raising the floor sections that close these compartments. These sections then serve as luggage restraints.

• A stowage net can be arranged in a wide range of configurations (flat on the floor, under the luggage cover, etc.) using the eight hooks provided in the boot.

• In a seven-seater layout, the luggage-cover roller can be stored vertically behind the third row of seats. Also, the blind can be deployed vertically, to isolate the boot from the cabin and prevent people looking in.

Useful and convenient stowage compartments

Alongside the conventional stowage space provided in the door inner panels, the cabin features an array of cleverly designed stowage compartments.

The innovative driving position associated with the 6-speed electronic gearbox system and automatic transmission, creates space for four large-capacity compartments on the dashboard. The lower central part of the dashboard features a cooled compartment to keep products at a low temperature, including when the air conditioning blows hot air into the cabin. This generously sized compartment (5.4 l) can store, for example, one 1.5 l bottle and two 0.5 l bottles. The lid of this compartment includes two can-holders and a small tray.

The backrests of the first row of seats are fitted with new aircraft-style trays that can be put to use by passengers at the rear for various objects (a computer, drinks, toys, etc.) . The trays are styled to suit the shape of the seatback, without sacrificing knee room for second-row passengers. They fold downwards into a hollow space provided at knee level.

A stowage net is also provided on the back of each front seat.

Additional stowage compartments are also available (depending on the trim level and equipment): a low console between the front seats, and stowage compartments under the front seats, under the floor in row 2, behind row 2 and row 3, under the armrest in row 3, in the sides of the boot pillars, etc.
