Citroën is once again shaking up conventional automotive ideas with the new Citroën C3 Picasso. Muscat's Motors introduced an innovative car at a launch party held at Fuego in St Julian's recently. The C3 Picasso was at the heart of the party during the Brazilian themed evening held in collaboration with XFM and Kenzo.

The C3 Picasso bears all the hallmark creativity of Citroën and stands out with its bold styling, innovative architecture and outstanding ingenuity. The newcomer's nimble road holding will satisfy drivers looking for pleasure and involvement at the wheel.

The C3 Picasso's particularly innovative architecture makes it small outside and cavernous inside. Measuring 4.08m long, 1.73m wide and 1.62m high, it has a surprisingly compact front end and a strictly vertical rear end. These original proportions provide an incredible amount of cabin room. The boot is equally capacious, boasting up to 500 litres VDA under the parcel shelf with all five seats in place.

The C3 Picasso revolutionises user-friendliness with its intuitive modular design that allows owners to optimise interior space in record time.

The driving position offers unrivalled wide-angle vision thanks to the innovative, three-part windscreen with slim pillars and the high seating position that gives drivers a commanding view of the road. Wrapped in a striking glass envelope, the cabin is flooded with light.

The car's compact dimensions and tight turning circle make it impressively agile and able to dodge obstacles with ease. The C3 Picasso has a vehicle attitude worthy of a saloon, bringing drivers complete peace of mind in all driving conditions. The C3 Picasso will also be fitted with a range of high-performance, economical engines. It will ship with two new-generation petrol units - the VTi 95 and VTi 120 - and two diesels, the HDi 90 and HDi 110 DPFS, renowned for their driving pleasure and efficiency.

The price for the new C3 Picasso starts from e18,399 for the 1.4 petrol model and is now available for viewing and test drives at Muscats Motors Ltd.
