First details of Grand C4 Picasso launched
The New Grand C4 Picasso harnesses all the efficiency of the new EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform 2) to provide an ideal combination of versatility, cabin space and accessibility, underpinned with three rows of seats. In addition to boasting record low emissions, starting at just 98g/km, the next-generation Grand C4 Picasso features Citroën’s all-new BlueHDi 150 engine that emits a low 110g/km.
4,590mm long x 1,826mm wide (2,117mm with mirrors) x 1,625mm high on 2,840mm wheelbase.
Although the latest model is the same length as its predecessor (4.59m), the EMP2 platform has allowed Citroën’s engineers to extend the wheelbase to 2.84m (the longest in the category) to provide versatile modularity, with a third row of folding seats for transporting up to seven people. Class-leading cabin space in rows two & three. Enhanced access, especially to row three through optimised door apertures and an extra 69-litres of useable load space (645-litres VDA) & over 700-litres with row two seats in their forward position.
A true expression of Citroën’s ‘Créative Technologie’, the seven-seat ‘Technospace’ is available powered by a new BlueHDi 150 engine, which complies with the Euro 6 standard as a result of its innovative Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system - the only technology able to sharply reduce NOx emissions (by 90%), whilst also cutting emissions. Fitted with the latest-generation 6-speed gearbox to optimise performance and fuel consumption, the BlueHDi 150 unit emits just 110g/km of CO2emissions (manual) and 117g/kmfor the automatic version.

Citroen Grand C4 Picasso goes on sale in UK
The New Grand C4 Picasso features ground-breaking proportions, providing an ideal combination of versatility, cabin space and accessibility, underpinned with three rows of seats for up to seven occupants. Although the latest model is virtually the same length as its predecessor (4.59m), the EMP2 platform has allowed Citroen’s engineers to extend the wheelbase to 2.84m (the longest in the category) to provide class-leading cabin space in rows two & three and enhanced access, especially to row three through optimised rear door apertures.
Weighing up to 110kg less than its forerunner and with CO2reduced by 30g/km on average, the New Grand C4 Picasso’s enhanced aerodynamics and optimised engine range deliveremissions from just 98g/km with a class-leading combined cycle fuel economy of up to 74.3mpg (e-HDi 90 Airdream ETG6).
All row two seats feature fore/aft sliding adjustment, ‘cinema mode’ (seat base in upright position) and load cover panels on the seat backs. Access to the rear-most seats is made effortless by an innovative, one-handed operation, tilt and slide mechanism on both outer row two seats.
With the individual flat-folding row three seats stowed away and with concertina covers in place, the cavernous boot can swallow 632-litres (VDA) of luggage – or up to 793-litres with row two seats in their forward-most position. Folding both rows of rear seats flat provides an impressive 2,181-litres of useable stowage.
New Grand C4 Picasso’s clean and uncluttered dashboard features two fully digital displays – a 7-inch touchpad and a 12-inch panoramic HD screen – creating an intuitive and stylish driving interface.
The standard specification 7-inch touchpad, with seven touch-sensitive buttons around the outside, puts all the in-car functions such as dual-zone air conditioning, navigation, audio, telephone and driving aids, within easy reach.
The 12-inch panoramic HD screen can be configured to display essential driving information and can show data for either the navigation system or other driving aids, such as the active cruise control. There is even the option of changing the screen’s backdrop with a personal photograph using a USB key.
The New Grand C4 Picasso is able to deliver sub-100g/km CO2emissions. The new model’s performance is further refined with the new 6-speed clutchless manual gearbox – ETG6 (6-speed Efficient Tronic Gearbox) – available with e-HDi 90 and e-HDi 115 versions. With the ETG6 ‘box, drivers can switch from manual to automatic mode at any time, depending on their requirements and the driving environment.
The e-HDi 90 Airdream engine, with the ETG6, emits just 98 g/km with a combined fuel consumption of 74.3mpg – a record in the class. At the heart of the range, the e-HDi 115 ETG6 can emit just 104g/km of CO2emissions (105g/km for the manual version) with a combined fuel economy of 70.6mpg.
The New Grand C4 Picasso model is also available with the new Euro 6 compliant BlueHDi engine fitted with Citroën’s innovative Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system – the only technology able to sharply reduce NOx emissions (by 90%), whilst also cuttingemissions. The BlueHDi 150 manual unit in Exclusive trim emits just 110g/km (manual) and 117g/km for the automatic version.
