Launched in 2013, the second-generation models have been updated for 2016 with a new front end shared by both models for the first time, as well as 3D-effect rear lights as standard and new 17-inch alloy wheels. Other changes see a black two-tone roof available on the C4 Picasso five-seat and a new silver-coloured roof bar option for Grand C4 Picasso, as well as three new body colours.

The interior brings a new 3D Citroën Connect Nav system, which is combined with an updated 7-inch touchscreen, while other new technologies include an optional hands-free tailgate and safety features such as Speed Limit Sign Recognition and Recommendation, Adaptive Cruise Control with a Stop Function, the Lane Departure Warning System, the Active Safety Brake, Driver Attention Alert, and the Active Blind Spot Monitoring System.

Under the bonnet, the line-up brings a new powertrain option: the PureTech 130 S&S with the EAT6 automatic gearbox for both models. This brings official combined cycle fuel consumption for both the five and seven-seat models of 5.1l/100lm and CO2 emissions of 115g/km.

“For us, new Citroën C4 Picasso is a showcase of our finest know-how. In addition to its unique, modern and dynamic styling, it offers an incomparable level of comfort. With its architecture and the EMP2 platform, it brings motorists spaciousness, modularity and on-road qualities that enhance the well-being of all passengers. Today we are equipping it with a set of new useful technologies that simplify everyday life and improve safety. New C4 Picasso has everything it takes to be a leader in the European market,” said Linda Jackson, CEO of Citroën.
