Citroen Xsara Picasso: For budget-minded thinkers
' ■ T F ^ mini-MPV like a :;
•i: I Citroen C4 Picasso but lack : .X. the requisite £15,000 or so, you • might be expecting to have to opt - for a South Korean cheapie alter-: native, , ~ ^
Citroen Cl: Take more space for your monev
^ Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107 ■ stablemates that roll down the same production lines. . . ;,.. •; It's a clever design that max- ■
f
: imises space and offers the advantage of a five-door option over, the similarly-sized 0 2 . Sty lin g enhancements and' small improvements to fuel consumption and emissions - make the latest version partic ularly attractive. .. • ^ V As a Cl buyer, you get either.
an improved 68bhp l.Oi petrol unit or a 54bhp 1.4-litre HDi diesel. Pive-spe^ manual gear boxes are fitted as standard and there's a refreshing lack of gim-; micks and nonsense that can ' plague some small cars as man ufacturers look to differentiate their wares. . With this Citroen,: you just get a city car that's '
ITROEN'S Cl shares its design but not always i t s t ight pricing with ;
. small, manoeuvrable, easy to see out of and very simple to' operate.
The.Cl's exterior has been,
^ven a smart upgrade in recent- times, with changes to the car's front end, complementing the looks of the updated
C2.iThere are revised wheels and trims,' while inside ther^e is better quality upholstery and smarter materials. Unlike a number, of its rival tiny runabouts, the Cl offers a choice o f either three or five-door body styles. - .
,
. ; As we all know, list prices (in this case the typical £7,000 to £9,000 bracket common to this class) are only the starting point for negotiation but bear in mind that on a car this inex- ■ pensive, the dealer will have less to play with in terms of dis^ counts. Allow £500 more if you want five doors rather than three.
- ,
., iBefore you do, it's worth remem- . bering that the car the C4 Picasso, replaced, Citroen's Xsara Picasso :• mini-MPV is still on sale and you can probably get one in the region: of £12,000.
' ' - ,
should find a decent level of equips ment, despite the reduced pricing.
. .• Air conditioning, four, airbags, central locking, a CD Player and electric mirrors are all standard,
'.while there are also two option packs.' .;; An electric pack offers rear park? ing sensors, folding door mirrors
' ^That's with all the usual Citroen, offers in place of course but you ■' shouldn't have to haggle too hard v on that score.
.isThese days, there are just two v,
trim levels from which to ch o o se - - Desire and'VTX. ^ and three ft engines '. '.There's a petrol 1.6-litre IGV;), unit, plus'two l .6 - litr e diesels,’?; developing either 92 or llObhp.
'
-and electric rear windows, while an automatic pack upgrade provides automatic digital air conditioning as well as automatic wipers and headlamps.,
...-The XsaraTica’sso. st ill has something to offer budget-minded
-buyers in the growing ranks of small but spacious people carriers. As long as, like most families, your.
.• Whichever one you choose, you ft*
■tribe really don't need seven seats (or-even six); the Citroen is diffi cult to ignore, offering as it does so much in terms of original interior., thought.
Citroen C4 Picasso: The perfect package
:
^ T ^ H E S E days,:it's not' : l • good enough’jus t to launch one mini-MPV:
you have to launch two. Hence cars like Renault's Scenic and; Grand Scenic and the Citroen C4 Picasso, the five-seater sta-; blemate to the French maker's Grand C4 Picasso. Citroen offers plenty of;
ft.;138bhp 2.0-litre diesel units, U 4 Picasso drivers won't be
. wahting'for decent power , plants. The driving experience
MPV choice to a hungry mar-; ket: There's the van-based : Berlingo Multispace for budg-; et buyers, or the old Xsara § Picasso. Above the C4 Picasso, models, there's also the larger - C6. But do you really need- something that big? The- answer for most mini-MPV, buyers is probably not 'rr and for them, this five-seat .C4 ' Picasso, priced from £13,995, ; may be a perfect package. .. • • ■With a choice of a 127bhp
1.8-litre or 143bhp 2.0-litre petrol engines or llObhp 1.6 or
v; is geared towards comfort and ,. safety. • :,: r Although the C4 Picasso's • ■athletic s tan c e is the first thing to catch your eye, the : second -. i s , the wide-angle ' panoramic windscreen that
..rises up and over the front- : seat occupants, doubling ver- - deal .visibility, in the front to ,70 degrees compared to 35
-degrees in a standard MPV. The C4 Picasso utilises its
• available space very well. ■'That wheel at each corner stance doesn't just look good,
V it also maximises space for the : passenger cell. The boot has a •500-litre capacity. Fold the
- rear, seats down and there's a •massive 1.734 litres of avail- ablespace. , ^
