Detailed analysis of the Citroën C4 Picasso THP 150 CMP Exclusive Plus · 150 CV (2010)
General description
The 2007 Citroën C4 Picasso was not just a minivan; it was a statement of intent. A vehicle that redefined the concept of family travel, enveloping its occupants in a bubble of light and comfort. This version, with its energetic 150-horsepower THP engine and CMP automated gearbox, promised a balance of efficiency, performance, and a design audacity that still turns heads today.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the C4 Picasso feels like a rolling lounge bathed in light. The 150 hp THP engine pushes with surprising joy for a family car, offering a strong response from low revs thanks to the turbo. The suspension prioritizes absolute comfort, filtering out irregularities with exquisite smoothness. The CMP gearbox, while not the fastest, allows for relaxed driving, although its transitions are sometimes noticeable. The dominant sensation is one of spaciousness and visibility, almost like traveling in a panoramic capsule.
Design and aesthetics
Citroën broke the mold with a design that looked like something out of a science fiction movie. Its hallmark is the 'Visiospace' panoramic windshield, which extends to the roof, creating unparalleled brightness and a sense of space. The fluid lines, sharp headlights, and centralized digital instrumentation on the dashboard created a minimalist and futuristic interior that prioritized life on board and the well-being of all passengers.
Technology and features
For its time, the C4 Picasso Exclusive Plus was a technological showcase. The fully digital and customizable instrumentation was its calling card, along with the steering wheel with fixed central controls, a solution as original as it was distinctive. The six-speed CMP automated manual gearbox, with paddle shifters behind the wheel, sought to combine the comfort of an automatic with the efficiency of a manual. Added to this were advanced comfort features like climate control and an electric parking brake.
Competition
In a segment as competitive as compact minivans, the C4 Picasso faced established giants. Its main adversaries were the Renault Scénic, another benchmark in modularity and comfort; the Ford C-MAX, which stood out for its more agile dynamic behavior; and the Volkswagen Touran, the epitome of sobriety and German build quality. Against them, Citroën played the card of bold design and supreme comfort.
Conclusion
The Citroën C4 Picasso THP 150 was much more than a simple means of transport; it was a companion for family adventures, a haven of light and comfort. Its avant-garde design and focus on well-being made it an icon. Although the CMP gearbox and the reliability of its THP engine generated divided opinions, its ability to make everyday journeys special is an indelible legacy. A car with a soul, designed to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
