Detailed analysis of the Citroën C4 Picasso THP 150 CMP Exclusive · 150 CV (2010)
General description
The 2007 Citroën C4 Picasso was a breath of fresh air in the minivan segment, a vehicle that redefined the concept of family travel. With its 150-horsepower THP engine, this Exclusive version not only promised a bright and versatile space but also a capable performance that made it the ideal companion for devouring miles with a sense of comfort and modernity unparalleled for its time.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the C4 Picasso conveys a sense of command and overwhelming visibility thanks to its 'Visiospace' panoramic windshield. The 150 hp THP engine pushes energetically from low revs, moving the vehicle with surprising agility for its size. The suspension, markedly comfort-oriented, filters out road irregularities with a smoothness that makes you feel like you're floating on the road. However, the CMP piloted gearbox is the bittersweet point; its operation is somewhat slow and jerky in shifts, requiring a period of adaptation to enjoy a smooth drive. It's a car for relaxed travel, not for seeking sporty thrills.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the C4 Picasso is, in a word, avant-garde. Citroën broke the mold with a body of soft, rounded lines where glass is the absolute protagonist. The interior is an extension of that philosophy: an open space, full of light and intelligent solutions. The dashboard with central digital instrumentation, the fixed-hub steering wheel, and the three individual and identical rear seats create a rolling lounge atmosphere, a place where every passenger enjoys the journey as much as the driver.
Technology and features
For a 2010 model, the C4 Picasso Exclusive was loaded with technology aimed at making life on board easier. Its innovative digital instrumentation, electric parking brake, four-zone climate control, and cruise control stood out. The fixed-hub steering wheel, although peculiar, concentrated a large number of functions at your fingertips. The piloted manual gearbox (CMP) was its bet on automation, a technical solution that, while not perfect, represented the brand's innovative spirit.
Competition
At its peak, the C4 Picasso faced fierce competition in the compact minivan segment. Its main adversary was the Renault Scénic, the other major French benchmark. The Ford C-MAX offered more agile and sporty dynamic behavior, while the Volkswagen Touran positioned itself as the sober alternative with superior finish quality. Other rivals to consider were the SEAT Altea XL, with a more youthful approach, and the Toyota Corolla Verso, known for its reliability.
Conclusion
The Citroën C4 Picasso THP 150 was much more than just a minivan; it was a statement of intent. A vehicle for families who did not want to give up design, light, and a feeling of exceptional comfort. Its bold 'Visiospace' concept and its interior modularity made it a success. Despite the peculiarities of its CMP gearbox, the overall package offered a unique, pleasant, and different driving and travel experience. It is a car that is fondly remembered for making every trip a small adventure.
