Detailed analysis of the Citroën C4 Picasso THP 150 CMP Exclusive Plus · 150 CV (2008-2009)
General description
The 2007 Citroën C4 Picasso was not just another minivan; it was a true revolution on wheels. It arrived to redefine the concept of family travel, focusing on brightness, space, and a sense of freedom that broke with everything established. It was a promise of well-being and comfort, a vehicle designed from the inside out with each of its occupants in mind.
Driving experience
Driving the C4 Picasso is like gliding in a bubble of tranquility. The 150 HP THP engine offers a smooth and progressive response, ideal for effortlessly covering miles. However, the real star is the suspension, which filters out road irregularities with a mastery that makes you feel like you're floating. Don't look for sportiness, but for superb comfort and unparalleled inner peace, amplified by the incredible visibility. The CMP automated gearbox, although comfortable in relaxed driving, can be somewhat slow and hesitant if we demand speed, a small price to pay for its concept.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is pure audacity and emotion. The 'Visiospace' panoramic windshield is a work of art that extends to the roof, flooding the cabin with light and creating a unique connection with the outside. Its ovoid and futuristic silhouette broke with the square shapes of its competitors. Inside, the fixed-hub steering wheel and the central digital instrumentation made you feel like you were at the controls of a concept vehicle, a rolling lounge from the future to make every trip special.
Technology and features
For its time, the C4 Picasso was a technological showcase. Innovations such as the automatic electric parking brake, hill-start assist, or the fixed-hub steering wheel with central controls demonstrated Citroën's ambition. The fully digital instrumentation was a statement of intent, as was its sophisticated climate control system. The CMP automated manual gearbox, despite its peculiar operation, was part of that commitment to automation and comfort.
Competition
In such a competitive segment, the C4 Picasso faced established giants. The Renault Scénic was its natural arch-enemy, while the Ford C-MAX offered a more dynamic driving feel and the Volkswagen Touran represented sobriety and German quality. We also can't forget the Opel Zafira and its versatility. Against all of them, the Citroën played a unique and unbeatable card: that of emotional design and a ride comfort that created its own category.
Conclusion
The Citroën C4 Picasso is one of those cars that leaves a mark on the heart. It is not chosen with reason alone, but with the emotion of imagining the journeys and experiences that will be lived on board. It was a brave pioneer that put quality of life on board above all other considerations. Despite some mechanical peculiarities, its legacy is that of having created a space of light, comfort, and happiness for the family, a car that, more than transporting you, took care of you.
