Detailed analysis of the Citroën C4 Picasso HDi 135 CMP Exclusive · 136 CV (2010)
General description
The 2007 Citroën C4 Picasso was not just a minivan; it was a statement of intent. At a time when space and functionality for the family were key, Citroën dared to dream, creating a vehicle that looked like it came from a futuristic car show. With its 'Visiospace' concept, it promised a bright, comfortable, and radically different travel experience from anything known before.
Driving experience
Driving the C4 Picasso is like floating on asphalt. Its 136 diesel horsepower moves the vehicle with admirable competence, without sporting pretensions but with the necessary strength to travel loaded without stress. The CMP automated manual gearbox seeks smoothness over speed, inviting a calm and relaxed drive. The suspension absorbs every imperfection, prioritizing passenger comfort above all else. The feeling of spaciousness and visibility provided by its gigantic panoramic windshield is simply unparalleled, turning every journey into an almost cinematic experience.
Design and aesthetics
Design is its soul. It broke the mold with a futuristic, rounded silhouette that maximized interior space. The front, with its huge windshield that merges into the roof, and the thin front pillars, created a cabin flooded with light. Inside, the audacity continued with a centralized digital instrument cluster and the iconic fixed-hub steering wheel that grouped a multitude of functions. It was a brave design, intended to make its occupants feel special.
Technology and features
For its time, the C4 Picasso was at the forefront of its segment. Beyond its innovative digital dashboard, the Exclusive trim offered features like four-zone climate control, an electric parking brake, or the optional pneumatic rear suspension that maintained a constant height. The CMP automated manual gearbox, although with a particular character, was a sign of the search for comfort through automation. It was a car loaded with ingenious solutions to make life on board easier and more pleasant.
Competition
In the competitive compact minivan market, the C4 Picasso faced titans. Its main adversary was the Renault Scénic, another French bestseller with a similar focus on modularity. The Ford C-MAX offered more agile dynamic behavior for those who didn't want to give up driving sensations. From Germany, the Volkswagen Touran represented sobriety and a superior perceived build quality, while the SEAT Altea opted for a design with a sportier touch.
Conclusion
The Citroën C4 Picasso is more than a family car; it's the memory of unforgettable journeys under a glass roof. Its legacy is having demonstrated that practicality is not at odds with emotion and bold design. Its ride comfort remains a benchmark and its roominess, a marvel. Although the CMP gearbox may not be to everyone's taste, it defines its serene character. A vehicle that left an indelible mark and that, even today, feels special and welcoming.
