Detailed analysis of the Citroën C4 Picasso Exclusive Plus HDi 110 CMP6 · 111 CV (2010-2011)
General description
The 2011 Citroën C4 Picasso is not just a minivan; it's a statement of intent about what a family trip should be. Born under the 'Visiospace' concept, this car envelops its occupants in a bubble of light and comfort, redefining the travel experience and turning every journey into a moment to enjoy the scenery and company.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the predominant sensation is one of floating. Its extraordinarily smooth suspension absorbs road imperfections with a delicacy that isolates you from the outside world. The 111-horsepower HDi engine responds adequately for a calm, family-oriented pace, but the CMP6 automated manual gearbox defines the car's character with slow and sometimes jerky transitions that encourage a relaxed driving style. Don't look for sportiness; here, luxury is the calm and quietness of the ride.
Design and aesthetics
Its design was a breath of fresh air, almost futuristic for its time. The giant panoramic windshield extends to the roof, flooding the cabin with incredible light and offering unparalleled visibility. Inside, modularity reigns supreme, with three independent rear seats and a minimalist dashboard with the digital instrumentation in the center. It's a design conceived from the inside out, where passenger well-being is the top priority.
Technology and features
For its time, the C4 Picasso offered generous equipment. Features like the electric parking brake, dual-zone climate control, or parking sensors were part of its appeal. The central digital instrumentation and the steering wheel with fixed central controls were Citroën's technological hallmarks. However, the technology of its CMP6 automated gearbox, although an attempt at affordable automation, feels outdated today due to its slowness and lack of refinement.
Competition
In a very competitive segment, its main adversary was always the Renault Scénic, with which it shared the philosophy of comfort and practicality. The Ford C-MAX offered a much more agile and dynamic drive for those who didn't want to give up driving sensations. On the other hand, the Volkswagen Touran represented sobriety and German build quality, while the SEAT Altea XL brought a sportier Spanish design touch.
Conclusion
The Citroën C4 Picasso is an ode to space, light, and family comfort. It's a car with an overwhelming personality that wins you over with its heart, not with adrenaline. Its cabin is an exceptional place to live and travel, and although its automated gearbox requires an adaptation period, its virtues as a family vehicle are so powerful that they make it an unforgettable and deeply human choice. It's a car for making memories.
