Detailed analysis of the Citroën C4 Picasso PureTech 130 S&S EAT6 Feel · 131 CV (2016-2018)
General description
The 2016 Citroën C4 Picasso is the embodiment of the modern family minivan, a vehicle conceived from the inside out to maximize comfort, light, and space. With its 131-horsepower PureTech engine and EAT6 automatic transmission, it promises a smooth and serene driving experience, enveloping its occupants in a bubble of well-being and avant-garde design that broke the mold in its segment.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the C4 Picasso feels like a rolling sanctuary. The small 1.2-liter, three-cylinder engine is surprisingly spirited at low revs thanks to the turbo, moving the vehicle with unexpected ease. The torque converter automatic transmission is the perfect ally for relaxed driving, with almost imperceptible transitions that prioritize smoothness over speed. The markedly soft suspension filters out road imperfections with superb efficiency, inviting you to devour miles without fatigue, although it does show body roll in corners if pushed at a sporty pace. It's not a car for thrill-seekers, but for enjoying the journey with an enchanting calm and silence.
Design and aesthetics
Its aesthetics are, without a doubt, its most defining and emotional feature. With a two-level light signature and a fluid profile, the C4 Picasso looks like it's from the future. The split A-pillar and the gigantic panoramic windshield flood the cabin with spectacular light, creating a unique sense of spaciousness and freedom. Inside, minimalism takes over the dashboard, dominated by two digital screens that centralize all information and controls. Every corner is designed for life on board, with three individual rear seats and a huge, modular trunk that adapts to any family need.
Technology and features
For its time, the C4 Picasso was a true spaceship. The cockpit is built around a customizable 12-inch panoramic screen that serves as the instrument cluster and a lower 7-inch touchscreen for managing climate control, navigation, and the multimedia system. This concentration of functions, though innovative, requires an adaptation period. It includes features like the Stop & Start system to improve urban efficiency and, in this Feel trim, already had essential driving aids that made journeys safer and more comfortable.
Competition
In the competitive world of compact minivans, the C4 Picasso faced titans like the Renault Scénic, another icon of French design; the Ford C-MAX, which offered a more dynamic and agile drive; and the Volkswagen Touran, the benchmark for its sobriety, quality finishes, and German practicality. Against them, the Citroën played the card of absolute comfort and a bold design that left no one indifferent.
Conclusion
The Citroën C4 Picasso is much more than a car; it's a statement of intent. It is the choice for those who see the automobile as a space for sharing and living family experiences. Its aesthetic audacity, its bright interior, and its exceptional ride comfort make it a vehicle with a special soul. Despite not being the most dynamic, it wins you over with its ability to make every trip a moment of peace and enjoyment, a true living room on wheels that defined an era.
