Panoramic view commanding the road
The
driver’s position provides immense peripheral visibility thanks to a
three-part panoramic windscreen that until now has only equipped
upper-range MPVs. The windscreen design allows for slimmer A pillars
with a significant reduction in binocular vision obstruction. The
driver’s panoramic and unobstructed view boosts front three-quarter
vision and brings a substantial improvement in safety.
The C3
Picasso’s ultra-slim A pillars generate a side vision angle of 29.5°,
the best in the segment. This angle encompasses front quarter-lights
that are particularly wide at the base. Upward visibility is equally
impressive, opening up to 26°.
Flowing
seamlessly on from the windscreen, the panoramic glass roof, available
as an option, floods the cabin with light. At 1,208 mm long and 818 mm
wide, it brings an incredibly airy feel for all passengers.
All
told, including the three-part windscreen, the side windows, the
tailgate window and the panoramic glass roof, the C3 Picasso boasts a
total glazed surface area of 4.52 m2.

Driving position for enhanced on-road experience
Instrument cluster focused on the driver and on
passengers
The
C3 Picasso has a “wink” shaped instrument cluster that perfectly sums
up the C3 Picasso’s philosophy, combining driving pleasure and
good
times on-board.
The instrument cluster is positioned on
the central axis of the vehicle in classic MPV-style so that all
passengers have access to cabin information. But the C3 Picasso’s
instrument cluster is also turned slightly toward the driver, who
benefits from a special area on the cluster resembling a translucent
eye. This area groups information linked directly to driving –
including the speedometer and cruise control/speed limiter – in the
driver’s line of sight.

Practical controls and adjustments
As with the instrument cluster, the ergonomic design of the controls
enhances the driving experience. The dashboard-mounted gearstick is
exactly where the driver wants it to be, while all versions of the C3
Picasso are fitted as standard with height-adjustable driver’s seats,
while the steering column is height- and reach-adjustable.
