Citroën C3 Picasso

Driving aids

The C3 Picasso features a range of driving aids that enhance pleasure at the wheel by making driving easier and safer.
It can be fitted with rear parking assist, which activates automatically when the car is put into reverse.
And from the second trim level, the C3 Picasso ships as standard with a cruise control/speed limiter.

MyWay, a new integrated navigation solution

Citroën’s new integrated navigation system, MyWay, features a comprehensive range of functions at an attractive price. The new audio and multimedia system comprises integrated colour navigation, an MP3/WMA-compatible audio CD player and a Bluetooth® hands-free kit.

The new burglar-proof system comes with a wide, 7-inch colour screen for optimum visibility. It features complete Europe mapping and can be displayed in 2D or perspective mode to make itineraries easier to read. Also, map data is stored on an SD memory card, making the MP3/WMA-compatible CD player 100% available for audio functions. And for ever longer music lists, mobile media players can be connected to the auxiliary jack, or to the USB socket for those who select the USB Box option.

Impeccable seating comfort

The C3 Picasso offers the finest levels in comfort through a combination of comfortable seating and roominess.
The front seats have been slimmed down to increase cabin room but offer excellent support with their pronounced and inviting contour. Seat backs and bases provide consummate comfort.
Drivers get a range of adjustment possibilities to find the position that best suits their frame and driving style. The steering wheel has a travel distance of 40 mm (height and reach). The front seats slide back and forth over 170 mm and can be raised and lowered by 60 mm.
The rear seatbacks can be positioned at 23° or 28°.

Acoustic comfort worthy of the segment above

Designers paid special attention to the acoustics of the C3 Picasso. The result is excellent sound insulation.
Engine noise was dampened by fitting absorbent materials in the engine compartment – against the bulkhead and the scuttle aperture, for example. Soundproofing was mostly done at the source and the emphasis was placed on the tone of the noise, in particular on limiting high pitch sounds.
Citroën also took great care in sealing the vehicle body. It fitted high-performance inflated inserts in the tiniest nooks and crannies of the vehicle structure and double sealed all opening surrounds.
In addition, all the quarter-lights and door windows on all versions of the C3 Picasso are 3.85 mm thick, compared with 3.15 mm for most of the competition. This technology brings an immediately perceptible cut in outside noise.
