An enchanting drive
The
C3 Picasso betters the on-road performance of rival MPVs by delivering
real driving pleasure, close to that of a saloon from a superior
category. Smoothness, comfort and peace of mind are guaranteed.
Roadholding worthy of a saloon
The C3 Picasso keeps an excellent vehicle attitude at all times and
boasts precise roadholding, thanks to efficient running gear providing
the best compromise between ride comfort and roadholding in all driving
conditions.
The MacPherson-type front suspension features lower wishbones and an
anti-roll bar. The rear suspension has a flexible transverse beam. Its
dimensions and stiffness provide excellent driving sensations.
Depending on the level of trim and the engine, the C3 Picasso ships
with 15-inch wheels and 195/60 R15 Michelin Energy Saver tyres, 16-inch
wheels with 195/55 R16 Michelin Energy Savers, or 17-inch wheels with
205/45 R17 Michelin Pilot Exalto 2.
Variable-assistance
power steering is fitted as standard. Power assistance is linked to
engine speed and steering wheel angle, providing the right amount of
feel for each driving situation. Steering is firmer at high engine
speeds for increased safety and lighter at low engine speeds for easy
manoeuvring.
The C3 Picasso boasts high-level active
safety, with exceptionally surefooted road manners and a
high-performance braking system. A full range of electronic driving
aids spring into action when the situation gets delicate. Fitted as
standard on the C3 Picasso, ABS and electronic brakeforce distribution
(EBD) are backed up by emergency brake assist and automatic hazard
warning lights.
ESP is also available as an option. If the
vehicle loses grip, this function automatically puts it back on course
and limits wheel skid with the ASR traction control system.
