ENGINES
The
C3 Picasso is available with a choice of four 5-speed manual engines
from launch – two new petrol engines, which have been co-developed with
BMW and two well established HDi diesel units – allowing drivers to
select their ideal blend of agile city performance and long-distance
fuel economy.
|
|
The two petrol units – VTi 95 and VTi 120
– combine efficient economy with responsive performance and lowered CO2
emissions – the VTi 120 already complies with future Euro V pollution
standards and emits just 159g/km of CO2.
|
|
|
Both diesel engines – the HDi 90 and HDi 110
DPFS – are from Citroën’s impressive HDi line up boasting near
60mpg fuel economy and low combined-cycle CO2
emissions of just 125g/km and 130g/km respectively. The HDi 110 also
features an ‘overboost’ function that increases turbo pressure when an
extra burst of power is needed.
|
|
The HDi 110 unit’s low emissions and particulate filter
system
(DPFS) fitted as standard means that it qualifies for Citroën’s
Airdream® signature, a label reserved only for the Company’s most
environmentally respectful vehicles. Citroën’s HDi diesel range can
also be run on up to 30% bio-diesel, without modification.
