Style

The Look of Style

Citroën Grand C4 Picasso will seduce your eye and welcome you in to a new style of beautifully crafted driving.
Smooth, seamless and designed with excellence as standard, a free flowing single line runs from the super-wide windscreen and spectacular roof to the rear spoiler, creating an amazing aerodynamic profile. Large windows, a dynamic waist line and marked break in the rear quarter-lights impose their mark of distinction, while at the rear, the absence of body-coloured C-pillars creates the impression of an extended window line.

The brake-lights add a distinctive flair, a unique visual design offering the highest standards in size and lines of light. Eye catching front headlamps are beautifully designed and inspired with an elegant transparency, subtly underlined by the coloured tone of the indicators.

The wide chevron badge with angled chrome strips extending up to the headlamps creates a design signature that stamps the Grand C4 Picasso with its unmistakable identity.

Safety

Safety is Key

When it comes to the demands of safety, the Grand C4 Picasso takes you further.

Active safety is assured by innovative features. The Grand C4 Picasso is built to absorb energy in the event of a collision. Further benefits include a reinforced cabin layout, three point seat belts on all the seats, and 7 airbags.

The Grand C4 Picasso pays particular attention to child safety. The Child-lock system is operated by electric controls within easy reach of the driver's hand, which instantly lock and unlock the windows and rear doors.

In Safe Hands

In the event of an impact, the Grand C4 Picasso features a steering column airbag protecting the driver's knees and shins. The driver's airbag is designed to be deployed at the required, precise angle for optimal protection. Further protection is built-in so that the pressure and volume of the airbag automatically adjusts with the force of collision.

In the front seats are two further side airbags for thorax and body protection while two curtain airbags offer head protection for all passengers in the first two rows of seats.

Electric Braking

The Grand C4 Picasso's automatic electric parking brake improves comfort and safety. This electric brake is automatically applied when the engine stops. The ECU works in tandem with the ESP to calculate the force required to immobilise the vehicle, depending on the gradient of the road. As soon as the torque applied to the drive wheels is sufficient, the parking brake is automatically released.

The electric handbrake control is located within easy reach in the middle of the dashboard, and can be used to apply the parking brake in a conventional manner if required.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) operates automatically on the distribution of braking power together with the engine speed to stabilise the trajectory of the car on bends as soon as any risk of oversteer or understeer has been detected by the system's electronic sensors.

The traction control (ASR) is linked to the ESP and immediately reduces the excess power to the driving wheels in the event of wheel spin. It also operates when moving off should excessive acceleration be applied on a slippery road surface.

Anti-Lock Braking System

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) electronically regulates braking pressure to avoid wheel-locking so the driver can maintain road holding and the ability to steer the vehicle when braking.

Connected to the ABS, the Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) ensures braking pressure is evenly applied to the wheels (front-rear and right-left) so that, should the need arise; maximum effect can be achieved from the braking power. Emergency Braking Assistance (EBA) instantly amplifies braking pressure in the event of an emergency so that the stopping distance is the shortest possible.
