2015 Citroen C4 Picasso Review

We’ve effectively got the entry model variant of the C4 Picasso on test here, with the C4 Picasso range being incredibly easy to understand unlike some of its competitors. Basically, buyers start with the base car starting from $40,990 plus on-road costs (as we have here) and then add options, as they like.

Our test C4 Picasso has only one option â€" the Citroen Driver Assist Pack which costs $2000, taking the price to $42,990 plus on-road costs. There’s plenty of included technology as standard, but the clever driver assistance package adds lane departure warning, electrochrome rear view mirror, smart beam function, active cruise control, active seat belts and collision warning system. Given most C4 Picassos will be family vehicles, this technology is a worthy addition over the basic buy in price and packs plenty in for the ask.

As you’ll see in our breakdown, there’s a long list of standard equipment. Some of the highlights include: 360-degree vision and a reverse camera, LED daytime running lights with 3D LED taillights, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, automatic lights and wipers, blind-spot monitoring, cruise control with speed limiter, seven-inch touchscreen with DAB+ radio and an 8Gb jukebox, front and rear parking sensors with park assist, panoramic windscreen with sliding sun blinds and a panoramic sunroof with dark tint and electric sliding blind. The C4 Picasso has a space saver spare wheel and tyre.

There’s so much glass that it changes the overall perspective of the C4 as you look at it from outside. The huge windscreen area just about becomes one with the expansive glass sunroof, which itself flows into the rear glass section. You get the sense from the outside looking in, that visibility from the cabin won’t be an issue. It’s not â€" more on that in a minute.
