2017 Citroen C3 Picasso (spyshot)
While we didn't get to see Citroen's 2017 C3 Picasso
at this year's Paris Auto Show, Carscoops spy photographers managed to capture the
partially exposed front end of a covered up, but camouflage-free model.
The next C3 Picasso will share its
underpinnings with the Opel Meriva, though thanks to these new images, we can
clearly see just how different the two cars will be, at least when viewed from
the front.
There are other slightly more visible design cues this
time around as well - such as the rear lights which we can finally see have
more of a square shape as opposed to the Meriva's horizontal configuration,
which was believed to be utilized on the C3 Picasso as well until recently.
While ditching its small-MPV body style for more of
a crossover-like appearance, the C3 Picasso still has quite a few C3 supermini
cues to it, though at this point it's unclear it if will receive the company's
signature airbump panels.
Inside, the same tech present on the C3 could make
its way into the C3 Picasso as well. This means a 3D sat-nav system with
real-time traffic info, a rearview camera, SOS live assistance, blind spot
warning, hill start assist and even driver fatigue warning.
We're expecting some downsized
turbocharged petrol units, as well as some BlueHDI diesel ones. Again, looking
at the all-new C3, it comes with three-cylinder PureTech petrol engines, rated
at 68 PS, 82 PS and 110 PS, as well as two versions of the previously mentioned
1.6-liter BlueHDI engine, rated at 75 PS and 100 PS. It's quite possible some
of them will be available on the C3 Picasso too, once it finally comes out.
