The Citroen C4 Picasso is an alternative for those
who perhaps look at a C4 Grand Picasso but haven’t the need or desire for seven
seats. For the Malaysian market, there’s now a base C4 Picasso L2 Seduction
trim retailing for RM 125,164.29 (on-the-road without insurance), slotting in
under the RM 145k L3 Exclusive model launched in early 2016.
The L2 Seduction sold in Malaysia carries the same 1.6
litre turbocharged petrol four producing 165 PS and 240 Nm of torque as in the
L3 Exclusive, but the equipment list is slightly pared back. On the outside, it
gets halogen reflector headlamps and bulb-type tail lights instead of xenon
projectors and LED units, respectively, and it also misses out on a few chrome
trims on the lower front intake, side window surrounds and tailgate. The
wheels, however, are the same 17-inch Anaconda items.
Inside, gone are the full-LCD digital instrument
cluster and part-leather upholstery, replaced by a monochrome digital display
and full fabric seats instead. The massage function for the front seats have
been removed too, while the rear tailgate is now a manual affair.
The rest of the car remains much the same.
Keyless entry, panoramic windscreen, dual-zone air-con, seven-inch touchscreen
with navigation, cruise control and rear work tables are all present and
accounted for, as are six airbags and electronic stability control. The only
feature taken out on the safety front is the blind-spot monitoring system.
The Citroen C4 Picasso L2 Seduction is available in
Malaysia in four colours – Rouge Rubi (red), Blanc Banquise (white), Gris Shark
(grey, pictured) and Moka (brown).
