What is the Citroën C3 Picasso?

The C3 Picasso is a small, five-door MPV designed to make family space fit within a compact car. Its upright body and broad windows give the cabin an airy feel, while the boxy shape makes it easy to use day to day. It sat at the smaller end of Citroën’s Picasso people-carrier range, alongside the C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso. Citroën launched it in 2008.
