Ground clearance

Truly "sore spot" of the car - it's ground clearance or ground clearance. It is 174 mm, but with a characteristic front overhang, this was not enough for the owners of the Citroen C3 Picasso. Clearance reviews are not the most flattering. It must be understood that Russian roads do not imply driving low cars, since even in the city highways cannot boast of ideal coverage. In addition, in our yards there are curbs left over from the Soviet past, and they were installed without taking into account the appearance of vehicles in the yard. Moreover, the Russian winter is, of course, snowdrifts and a high level of snow even on highways, so a low car will not be comfortable in such conditions. All these shortcomings "Citroen c3 Picasso" reviews of the owners contain.

Comfort

The comfort of the car is due to a spacious interior and a spacious trunk, the volume of which is 385 liters. Despite the seemingly small size, the cabin is really very spacious, and five people can easily fit in it. The front part of this minivan always attracts motorists, it is quite high and has a unique arrangement of headlights and lanterns. Also, the car has additional aluminum roof rails, which ensure the safe transportation of goods weighing up to 60 kg. If we evaluate the overall appearance"Picasso", we can say that he is unique and individual.

The side windows are equipped with lights that light up when the doors are opened, and this pleases drivers when they have to get into the car in the evening in a dark courtyard. With such flashlights somehow calmer. The wheels are equipped with steel alloy wheels, which can be selected by the consumer at his own discretion. All these characteristics make this family car elegant and attractive.

Safety

Safety, which is so important for traveling in a car, especially in a family car, is thought out very thoroughly by Picasso. All the necessary systems are there: ABC, REF, AFU, and an automatic alarm is installed. In addition, in all trim levels "Citroen Picasso" four airbags are installed: two side and two driver's airbags. The presence of cruise control and the ESP vehicle stability control system is also a positive indicator of this brand. It was all this that created the image of the Picasso as a family car.

Attractiveness

Since the Citroen Picasso is very roomy, yet agile and compact, it becomes clear why it is so popular among city dwellers. It is maneuverability that is another feature for which car owners fell in love with Picasso so much. Its attractive streamlined shape and quite presentable appearance meet all the needs of modern motorists. Saloninside is very cozy, everything is at hand, and a lot of all kinds of "bells and whistles and options." Women especially like it.

And the fact that it consumes fuel economically characterizes the car as affordable for many segments of the population. Russian motorists prefer "Picasso" with a manual transmission.
