Paris Show Cars Videos : 2007 Citroen C4 Picasso
The "extra-terrestrial" C-Metisse might gather most of the flashes in Citroen's Paris stand, but when the show's lights close, this is the one that'll get all the attention. And why shouldn't it? The C4 Picasso has its own signature styling that sets it apart from most of the other euro MPV's like the boxy VW Touran and Ford C-MAX, without compromising on interior space. Apart from the 7seat edition shown in the video, the C4 Picasso will also be available in a 5seat version with different rear end styling (see more here: C4 Picasso 5S Scoop)

Scoop : 2007 Citroen C4 Picasso 5 Seat
The wonders of technology... Thanks to a cell-phone camera we've got an "inside look" on Citroen's forthcoming 5seater edition of the new C4 Picasso. As previewed a few months ago from a French magazine (see pictures bellow), apart from the seats, the basic difference between the 7seater C4 Picasso, which will make its world premiere at Paris, is a shorter rear end which has a more sporty styling thanks to more "arched" roof and the longitudinal placed light clusters. According to my information, the 5seat C4 Picasso will be presented at next years

2007 Citroen C4 Picasso Press Release
Following yesterdays leak (click here C4 Picasso), Citroen came out with the official press release for its 2007 C4 Picasso which will make its world-premier appearance at the 2006 Paris Motor Show. The 4.6 m long 7seat MPV will be available with a 2.0 petrol & diesel engines producing 143 & 138 Hp respectively.
Interior Lighting & Practicality: The passenger compartment remains just as welcoming and atmospheric at night thanks to a host of original lighting sources, such as light guides under the front fascia, in the door panels and in the headlining that diffuse soft, gentle light inside the vehicle. Lighting can be customised day and night by selecting a colour on the control cluster, and the air conditioning screens at either end of the dashboard are illuminated by yellow lights.
Dimensions: C4 Picasso is an exceptionally spacious vehicle. Its architecture and dimensions (4.59 m long, 1.83 m wide and 1.66 m high) make for a roomy interior. The three rows of seats can comfortably accommodate up to seven passengers.
Boot Space C4 Picasso offers an exceptionally comfortable interior without reducing the size of the boot. The amount of boot space depends on the interior layout. In the most common configuration, with the seats in row three folded away and the row-two seats pushed right back, the volume beneath the parcel shelf of 576 litres VDA. When all the seats are folded away, maximum capacity is 1,951 litres VDA.
The quick, precise shifts of the six-speed electronic gearbox system deliver outstanding performance and one of the smoothest drives in its category. This gearbox also helps reduce fuel consumption by 4 to 5 per cent and CO2 emissions by 5 g per km.

2007 Citroen Picasso MPV Revealed
Following the "apocalypse" of a... chinese scale model of Citroen's forthcoming Picasso MPV on e-bay (click here to see: 2007 Citroen Picasso), these photos of the real thing showed up on the net today. The C4 based mid-sized MPV will be officialy revealed at the Paris Motor Show in September. Although less stylish than its predecessor -something that could be considered as an asset... the Picasso seems a bit more intresting to look at than most of its rivals (Ford C-Max, VW Touran etc).
Most importantly, the 2007 Picasso hopes to become the future French soccer-mom's dream car, since it now comes equipped with three rows of seats that can fit up to seven passengers. More on Citroen's 2007 Picasso to come...
A Question to Ponder- How the heck did the chinese manage to practically replicate a scale model (picture in the left) of the Picasso months before it's set to be unveiled ?Could this be the 2007 Citroen C4 Picasso?
Found this one on e-bay, a 1/43 scale model that want's us to believe it's the real thing –the 2007 Citroen C4 Picasso MPV that is scheduled to be unveiled in Paris in September. Although the car seems a tad different than the various scoops have suggested it to be, I have to say that this chinese made 1/43 model doesn't look anything out of the ordinary so it may very well be giving us a glimpse of the real production model.

Remember Citroen’s C4 1st Transformer Commercial (see bellow)? Well, the French seem to think that a lot of people liked it so they came up with another one. This time the C4 Transformer takes on skiing. Interesting but not so innovative and fun as the 1st one.

Citroen C4 Sedan coming to Europe in 2008
C-Triomphe is a forerunner to the car that will be launched in Europe in 2008 under the name C4 Sedan. Unveiled in China at the end of February, C-Triomphe goes on show in the Madrid Auto Salon for the first time in Europe, in a country where three-box vehicles are particularly popular.
Citroen previews two new editions of the C4 & C5 in Madrid
Premiered on the C4 and mated to the HDi 110 DPFS engine, the 6-speed electronic gearbox system is of an entirely new design.
This highly driveable engine boasts a range of advantages. Electro-hydraulic gearbox control makes for smooth, fast gear changing. At the same time, automated gear and clutch management cuts fuel consumption by between 3% and 5%, compared with a conventional manual gearbox.
This new gearbox therefore provides a real alternative to manual and automatic transmissions, not only in terms of driveability and comfort, but also in terms of fuel economy and a particularly attractive customer price. It joins the long list of innovative equipment available on the C4, for safety, convenience and on-board comfort.
The C4 HDi 110 DPFS equipped with the new 6-speed electronic gearbox system will be available from June 2006.
The C5 HDi 173 DPFS
The C5 range has gained a new HDi diesel engine developing 173 bhp DIN (125 kW or 170 bhp EEC), equipped with a particulate filter (DPFS) and mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.
Featuring a range of innovations (parallel sequential dual turbo and new combustion and injection systems), the new engine sets high standards in power and, above all, driveability, particularly at low engine speeds. It also stands out for its environmental performance (Euro IV + DPFS) and fuel economy.
This high-performance engine makes its market debut on the C5 from June 2006.

Citroen C-Triomphe - C4 Sedan
C…tretched Citroen unveiled a saloon version of its C4 compact hatchback that aims directly to the Chinese market
China loves sedans and Citroen, being a major player in this huge market, decided to add a sedan version of its C4 compact hatch. The French stretched C4’s platform to its limits: 4.8 m long, 1.77 m wide & 2.71 m wheelbase, thus, making the C-Triomphe nearly as large as Citroen’s mid size sedan, C5. Now will it come to
A vehicle of status with strong, dynamic, prestige styling
C Triomphe takes the form of a notchback saloon, 4.8 m long and 1.77 m wide. It is a car of real personality and presence, with exclusive, high-status design.
This new saloon reflects Citroën's style cues. The lines are elegant, flowing and harmonious. The chrome trim running the length of the waist line emphasises the prestige looks of C Triomphe and clearly identifies it as a vehicle of status. The boomerang-shaped lights at the rear echo the shape of the headlamps. The front and rear are linked by a chrome strip that underlines the spacious boot.
The interior design places the emphasis on space, well-being and comfort to create a relaxed in-car ambience.
With its long 2.71 m wheelbase, C Triomphe is exceptionally spacious. It sets a new standard in rear space, with its generous leg room. The ergonomic seats of C Triomphe are designed to provide exceptional comfort, by damping vertical vibrations. The driver and front passenger seats are electrically controlled. At the same time, C Triomphe features exceptional boot capacity of 513 litres VDA. The practical layout of the boot is further enhanced by the 60:40 split/fold rear seat.
The sophisticated interior design is highlighted by the light-coloured leather upholstery, fitted from the second level of trim, and the wood finish on the dashboard and door panels. Practical stowage compartments are placed around the cabin, including drawers under the rear seat. The glovebox can be cooled, and a 5-CD stacker is available under the rear seat between the two drawers.
Particular attention has been given to acoustic and thermal comfort. Air conditioning (automatic from the second level of trim) is standard. At the same time, to further improve comfort for rear passengers, an air blower fitted in the central armrest diffuses air towards the rear. The output can be adjusted and air vents make it possible to direct the flow of air. Completing this array of equipment, C Triomphe is equipped with a sunblind for the rear window.
Like the C4, C Triomphe boasts a host of innovations in driving ergonomics and on-board comfort. It features many modern, efficient driving aids designed for easy, relaxed driving.
The ergonomic driving position features a fixed-centred controls steering wheel. The fixed hub groups the main comfort functions and driving aids. This layout places the emphasis on ergonomics and easy use, thus promoting driving pleasure and safety.
The steering wheel is associated with a display unit of original design in which driving information (vehicle speed, speed limiter and cruise control settings, etc.) is shown on a translucent strip in the centre of the dashboard. The display contrast adjusts instantly to the light to provide perfect legibility is perfect in all circumstances, by day and night, in full sunlight or in darkness.
Exceptionally polished road manners
Manufactured on platform 2 of the PSA Peugeot Citroën Group, the C4 is a reference for roadholding and active safety.
C Triomphe shares the running gear of this platform. It is equipped with variable power steering as standard. The braking system comprises four discs, two of which are ventilated at the front. At the same time, dedicated stability and braking assistance/control functions provide exceptional roadholding. ABS, electronic brakeforce distribution, emergency braking assistance and the automatic illumination of hazard warning lights are standard. ESP is standard from the second level of trim.
A reliable and reassuring vehicle
The C4 also sets high standards in passive safety, as illustrated by its excellent results in EuroNCAP crash tests. C Triomphe also shares the structural reinforcements of platform 2. Like the C4, it boasts a wide range of features in this area. These include an additional impact absorber at the front end of the subframe to distribute energy more effectively in the event of frontal impact. At the same time, the boot effectively absorbs rear impact.
C Triomphe is fitted as standard with a driver airbag (shape-optimised thanks to the fixed centre of the steering wheel) and front passenger airbag. It also features driver and front passenger chest airbags with curtain airbags for passengers at the front and rear. Seatbelts with three anchor points, pyrotechnic pretensioners and force limiters are also standard.
C Triomphe is equipped with the 2.0I engine developing 108 kW EEC (150 bhp DIN), which meets Euro IV standards. This engine is mated to an automatic sequential or manual gearbox. The 2.0i 16V engine develops maximum torque of 200 Nm at 4,000 rpm. It features continuously variable valve timing (VVT) to optimise filling of the combustion chambers at all engine speeds. Torque of 170 Nm, almost 85% of the maximum torque available, is supplied from 2,000 rpm, providing exceptional driveability.
