Citroen C4 Picasso

"In an age where SUVs have muscled their way into every family driveway, the Citro�n C4 Picasso stands proudly as one of the last true MPVs - a vehicle designed first and foremost for people and practicality, not posing. But don't be fooled: there's more style and sophistication in this Feel-trim Picasso than you might expect. Forget the boxy vans of old - the C4 Picasso is an MPV with sculpted curves, a sweeping windscreen, and that unmistakably Citro�n front end, with split-level lighting and chrome accents that lend it a futuristic edge. The panoramic windscreen flows into the glass roof, flooding the cabin with light and lending a sense of airiness rarely found in this class. Under the bonnet is Citro�n's tried-and-tested 1.6-litre BlueHDi diesel, producing a respectable 120hp, paired with the EAT6 automatic gearbox. It's not a rocket ship, nor does it pretend to be � but what it delivers in refinement, smoothness, and fuel economy (over 65mpg in the real world) makes it an ideal long-distance cruiser. The ride quality? Sublime. Citro�n has tuned the suspension for comfort, not corner carving � and that's exactly as it should be in a car like this. The Picasso wafts over imperfections like a small limousine, with whisper-quiet cabin insulation to match. Step inside and it's clear: this isn't just a people carrier, it's a mobile lounge. There's legroom and headroom to spare, clever storage throughout, and three individual rear seats, each with ISOFIX mounts � perfect for the multi-child families that SUVs always forget. The Feel trim brings a bright 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, DAB, rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, and a swathe of driver aids that make life easier behind the wheel. The boot? A cavernous 537 litres, expanding to over 1,800 litres with the rear seats down. Whether it's luggage, flat-pack furniture, or the dog's favourite crate � the Picasso can take it all.
