Test Drive Citroen C3 Picasso since 2008 Hatchback

Citroen C3 Picasso. Night went on business

Moscow tests of the new Citroen C3 Picasso took place under the cover of the night. The unusual format of the test drive favorably emphasized the extraordinary qualities of the debutant

The new Citroen C3 Picasso looks like a brave fantasy of the artist, embodied in metal, plastic, rubber and other automotive materials. Each item as an exterior and interior looks bright and unusual. The appearance of Citroen is not only a bold solution of designers, but also the pragmatic calculation of engineers.

The unusual car was designed to emphasize the night test drive, held in Moscow. Under the cover of Darkness, journalists had to undergo not easy tests. At first they were loaded in the trunk cardboard boxes with a total volume of 1506 liters. Then he checked maneuverability on the narrow alleys of the Catherine Park. The complexity was that the couples in love lived everywhere in the dark could not be noticed. Fortunately, no couple during the dough suffered.

Citroen C3 Picasso feels great not only in the city, but also on high-speed country tracks. The 95-strong 1.4 L engine is gaining 100 km / h in 12.2 s. This engine works in conjunction with a very troubled gearbox.

The culmination of the test drive began crossing the ferry. The non-standard task has demonstrated the same non-standard possibilities of this city car. It turned out that C3 Picasso has decent geometric patency. Even very steep congresses were not a serious obstacle.

A bright night presentation fully reflected the initiality of Citroen C3 Picasso. Compact and at the same time a spacious car sold at a price of 499,000 rubles. Will definitely find his buyer.
