[edit] Overview
The second C4 Picasso model was officially [1] unveiled on January 5, 2007 and will be displayed at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show; meanwhile, Citroën has indicated that the three vehicles, the Xsara Picasso, C4 Picasso would be commercialized in parallel. For range consistency, the seven-seater has been renamed Grand C4 Picasso with the unveiling of the five-seater.
The Grand C4 Picasso is slightly larger than other seven-seat compact MPVs like the Mazda5 and Renault Grand Scénic, and even larger than some early large MPVs like the Citroën Evasion. For this reason, some critics consider it as a large MPV, while other do not because of its similarities in engine range, inner room and price with compact MPVs.
A pneumatic rear suspension is available as an option which make the ride smoother and can lower the sill.
[edit] Engines
- 1.8 L petrol engine straight-4, 16-valve, 125 PS (123 hp/92 kW)
- 2.0 L petrol engine straight-4, 16-valve, 143 PS (141 hp/105 kW)

[edit] Transmissions
The C4 Picasso is available with either a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed EGS (Electronic Gearbox System), a semi-automatic transmission, which has two shifting options of either the fully automated mode or the paddle-shifted manual mode, chosen by a column mounted mode selector. The EGS also brings with it an air conditioned storage compartment (fridge) including can holders, between the driver's and the front passenger's seat, where the manual transmission lever would usually be.
[edit] Trim levels
Trim levels are the LX, SX, VTR+ and Exclusive. Surprisingly The LX trim only supplies a Stereo Radio/CD Player as an optional extra.
