Citroën C3 Picasso MPV 1.6 HDi 8v 90 Exclusive 5dr Review

For This version comes stuffed with luxury kit like automatic lights and wipers, dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors and powered rear windows.

Against No C3 Picasso is cheap, but this is one of the most expensive versions available. A pokier engine would better suit a car that's this tooled-up.

3 out of 5 stars

You get loads of toys and a decent diesel engine for your money, but you pay handsomely for it. We reckon the cheaper VTR+ trim is better value.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

You have three trims to choose from if you have your heart set on a Citroen C3 Picasso. We'd avoid the entry VT trim. It comes with electric front windows and a CD player, but crucially, only two airbags. Our favourite VTR+ models adds side and curtain 'bags, along with air-conditioning, alloys and cruise control. Exclusive models are stuffed with goodies like automatic lights and wipers, dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors and powered rear windows, but these versions are a bit pricey.

On the engine front, we'd recommend the 118bhp 1.6 petrol. It's strong, flexible and it stays smooth and quiet at all times. There's a 94bhp 1.4 available for less money, but it struggles a bit when you take it out of town, so we'd pay the extra for the 1.6. Two 1.6-litre turbodiesels give either 91bhp or 108bhp. Both are strong and smooth, and give good fuel economy. However, they're expensive and you'll have to do a lot of miles to justify spending the extra.
