For The engine gives you plenty of punch for an easy life, and in our favourite VTR+ trim, you get all the kit you need, plus the full set of airbags.

Citroën C3 Picasso MPV

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

This is the best C3 Picasso you can buy, thanks to the punchy engine, reasonable running costs and impressive safety kit. Expensive, but worth every penny.
