CITROENC3 Picasso 2013 - 2017

　　Citroen introduced a facelift for the C3 Picasso in 2013, preparing it for the upcoming Euro6 standards that came into force in Europe in the Fall of 2014.

　　After five years on the market, the C3 Picasso was finally updated by the French automaker, which was not in a very solid financial situation. Moreover, the small-sized MPV was not a hot cake, and its sales were way below expectations. So, a change in its look and improved engines were performed. But, unfortunately, that change didn't transform the car into a best seller.

　　On the 2013 model, the C3 Picasso sported a new front fascia. Thus, Citroen added a chromed trim on the upper side of the bumper and integrated the "double-chevron" badge on it. Also, the lower side was redesigned and sported LED daytime running lights placed underneath the fog lamp' clusters. But the automaker didn't stop there and also improved the look of the taillights, which got clear lenses.

　　There were more changes on the interior, with improved materials and a new sat-nav system placed atop the center stack. Like its predecessor, the C3 Picasso featured an instrument cluster mounted in the dashboard's center, so even those seated in the back could read the speed. The rear split-folding (60/40) bench had a sliding function that allowed owners to get more space for the luggage area.

　　Under the hood, Citroen introduced the 1.2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine in the lineup. Still, the base model featured a 1.4-liter naturally aspirated powerplant. There were also two turbo-diesel versions. The automaker mostly offered the car with a manual gearbox. However, a six-speed automatic was available at extra costs for specific versions.
