C3 Picasso upgraded for 2013

Citroën has upadated the C3 Picasso for 2013 with new design features, fresh body colours and additional optional technology.

New exterior styling features include a revised front bumper and the latest Citroën chevron badge on all versions. VTR+ and Exclusive models also receive LED daytime running lights. Two new body colours are also introduced; Ink Blue and Pearlescent White.

The cabin is updated with a new trim called Mistral ‘Mixou’ cloth, which is specified as standard on all VTR+ models. There’s also the option of a new ‘Claudia Mistral’ full black leather upholstery on Exclusive models.

Citroën’s new E-MyWay satellite navigation system is added to the option list, with extra functionality over the previous MyWay system, but at no extra cost. E-MyWay can also be specified with a reversing camera and rear parking sensors for easier manoeuvres.

An electro-chrome rear view mirror is now included in C3 Picasso’s Automatic Pack option at no extra charge and the new-look C3 Picasso comes with new 15-inch ‘Asterodea’ wheel covers as standard on VT versions.

Citroën has also uprated the power output of the HDi 110 engine on the C3 Picasso Exclusive, renaming it HDi 115. The slight increase in power has no effect on the model’s fuel economy or CO2 emissions.
