The Citroën C4 Picasso is a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), available as a five-seater and a seven-seater version, called the Grand C4 Picasso, produced by French manufacturer Citroën. The seven-seat Grand C4 Picasso made its debut first, at the Paris Motor Show in September 2006, with the five-seat version following in January 2007.
The C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso were designed by Donato Coco for the French manufacturer Citroën and share the same platform and engines with the Citroën C4 and the Peugeot 307.
Both the C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso are produced at the Vigo PSA Factory in Spain.
The first generation Grand C4 Picasso, a seven-seater, was launched in November 2006 and produced until 2013, when the second generation took over. The vehicle shares the same platform and range of engines as the Citroën C4 I and Peugeot 307.
The five-seater C4 Picasso was officially unveiled early in January 2007, launched in February, and was displayed at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
Both vehicles feature a large panoramic windscreen and thin door pillars to enhance the driver's field of vision, eliminate blind spots, and increase the amount of light inside the front cabin. In addition to the front sun visors both vehicles have two blinds attached to further reduce glare and unwelcome lights for the driver and front passenger.
The Grand C4 Picasso is slightly larger than its nearest seven-seat MPV competitors like the Mazda5 and Opel/Vauxhall Zafira Tourer, and larger than earlier large MPVs such as the Citroën Evasion and Opel Sintra.
