The Citroen C4 Picasso could be your answer if you are looking for a spacious and comfortable family ride like no other.
The C4 Picasso was honoured with the “Best Family Ride of the Year (RM100,000 – RM200,000)” award at the recent inaugural CarSifu Editors’ Choice Awards.
Award judges took into account the C4 Picasso’s range of innovative driving conveniences, comprehensive safety features, and powerful 1.6-litre turbocharged 4-inline engine with 165PS and 240Nm of torque, which is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
This beauty is priced at RM148,888 on-the-road with insurance, and has a five-year unlimited mileage warranty.
Features include automatic dual zone air-conditioning, push-start ignition with keyless entry, active cruise control, rear view camera, electric tailgate, driver’s seat with electric massage function and adjustable lumbar support, and front passenger’s seat with massage function, and 17-inch Anaconda alloy wheels.
The uncluttered dashboard has two central screens - a 7-inch touchpad and a 12-inch panoramic HD screen.
The 7-inch touchpad controls all the in-car functions: dual zone air conditioning, navigation, audio, telephone, and driving aids.
The C4 Picasso also has lots of convenient stowage compartments and is cleverly designed with storage nets, aircraft-style trays on the front seat-backs (with LED lighting), and the under-floor storage in the second row.
Featuring an uncluttered loft-style interior ambience, the C4 Picasso’s long 2,785mm wheelbase provides class-beating cabin space.
There’s a class-best capacity of 537 litres for rear cargo space, and up to 630 litres with the seats in row two pushed forward.
The interior applies business-class travel standards which is reinforced by the panoramic windscreen.
It has an exclusive Lounge Pack, comprising front massage seats, a “Relax” seat enabling the front passenger to stretch out his or her legs, and a Relax headrest on all seats for optimum neck support.
Safety features include six airbags and an Electronic Stability Program (ESP) featuring Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), traction control, and hill-start assist, reverse camera, blind spot monitoring system (with LED alert on door mirrors), Lane Departure Warning System with visual and active seatbelt alert, rear ISOFIX points, automatic headlamps, anti-theft alarm, automatic windscreen wipers, 3-point seatbelts for all occupants, and front and rear parking sensors.
The C4 Picasso is designed with a stylish front end armed with slim LED daytime-running lights that extend the line of the radiator grille, sitting just on top of the slender xenon headlamps.
Its rear LED lights feature a profound, futuristic 3D effect.
The C4 Picasso has a good balance between comfort and road-holding with its electric power steering and running gear optimised for a smooth, lively performance.
The C4 Picasso comes with a 3-year free service.
