Citroen used its hometown auto show as the stage for the world premier of the all-new C3 Picasso small MPV. This mini-MPV version of the C3, which is also available as a convertible and a five-door hatchback, is designed to compete in the large and still-growing people mover market in Europe. Though Citroen says the C3 Picasso will be sold alongside the Xsara Picasso, most rumors point to the new C3 to eventually replace the more dated Xsara.
Citroen says the C3 Picasso will feature high-quality, soft-touch interior materials and innovations such as a portable flashlight (also seen on some Chrysler products in North America). Underhood, the C3 Picasso will feature two gas engines co-developed with BMW and two Citroen diesel units.
The C3 Picasso’s interior shares some of the ingenuity and unique features found in its C4 Picasso big brother. Its cubist style flows from the outside in with squared central gauges and design elements.
Underhood, two diesel motors and two gasoline engines will be offered. The C3 Picasso is set to compete against the Renault Modus and Honda Jazz, which is sold in North America as the Honda Fit.

With a name like Picasso, I expected pictures of asymmetrical naked women painted on the seats.
