Citroen is about to launch a new special edition of the C3 Picasso for the UK market called Code, which will replace the Blackcherry special edition. The car is based on the most successful model of the range, the HDi 90 manual VTR+ version, therefore it will have the same 90 hp 1.6-litre diesel engine under the bonnet, a unit that boasts an average fuel consumption of 4.6 lt/100km and CO2 emissions of just 120 g/km.

The Citroen C3 Picasso Code special edition will come with air conditioning, curtain airbags, cruise control, Bluetooth and USB connectivity as standard equipment whereas 17 ” alloy wheels, chrome lower bumper inserts, black-chrome door handles, black painted bumpers and longitudinal roof bars will be available as optional extras. There will be four body colour options to choose from: Polar White, Cherry Red, Belle Ile Blue and Thorium Grey.

What an amazing discovery! Just like learning how to drive again when the instructor would sometimes slam on the brake without notice, the conversion of the Citroen C3 Picasso from left-hand to right-hand drive has sparked a recall on the UK market.

The brake cable was transferred from one side of the car to the other, but it has since been discovered that in doing so, passengers can do the braking as well. It was probably a funny idea until someone actually found this out. Recalled models will now be fitted with a new brake isolator to prevent unpleasant misadventures in the hedgerows.

The new Citroen C3 Picasso has some great personality, and should find its own niche. The people mover will debut at the Paris show, and is 4.08 metres long with luggage space at a minimum of 500 litres.

The engine range will include a 1.4 litre Vti at 95hp, and a 1.6 litre Vti at 120hp. Diesel options include 1.6 litre HDI at 90hp and 110hp. Emissions aren’t bad with those of the petrol engine at less than 160g/km and the diesel at less than 130g.

And with a touch of the brush, here is Picasso. Here, we’re talking the cubism era in the lines of a surreal motorcar, innovative in its anti-conformism. Citroen presents its C3 multispace, newly baptised as the Spanish painter.

The lines seem to forget the roundness of the people mover, to adopt a symmetry similar to the Berlingo, and especially to the working model of the Nemo. The platform is also quite innovative, destined for the next C3 and coming from the Peugeot 207. Despite this, no information has yet been released on the mechanics of the car, although we can maybe bet on the range of engines composed of the petrol 1.4 and 1.6, at 95 and 120 hp respectively, and on the 1.6 diesel which we should see in 90 and 110 hp versions.
