Citroen's C4 Picasso and Grand Picasso MPVs have undergone a small touch-up, with revised styling and a realigned range.

In addition to LED front running lights, the Picasso models get a new double chevron Citroën logo on the aluminium wheel covers or alloy wheels, steering wheel cushion, bonnet and tailgate. There are also black surrounds for the revised rear lights.

The two derivatives now share the same style front bumper, which is the one fitted to the previous model five-seater Picasso

All models are powered by Citroen's VTi 120 motor, which produces 88kW and 160Nm, power transferred to the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. According to Citroen it'll sprint from 0-100km/h in just over 12 seconds and sip just 6.9 l/100km on the combined cycle.

The five-seat Picasso model is available in two versions: Attraction and Seduction, while the Grand Picasso is available only as a Seduction. The former is equipped with air conditioning, an MP3-compatible audio system as well as front, side and curtain airbags and an electronic stability programme.

The Seduction model adds dual zone climate control as well as USB and Bluetooth connectivity among other items.

PRICING:

Picasso:

VTi 120 Attraction - R229 900

VTi 120 Seduction - R244 900

Grand Picasso:

VTi 120 Seduction - R254 900

Prices include a three-year/100 000km warranty and five-year/100 000km service plan - a maintenance plan is optional.

We had the old one. Presently I am driving a C4. Just bought one for my wife as well. I will definitely get the new Picasso.

Pathetic Engine for such a big, heavy car. The Peugeot 5008 launched this week is a far better alternative
