DAILY EXPRESS AWARDS CITROËN’S C3 PICASSO ‘BEST FAMILY CAR’ HONOUR

C3

Citroën’s C3 Picasso has been named ‘Best Family Car’ of 2009 by the Daily Express’ Motoring team.

Seeing off competition from the Skoda Yeti to take the coveted ‘Motoring Oscar’, Citroën’s innovative MPV – the biggest small car on the road – impressed the judges with its compact, purposeful exterior, combined with plentiful internal storage and flexible seating arrangement.

This latest accolade comes at the end of a hugely successful year for the C3 Picasso, adding to five awards already under its belt from the likes of Auto Express, Top Gear and What Diesel.

The Daily Express, said, “The new C3 Picasso is a great family alternative to the new breed of cross-overs. Better still, it’s well built and excellent to drive too. Forget just winning in this category, the C3 Picasso was one of the best cars of 2009, period.”


HAVING A SWINGING TIME WITH THE NEW CITROËN C3

C3 Advert

Citroën’s latest TV advertisement – a fun film created for the launch of the new C3 – features the Company’s latest supermini having a ‘swinging’ time by the sea.

In the 60-second ad, a young couple sneak new C3 past a security guard and into a dockyard where they connect the car’s wheels to the cables of a shipping container crane – and then accelerate up into the air to create a giant swing.

Inside the cabin, the couple experience the extraordinary panoramic view through new C3’s unique Zenith windscreen – from a very original perspective.

New C3 is one of Citroën’s most fuel and CO2 efficient cars, and is the first production Citroën with a model emitting less than 99g/km of CO2. The sensational panoramic Zenith windscreen, which is 36% bigger than a conventional screen on an average five door small car, delivers an all-new motoring experience for drivers and passengers alike.

The TV advert airs from today – 14th December – and new C3 is ‘on sale’ from 15th January 2010, with prices starting at just £10,790 for the entry-level petrol model, rising to £16,140 for the range-topping 1.6HDi 110hp Exclusive.
