Citroën's new baby-MPV, the C3 Picasso, will make its public debut at the Paris Motor Show before its UK launch next year. It will have arrived in Malta by June 2009. The C3 will be the third Citroën to join the company's award-winning Picasso family.

With the Picasso's intuitive modular design, interior space is optimised quickly and simply. To increase either boot volume or rear legroom, the split-folding rear seats slide back and forth independently and can also be folded away with one effortless hand movement.

The cabin length measures 1.6 metres - one of the longest in its class and a rival for a number of MPVs in the segment above.

The C3 Picasso also features a removable boot floor, which can be positioned at two different levels and a host of practical storage solutions like nifty cubby holes, pen holders, non-slip surfaces and even a map holder.

The cabin places special attention on perceived quality, setting the MPV apart from its rivals, with ultra-soft dashboard surface materials, carefully considered decors and the layout of the premium graining.

As with the instrument cluster, the ergonomic and practical design of the controls enhances the driving experience with an easy-to-reach, dash-mounted gear stick and adjustable seat and steering wheel.
