Used Citroen C3 Picasso for sale

Practical and spacious, the Citroen C3 Picasso has been a go-to for families ever since it was released in 2019. Citroen knows a thing or two about making MPVs, after all, and the Picasso name has been used to denote some of the most versatile models in its back catalogue.

The Citroen C3 Picasso at a glance

Outright versatility is what the C3 Picasso is all about. It’s why you’ll find so many family-focused features inside, such as hard-wearing plastics and seats which are easily to fold. The car’s relatively upright stance gives a clear and commanding view of the road ahead, too, and will be a welcome change to those used to conventional hatchbacks.

As you might expect from a Citroen, it’s also made to be easy to repair and economical to run. Today, the C3 Picasso is a common sight on the used market and it makes for an excellent pre-owned purchase, particularly if you’re looking for a car that’ll make family journeys a lot easier. 

Pros

  • Icon - tickLots of interior space and a well-sized boot
  • Icon - tickPlenty of glass means the cabin feels airy but there’s good visibility too
  • Icon - tickSmaller footprint means the Picasso isn’t too tricky to park 

Cons

  • Icon - crossInterior build quality isn’t the best
  • Icon - crossAutomatic gearboxes are jerky 
  • Icon - crossPetrol engines are quite thirsty

Hire Purchase (HP)

HP is a finance plan that allows you to spread the cost of the car by making monthly payments over an agreed term.

You make higher monthly payments than a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement, so that when you come to the end of the agreement you'll own the car.

Unlike PCP, there are no limits on mileage.

HP could be right for you if want to own the car at the end of the agreement, without the need to make a larger final payment.

  • What are the key safety features of the Citroen C3 Picasso?

    A family-focused car needs to be a safe one and in this area, the C3 Picasso does well. You’ve got good levels of adult and child occupant protection, though double-check to see which specification car you’re looking at - entry-level VT cars only got two airbags, whereas VTR+ models gained side airbags for better protection. A full electronic stability control system is included on all models, however. 

  • What engine options are available with the Citroen C3 Picasso?

    If you’re looking for petrol power, then the C3 Picasso is available with a 1.4- or 1.6-litre unit, with the latter providing extra punch - though neither is all that efficient. More popular are the diesels, which are both 1.6-litre but offered in two states of tune.

    You’ve also got the option of a manual gearbox, or an automated manual. The latter is akin to an automatic, but is quite jerky in operation. 

  • What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the Citroen C3 Picasso?

    Base cars are quite sparse in terms of standard features, with these cars getting a CD player, electric front windows and ISOFIX child seat points. They do, however, go without air conditioning, which is something most families will want. VTR+ cars are a better bet as they get air conditioning as well as alloy wheels, the aforementioned side airbags and cruise control. 

  • What is the fuel consumption of a Citroen C3 Picasso?

    You can expect to get between 35 and 40mpg from petrol-powered C3 Picasso cars, while the diesels offer a more efficient experience and should return up to 50mpg. 

  • What should I check for when buying a used Citroen C3 

    The C3 Picasso is pitched as a family car so, if you’re looking at a used one, we’d be checking the interior for damage and rips to the upholstery. You may want to check the doors for dings, too, as well as scratches along the boot sill caused by loading heavier items. Check out an AA Vehicle Inspection if you’re after a clearer picture of any used car you’re looking at. With it, you’ll get a full breakdown of any issues the car you’re considering the purchase of might be suffering from. 

  • Are Citroen C3 Picasso cars reliable?

    The Citroen C3 Picasso is a reasonably simple vehicle, so when well maintained it should prove reliable. It’s a good idea to go through and test all of the major features, too, including the powered wing mirrors and windows to ensure that they’re working as they should be. An AA Vehicle Inspection can help to take some of the guesswork away from buying a used car, too.
