New C4
Picasso Unveiled! |
|
All new Citroen C4
Picasso will go on sale this summer
The 2013 Citroen C4 Picasso has been unveiled; the all-new five-seat MPV
was previewed by the Citroen Technospace concept car that made its debut
at the Geneva motor show last month, and will go on sale this summer.
The C4 Picasso has a bold new look, especially at the front of the
car, where slim LED running lights are positioned above the
headlights. The new model is the first Citroen to be based on the
new EMP2 platform – it will eventually be used for a wide range of
models.
Features of the new platform include a reduced front overhang, lower
floor and wider tracks. At 443cmm long and 161cm high, the
Technospace is slightly shorter and lower than the C4 Picasso; it
has a 6cm longer wheelbase, however, and boot space has increased by
40 litres to 537 litres.
Thanks to the use of aluminium and
high-strength steel in its construction, and an aluminium bonnet and
composite tailgate, the new C4 Picasso is up to 140kg lighter than
the previous model.
The C4 Picasso has a "loft-style
cabin," with a large glass area and
panoramic windscreen that "bathe the
cabin in light". The dashboard is
dominated by two screens – a 7in
touch-screen that controls most
functions and a 12in information
screen.
Full specifications are yet to be
revealed, but it has been confirmed
that the new C4 Picaso will go on
sale this summer. A longer,
seven-seat Grand C4 Picasso, which
is likely to get an updated version
of the current model's fold-flat
seats, will follow shortly after.
To be kept up to date with the
launch news of this exciting new
model, please call our Sales team on

Citroens latest concept car - Introducing Numero 9...
Just two years after its launch, the DS line has already notched up

Luffield Citroen team celebrate Customer Service success |
| The After Sales Service team at Luffield Cars, the Citroen dealership on
Belton Road in Loughborough, are celebrating in style after winning a
£1000 prize at Citroen Dealer of the Year Awards. Luffield Cars were runners up in the
Dealer of the Year award
for the UK Central region, Large Dealer Category for After Sales service
and received a “Highly Commended” Award status.
“The results were based on customer satisfaction
research,” says Service Manager,
Neil Offler, “so the award is
based on a lot of hard work and represents brilliant recognition of the
Luffield team’s effort. Over the seven years that many of us have been
working together, we’ve built up some strong relationships with our
customers and we know that this works – for them and also for the
friends and family that they recommend to us too.”
The After Sales team’s work includes putting together offers and
deals that encourage not only Citroen owners but also other local car
owners to use their services. “At the moment,
we’re offering things like a lubrication service for under £90 and half
price MOTs when they’re done in tandem with selected Luffield services,”
says Neil. “The
other key seasonal service, now that the worst of the bad weather is
done, is to check out air conditioning systems and make sure that
they’re working well. Air con can increase fuel consumption which, with
prices as they are, is no joke. For only £55, including the VAT, our
customers can be sure that their air con is working efficiently and
ready for summer.”
David Wood, the owner of the Luffield Cars dealership said:
“ It is great that the hard work of our
AfterSales team has been recognised by Citroen nationally and
appreciated by Loughborough customers and we need to keep up that level
of service and make sure that we’re the first choice for our customers,
our main mission statement when we started the business 10 years ago
stated …‘To offer Quality products at a reasonable price - offer
value for money - and provide excellent customer service’ ……
and it’s tremendous to see that we are able to succeed
with the task we set ourselves.” |

useful new technologies
- some of which are unique to the segment. These include a new
blind-spot monitoring system, a cornering light function, cruise
control and speed-limiter with road speed memory settings, and an
innovative new service called eTouch.
As well as offering on-board
emergency assistance, Citroën’s eTouch system enables drivers to monitor
their driving patterns and fuel consumption, and receive advice on how
to improve their fuel economy. The system also allows drivers to
consult their vehicle’s technical status and monitor any necessary
maintenance or servicing requirements.
Release 5th January 2011 |
Designed to be an environmentally respectful family
car, New C4 uses
the latest Citroën technology to reduce its environmental impact. New
C4 will be available with Citroën’s new micro-hybrid e-HDi powertrains,
which feature the latest generation Stop & Start system that helps
deliver CO2 emissions as low as 109g/km at
launch - and 99g/km on future models. Michelin Energy™ Saver tyres are
also specified to help achieve these low emissions
and to boost fuel economy. The control of the car’s overall weight - in
spite of the increased dimensions and added equipment - has been
achieved using new technologies, such as laser welding, in the model’s
construction. The use of 15% ‘green’ materials - for example, re-cycled
polyamide components - also enhances New C4’s environmental credentials.
