Concept shows shift from MPV to SUV.
Production C3 Picasso on sale in 2017.
THE conventionally styled people carrier is dying, and it looks like the Citroen C3 Picasso will be the latest model to transition from MPV to SUV.
Called the C-Aircross Concept, Citroen’s latest crossover will make its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The French brand is describing the car’s look as an “internationally oriented body style” – using the bold concept to announce its offensive on the European SUV segment.
It takes its styling cues from the new C3 hatchback, as well as the pumped-up C4 Cactus, and offers plenty of hints as to how the final car could look. The maker’s now synonymous Airbumps feature on the doors, while raised suspension and body cladding give it a distinctive SUV design. Scuff plates and roof bars offer added style, while the C3’s distinctive LED running lights and double chevron grille also feature.
