2013 Citroen C3 Picasso Facelift at Paris 2012

Citroen has given the C3 Picasso a mild makeover for its home show in Paris this month. Goes on sale early 2013.

The Paris Motor Show is a big deal for all car makers, but more so for the French motor industry. Which is why we have a facelift for the Citroen C3 Picasso as Citroen tries to make sure it has as much new metal as possible to stick on its stand.

But it’s certainly too much of a fetch to call this a ‘new’ Picasso C3, and it’s also perhaps a breach of the Trade Descriptions Act to refer to it as a facelift, so minor are the changes.

In fact, the changes to the C3 Picasso are just about enough to make anyone who’s just bought a C3 Picasso curse, but not enough for the casual observer to notice any real difference.

There’s a mild reworking of the front bumper and a new grill treatment, LED running lights and some new colour options. Citron’s eMyWay Nav adds audio and Bluetooth connectivity and works with the reversing camera – but it’s an option.

Apart from that there’s seems to be nothing else new. Citroen has given no information on powertrains for the C3 Picasso Facelift, so we assume they’re carrying over from the current models, perhaps with a slight tweak on emissions.

The 2013 Citroen C3 Picasso Facelift goes on sale in early 2013.
