Tell your friends: Share on VKontakte Share on Odnoklassniki The premiere of the Citroen Xsara Picasso took place in 1999. At the same time, sales of the car began. The front-wheel drive minivan is based on a modified Citroen Xsara base. The car was offered in two trim levels: SX and Exclusive with three engines. The most powerful of the engines - a 115-horsepower 1.8-liter unit accelerated the car to 187 km / h. The car was distinguished by the largest trunk among cars in its class - 550 liters; with the rear seats folded down, the luggage compartment capacity increased to 1970 liters. In 2000, the Citroen Xsara Picasso underwent a facelift, receiving changes in appearance, interior and engine lineup. In 2003, the car was optionally equipped with a stability control system, cruise control and ASR traction control. In addition, the new car received a 2-liter gasoli citroen xsara picasso ne engine with a capacity of 132 horsepower. In 2006, the car was replaced by the Citroen C4 Picasso model, built on the Citoen C4 platform. However, the car was not discontinued. Sales of the Citroen Xsara Picasso in Russia ceased in 2010. . Compact vans take up no more space on the road than golf-class models (4.2-4.5 m), but due to the high body they are much more spacious. And if you remember about the possibility of transforming the interior, it becomes clear: compact vans are the most practical small format cars. In total, there are nine models of this class on our market. Today, compact vans are represented in the model range of most of the world's automakers. It is simply impossible to consider them all in one review, so we will limit ourselves to European brands, more precisely, French and Italian, since it was with them that the offensive of miniature minivans began (besides, brands from Germany deserve a separate discussion). These are Renault Scenic (1999-2003), Citroen Xsara Picasso and Fiat Multipla, produced from 1999 to 2004. All cars with high five-door bodies. Four-cylinder engines - gasoline and turbodiesel. Gearboxes are mostly five-speed manual. The microvan sector was launched ten years ago with the Renault Scenic, which became an instant European bestseller. Soon, almost all automakers in the world began to produce cars of this type, and the market niche of microminivans increased significantly ... At first, Russians were reluctant to buy vans based on golf-class models. However, the situation has changed. Now such machines occupy a considerable share in the total sales volume. It is not for nothing that automobile companies are bringing more and more microminivans to our market. When the first microvan "Renault Scenic" appeared in 1996, no one imagined that the niche opened by the French would be so capacious. The task of selling several tens of thousands of Scenics a year was exceeded many times over. Not surprisingly, microvans soon appeared in the ranges of almost all automakers .. What caused such a success? A combination of properties that millions of motorists appreciate. In terms of driving performance, comfort and efficiency, microminivans do not differ from golf-class models, on the platform of which they are usually made. A high ceiling, a spacious interior (in any case, more spacious compared to hatchbacks of similar length and width) and the ability to transform the interior came from the world of minivans. Even in our country, where utility in cars is not very appreciated, the popularity of microminivans is growing rapidly. It's no joke: some representatives of the newly appeared sales class are already overtaking other golf models! Today, seven microminivans are offered in the salons of official Russian dealers. Do you have anything to tell future buyers of this model? Share your thoughts! Good and reliable car. A real family car. Many thanks to the French auto industry for a reliable car, flew off the road on ice, rolled over twice, no one was hurt! Who saw this "somersault" unanimously said: -lucky that the car is not Russian-made! Once again, I thank the company "Citroen"!!! https://cars45et.com/listing/citroen/xsara_picasso
