CITROËN is adding to its MPV range with the launch of the striking seven-seat C4 Picasso, pictured here for the first time.

Due to make its international debut at September’s Paris Motor Show before going on sale in the UK early next year, the C4 Picasso will be sold alongside the existing five-seater Xsara Picasso model.

Power will come from either a 143bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine or 110bhp or 140bhp versions of the HDi turbodiesel unit.
