Citroen drops Picasso name for SpaceTourer

Citroen officially drops Picasso name for SpaceTourer

The large family car range is being renamed, with the Picasso name being dropped after 19 years in service.

Citroen is dropping the Picasso moniker that has been used on the C4 people carriers, and is replacing it with SpaceTourer to move in-line with the brand’s largest MPV.

The entire Citroen people carrier range now uses the same name to separate it from the rest of the line-up, as all three models use the same platform and technologies.

The Picasso name has been part of the brand’s culture since 1999, when the Xsara Picasso used it for the first time.

As well as a new name, the C4 SpaceTourer range also gains new equipment in the guide of the Safety Pack, which adds driver attention alert, speed sign recognition and active safety brake. Flair models gain this pack as standard.

Citroen also announced that the C4 SpaceTourer and Grand C4 SpaceTourer will get an eight-speed automatic transmission from June 1, which the French brand says improves comfort, economy and performance.

Prices for the newly-named SpaceTourer models start from £21,125 and the models are available to order now.
