Citroen to Launch Refreshed C3 Picasso Mini MPV at Paris Auto Show

Since its introduction in 2008 at the Paris Motor Show, Citroen has sold more than 320,000 units of its C3 Picasso. The French carmaker has decided that it’s time to upgrade its mini MPV and has chosen the same venue for its world debut.

Changes in the "new" C3 Picasso are mostly cosmetic to bring it in line with the rest of the carmaker’s range.

Citroen wants to gain a chunk of the popular supermini segment in Brazil with an updated version of its C3 hatchback, which features some styling and mechanical differences over its European sibling.

These include the French brand's newly designed front grille encompassing the double-chevron logo, a new front bumper with a reshaped lower grille and LED daytime running lights, while the interior sports round instead of rectangular air vents on the center console.

Almost three years after launch, Citroën has given its second-generation C3 supermini a lite makeover.

Sources claim that these pictures were released by Citroën Brazil, but we wouldn't be surprised if most styling tweaks pass on to the European model, which could debut as early as the Paris Motor Show in September.
