Scoop: New Citroën C4 Grand Picasso 7-Seater MPV Makes its First Appearance

For the past few years, Citroën has covered the mainstream compact MPV market in Europe and other parts of the world with two variations of its C4-based Picasso, the regular five-seater model and the longer seven-seater Grand Picasso.

This won't change with the next generation of the C4 Picasso that will continue to offer buyers a choice of two different body styles.

We've already scooped the five-seater model and now our spies have captured the first photos of the larger and more spacious C4 Grand Picasso while undergoing hot weather testing in Europe.

Scoop: New Citroen C4 Picasso MPV Filmed Testing in Spain

Engineers continue to test the new generation of the Citroen C4 Picasso, a prototype of which was snapped on camera in Spain ahead of a sales launch early next year.

The car seen here is wearing heavy camouflage but it looks like the French firm's designers have gone for a more hunkered down appearance and less egg-shaped silhouette than the current model.

Spied: Next Citroen C4 Picasso Minivan

Not long ago, we reported on the forthcoming, next generation of the Citroen C4 Picasso, which was scooped while undergoing winter testing in Europe. Now, our spies have caught up with two more prototypes of the French firm's popular compact minivan series.

Citroen Debuts New C-Elysee and C4 L Compact Sedans

Citroën is targeting the world's most populous automotive segment, the compact saloon market with some 20 million registrations in 2011 or close to a third of all worldwide passenger car sales, with not one but two new models, the C-Elysée and C4 L.

As you may have already guessed by now, the C-Elysée is the Citroën flavored version of Peugeot's budget compact sedan, the newly announced 301, with the two cars sharing the same body but bespoke fasicas, wheels and tail lamps.

The French brand says the C-Elysée will be manufactured in Spain and will be sold in Turkey, Spain, Central Europe and Algeria before the end of 2012.

The sedan model rides on a 2.65m long wheelbase and has large boot capacity of 506 litres. Depending on the market, the C-Elysée will be available with the latest generation VTi 97bhp petrol engine.
