CITROËN has been at pains to point out the virtues of its five-seater Picasso, in the wake of acclaim for the car's big brother, the seven-seater Grand C4 Picasso.

The five-seater C4 Picasso is packed full of five-seater firsts, with a parking space measurement system, hill start assistance, an automatic electric parking brake, an air quality sensor, and even a scented air freshener.

A Lane Departure Warning System, self-levelling suspension and paddleshift gearchange are all available, many as standard.

Prices run from £14,495.
