The Xsara Picasso has offered both petrol and diesel engines, paired with standard front wheel-drive and a manual or automatic gearbox.
The Xsara Picasso was built to be a practical family car. It has a well-thought-out configuration and offers several features that competitors don't have, such as individually folding rear seats, and under-seat storage.
Users appreciate both the diesel and petrol versions of the Xsara Picasso, with the 1.6-litre engine seeming to be the most popular. As the smallest engine offered, this provides superior fuel economy ratings without giving up too much power.
Even though it's a lower-cost car, there are some desirable options included on some used Xsara Picasso examples. It is possible to find cars with a sunroof and cruise control as additional extras.
Yes, the Xsara Picasso was built as an MPV to offer more flexibility for families. With the rear seats that slide, fold or can be removed, there's a lot of versatility in the Xsara Picasso. Also, it has a large boot that can hold gear for a weekend away.
No, Citroen has not manufactured a hybrid version of the Xsara Picasso. However, there are several different petrol and diesel options, some with efficiency ratings reaching up to 55mpg, so it can go long distances on a tank of fuel.
Yes, there have been some Xsara Picasso models made with an automatic gearbox, but they aren't as popular as the manual transmission. The manual gearbox is also the cheaper of the two, helping owners to save more money.
Because of its smaller size and its purpose, the Xsara Picasso never came with four-wheel drive. All models were built with standard front-wheel drive, which is more than enough capability for everyday driving in the city or on a motorway.
