Citroen C4 Picasso awarded Golden Steering Wheel

Following an Autonis prize from Auto Motor und Sport magazine in September, the Citroen C4 Picasso - the Brand's 'Technospace' - has won yet another award in Germany - the Golden Steering Wheel.

The readers of Bild am Sonntag and Auto Bild, and those of a number of Auto Bild Group magazines in Europe, voted for their favourite car of 2013 from 49 candidates in six categories - Compact/City Car, Family Car, MPV, SUV, Large Saloon, and Coupe/Cabriolet. Automotive experts then chose the final winners.

Coming first in the MPV category, the Citroen C4 Picasso has four resounding strengths - strong and expressive styling, a loft-inspired interior, technologies for well-being, and ever more efficient engines. The car inaugurates a new Efficient Modular Platform 2 (EMP2) platform of PSA Peugeot Citroen Group, which enables a weight reduction of 140kg.

It's also the first vehicle to have the new BlueHDi engine that complies with the Euro 6 standard through its Selective Catalytic Reduction system - the only technology able to sharply reduce NOx emissions (by 90 percent) while cutting CO₂ emissions.
