Citroen to debut C4 Grand Picasso at the Gadget Show live.

• New Grand C4 Picasso will make its UK premiere at The Gadget Show Live @ Christmas
• Show runs from 1-3 November at Earls Court, London

The New Citroën Grand C4 Picasso will make its UK public premiere on the Citroën stand at The Gadget Show Live @ Christmas from Friday 1 - Sunday 3 November. Visitors to the show will be able to ‘discover the world inside’ Citroën’s brand new 7-seat MPV, which offers class-leading versatility, space and economy.

Befitting its debut at The Gadget Show Live, the New Grand C4 Picasso is packed with convenient and innovative technologies such as dual display screens - a 7” touchscreen and a customisable 12” panoramic HD screen - which are a stylish and smart way of keeping users connected and in control.

There is also ‘360° vision’, an exclusive feature in the segment, that gives the driver a bird’s eye view of the area around the car through the integrated 12” HD screen on the dashboard. To make parking even easier customers can also benefit from ‘Park Assist’, which provides automatic assistance when manoeuvring into a tight parking space, whether parallel parking or reversing straight back. There is even the option of a motorised front passenger footrest and massaging front-seats as luxurious technological touches.

Designed with the modern family in mind, the sleeker, more dynamic next-generation New Grand C4 Picasso - which will be launched in the UK in January 2014 - offers sophisticated styling with ground-breaking proportions. Carrying up to seven people across three rows of seats, the model also offers the widest boot in the class.

Thanks to a new lighter platform, improved aerodynamics and optimised engines, the New Grand C4 Picasso is able to deliver class-leading CO2 emissions - from just 98g/km - and 74.3mpg combined cycle fuel economy.

Citroën’s show stand will also display a DS5 Hybrid4, a DS3 and an augmented reality display of DS3 Cabrio.

New Fiat 500L MPW on sale now in the UK, not a pretty car this one.

• New FIAT 500L MPW has arrived in UK showrooms
• Available in 5-seat and 5+2-seat* configurations
• Most compact 5+2-seat* people carrier in the segment
• Two trim levels, four engines and
• 7 body colours and 9 bicolour combinations
• Prices start from £15,795 OTR for the 500L 1.4 Pop Star

Following the successful launch of the FIAT 500L in March and the 500L Trekking in June, the newest member of the 500L range now goes on sale in the UK: The new FIAT 500L MPW.

The 500L MPW is the perfect expression of FIAT’s know-how in making space-efficient cars with a twist - combining the charm and agility of the FIAT 500 with the comfort and contents of a C-segment car and the space and the versatility of a people carrier.

In either five-seat or optional 5+2-seat* configuration, the FIAT 500L MPW offers two compelling packages: As a five-seat vehicle the FIAT 500L MPW is a credible alternative to a traditional C-segment estate, combining exceptional roominess and comfort with an impressive load capacity of 638 litres and all within a footprint at least 20cm shorter overall.

As a people carrier it is the most compact 5+2-seater* in its segment, measuring just 4,352mm in length, 1784mm in width and 1,667mm in height, while still offering the same kind of load-carrying versatility of the five-seat version when its rearmost seats are folded flat and stored neatly under the boot the floor.

The new Fiat 500L MPW will be offered in two trim levels: Pop Star and Lounge. Equipment highlights on the Pop Star version include air conditioning, cruise control, 16-inch alloy wheels, a 5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Uconnect, six airbags, a full suite of stability and traction control safety systems as well as rear parking sensors.

The Lounge version builds on the Pop Star’s high specification level by adding rear electric windows, front fog lights, dual-zone automatic climate control, automatic headlamps, rain sensors,
front seats with seat back tables and storage nets, an electro-chromatic rear view mirror, rear privacy glass, floor mats and an electric glass sunroof.

The new FIAT 500L MPW engine range consists of four power plants: The 95hp 1.4-litre petrol (5-seat only); the 105hp 0.9 TwinAir petrol; the 85hp 1.3 MultiJet (also available with the Dualogic automatic transmission) and the 105hp 1.6-litre MultiJet. A total of 9 different colour choices are available, plus a variety of contrasting roof and mirror colour combinations, as well as a range of alloy wheels in different sizes, styles and colours.

Prices for the FIAT 500L MPW start at £15,795 for the 1.4 Pop Star while the 7-seat versions start at £17,990 for either the TwinAir 105hp Pop Star or 1.3 MultiJet 85hp Pop Star.
