End of the road for the Xsara Picasso

After more than 10 years on sale in the UK  - and with over 270,000 examples sold - Citroën UK has stopped importing the Xsara Picasso.

The Xsara Picasso was the best-selling retail multi-purpose vehicle in the UK.

The model was popularised by a long-running TV advertising campaign that featured mischievous and artistically-talented production line robots.

Building on the model's success, Citroën has expanded the Picasso range in January 2007 with the arrival of the larger 7-seat Grand C4 Picasso - followed by the 5-seat C4 Picasso later that spring.

In 2009, Citroën launched the C3 Picasso, more than 12,000 examples of which have already sold in the UK.
