The panel of judges at the recently-held Scottish Car of the Year awards ceremony has highlighted certain Citroen parts.

Following the C3 Picasso’s win for best multi-purpose vehicle of the year, Association of Scottish Motoring Writers member Stephen Park remarked on the vehicle’s performance.

"We were particularly impressed by the 1.6HDi engine that provides strong, economical power and good overall performance," he said.

According to the manufacturer, it took the top spot in a category full of competitors such as the Renault Grand Scenic and the Kia Soul.

Citroen also said the prize was one of several garnered by the C3 Picasso so far this year – it also snagged honours from publications such as Fleet World, What Diesel and Top Gear.

The company may be looking at more success in the next few months, after launching its 100 per cent-electric city car in recent days.

Named the C-Zero, it is set to hit showrooms in the last quarter of next year.
