Naza Euro Motors Launches The Award-Winning Citroen Grand C4 Picasso
Naza Euro Motors has unveiled the award-winning Citroen Grand C4 Picasso in its Petrol variant. The MPV was first previewed in Malaysia in June last year. The following October saw the introduction of a now sold-out Diesel variant where it won in the MPV category at the NST-Maybank Car of the Year Awards 2014.
“Naza Euro Motors finished 2014 strong not only with a local Car of the Year victory for the Grand C4 Picasso but also recording over 110% sales growth compared to 2013.
“We will continue to ride on this wave of momentum by taking a step forward with the award-winning Citroen Grand C4 Picasso. According to MAA reports, MPVs are the second biggest sub-segment of the market in 2014 with a share of 16%. It is safe to say the Grand C4 Picasso will be our main volume driver,” said Dato’ Samson Anand George, Chief Operating Officer of Naza Euro Motors Sdn Bhd.
With equal opportunity in mind, the Grand C4 Picasso will be available to test-drive at all Citroen outlets nationwide on April 18 and 19.
Klang Valley residents can pop by the Grand C4 Picasso roadshow at MidValley Megamall running from April 16 to 19 for an up close and personal look at the multi award-winning MPV. They will also be treated to coffee served by the Mobile Citroen Parisian Café, a distinctive touch by Citroen.
