You get alloy wheels, velour seats, climate control, electronic stability programme, electronic brake assist, cruise control and lumbar adjustment for both front seats, which, incidentally, will fold flat as in a Honda Civic, once you remove the head restraints. The other similarity to the Civic, but curiously to no other small MPV, is a completely flat floor which allows the driver to easily slide across and get out of the nearside front door, or walk between the front seats to sort out the kids in the back.
Somehow they’ve made it drive much better than any other Picasso. Handling is neat, tidy controlled and grippy at the front. Perhaps it’s the power. Perhaps it’s the gear ratios. Perhaps it’s the added control from being able to left-foot brake.
