Citroen C4 Picasso (2013-2018) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Surprising kerbside appeal for an MPV	Not as sharp to drive as a Ford C-Max
Airy and spacious interior	Citroen has a poor reputation for reliability
Low running costs, especially if you choose a diesel	Some rivals have longer warranties

Quick Summary

The Citroen C4 Picasso (2013-2018) is a stylish and practical five-seat MPV that challenged the notion that people carriers must be dull. With its distinctive exterior design and an airy, spacious interior, it offers a comfortable and family-friendly experience. The cabin provides ample space, especially in the rear with three equally sized, independent seats, and a generous 537-litre boot that expands to 1,851 litres with seats folded flat.

While it prioritises ride comfort over sporty handling, absorbing bumps well, its engines offer decent performance for family duties, with most variants achieving 0-62mph in around 10 seconds. Running costs are a major advantage, particularly for diesel models which can achieve 55-65mpg in real-world driving. Insurance groups are low, and Citroen offers affordable service plans, making it an economical choice for families.

Best for: Families prioritising style, comfort, practicality, and low running costs in an MPV.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking the most engaging driving experience or those for whom reliability is the absolute top priority.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the C4 Picasso if: You're a parent seeking a practical, stylish, and comfortable family car with low running costs.

Competitive Position: The Citroen C4 Picasso (2013-2018) stands out in the five-seat MPV segment for its unique blend of style, comfort, and practicality. It offers an appealing alternative to rivals, particularly with its spacious and flexible interior, and competitive running costs. While it may not match the Ford C-Max for driving dynamics or the Toyota Verso/Kia Carens for reliability, its overall package, especially its design and comfortable ride, makes it a strong contender for families seeking a well-rounded and economical people carrier.
