Citroën Grand C4 Picasso (2013-2020) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Brilliant cabin, with space for seven and lots of clever features	Not as fun to drive as a Ford S-Max
Soft suspension delivers a comfortable ride	Steering is overly light and remote
Good looking for an MPV	Some owners report electrical faults

Quick Summary

The Citroën Grand C4 Picasso (2013-2020) is an exceptionally practical seven-seater MPV that prioritises family comfort and versatility. The second-generation model, which received a facelift in 2016 and was renamed the SpaceTourer in 2018, features an intelligently designed interior with a panoramic windscreen, super-skinny pillars for excellent visibility, and a clever three-seat middle row that individually slides, reclines, and folds. The third-row seats stow neatly in the boot floor, and even with all seven seats deployed, there's still usable boot space. A flat floor throughout ensures plenty of legroom for all passengers.

Ride quality and quietness are prioritised over handling, with a soft suspension that absorbs bumps effectively on motorways and urban roads, though body roll is noticeable on winding country roads. Engine options include a 1.6-litre BlueHDi 100 diesel (road tax exempt pre-April 2017), a 2.0 BlueHDi, and a 1.2-litre PureTech petrol. Real-world fuel economy ranges from 40-60mpg depending on driving conditions and engine choice. Running costs are reasonable, with fixed-price servicing available from £175 for interim services. Even base Touch trim models come well equipped with climate control, cruise control, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Best for: Families needing maximum space and practicality, those prioritising comfort and quietness, and buyers seeking a stylish seven-seater MPV with excellent versatility.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking engaging handling or spirited performance, those who prefer responsive steering, or buyers concerned about potential electrical issues reported by some owners.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Grand C4 Picasso if: You need maximum space and practicality for a growing family, prioritise comfort and quietness over handling, or seek a stylish seven-seater with excellent versatility and clever interior design.

Consider alternatives if: You value engaging driving dynamics and responsive steering, or prefer a more premium feel and higher expert ratings like the Seat Alhambra or Ford S-Max.

Competitive Position: The Citroën Grand C4 Picasso is an excellent family MPV that excels in practicality, space, and comfort. Whilst the Seat Alhambra edges ahead with a perfect expert rating and slightly better value proposition, and the Ford S-Max offers more engaging handling, the Grand C4 Picasso remains a highly sensible choice for families prioritising interior versatility and a relaxed driving experience. Its stylish design, intelligent seating system, and reasonable running costs make it a compelling proposition in the seven-seater market, particularly for budget-conscious buyers seeking maximum practicality without compromise.
