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 excels at delivering space and versatility for families. 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 perfectly flat floor when seats are folded creates van-like versatility without removing any seats.

Comfort and quietness are prioritised over handling, with a soft suspension that absorbs road imperfections admirably and excellent noise suppression making long journeys pleasant. The 1.6-litre BlueHDi 100 diesel is road tax exempt if registered before April 2017, whilst real-world fuel economy ranges from 50-60mpg on longer runs. The turbocharged 1.2-litre PureTech petrol is better for frequent urban driving. Fixed-price servicing is available from Citroën, and insurance groups are competitive. Even base Touch trim is well equipped with climate control, cruise control, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Best for: Families needing maximum space and practicality, those prioritising comfort and ride quality, and buyers seeking a stylish and intelligent MPV design.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking engaging handling dynamics, those wanting responsive steering, or buyers concerned about potential electrical issues.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Grand C4 Picasso if: You're a family needing maximum space and practicality, prioritising comfort and ride quality, or seeking a stylish and intelligently designed MPV.

Consider alternatives if: You want engaging handling dynamics, responsive steering, or are concerned about potential electrical issues reported by some owners.

Competitive Position: The Citroën Grand C4 Picasso (2013-2020) is an outstanding choice in the seven-seater MPV market, offering exceptional practicality, clever design, and a comfortable ride. Whilst the Ford S-Max provides more engaging driving dynamics and the Seat Alhambra scores higher on expert ratings, the Grand C4 Picasso delivers superior interior versatility and user satisfaction. Its stylish design, excellent space utilisation, and soft suspension make it ideal for families prioritising comfort over performance. The Renault Grand Scenic offers similar practicality but with less user appeal. For budget-conscious families seeking maximum space and intelligent design, the Grand C4 Picasso represents excellent value.
