Citroen 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 Citroen Grand C4 Picasso (2013-2020) is a stylish and highly practical seven-seater MPV designed with families in mind. This second-generation model significantly improved upon its predecessor, offering exceptional interior space thanks to its long wheelbase, high roof, and panoramic windscreen. Its clever design includes super-skinny windscreen pillars for excellent visibility, a versatile seating system with three individual sliding and reclining middle-row seats, and effortlessly deployed third-row seats that can accommodate adults for short trips. Even with all seven seats up, there's decent boot space, which expands considerably in five-seat mode, and all rear seats can fold flat for van-like versatility.

The Grand C4 Picasso prioritises comfort and quietness over sporty handling, featuring super-soft suspension that absorbs road imperfections well, making it ideal for urban and motorway driving. While its handling can feel a bit 'sloshy' on undulating roads due to body roll and light steering, it excels in town manoeuvrability. Standard equipment is generous, even on entry-level 'Touch' models, including 16-inch alloys, dual-zone climate control, and an infotainment system. Running costs are reasonable, with many diesel models offering 50-60mpg on longer runs and petrol engines around 50mpg. Fixed-price servicing and competitive insurance groups add to its affordability.

Best for: Families needing ample space and versatility, those prioritising comfort and a quiet ride, budget-conscious buyers looking for generous standard equipment.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking engaging handling dynamics or a sportier driving experience.
