Citroën Grand C4 SpaceTourer (2018-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of space	Not great to drive
Very versatile seats	Patchy reliability record
Smart interior	Ride can be unsettled

Quick Summary

The Citroën Grand C4 SpaceTourer is a seven-seat MPV designed for large families seeking maximum versatility and practicality. With an impressive array of seating configurations, it offers exceptional flexibility: the front passenger seat folds flat for longer loads, the three individual middle-row seats fold, slide, and recline independently with Isofix points, and the rear two seats fold into the floor. Boot space ranges from 632 litres with all seats in use to a cavernous 2,181 litres with all rear seats folded, making it one of the most practical family cars available.

The Grand C4 SpaceTourer is powered by either a 1.2-litre PureTech 130 petrol or 1.5-litre BlueHDi 130 diesel engine, both producing 129bhp, with six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission options. The diesel achieves 50-55mpg in real-world use, whilst the petrol manages around 40mpg. The ride is comfortable thanks to soft suspension, though handling is uninspiring and the steering lacks feel. The interior is airy and well-equipped on entry-level Sense trim, though the dated touchscreen interface is frustratingly sluggish. Servicing costs are reasonable, though timing belt replacements are expensive at over £500. Reliability concerns are a notable drawback compared to some rivals.

Best for: Large families prioritising space and versatility, those needing flexible seating configurations, and buyers seeking a practical seven-seater for everyday use.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking engaging handling or dynamic driving experience, those concerned about reliability, or buyers wanting the latest technology and LED headlights.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Grand C4 SpaceTourer if: You're a large family prioritising space and versatility, need flexible seating configurations, or seek a practical seven-seater for everyday use.

Consider alternatives if: You value engaging handling, require strong reliability, or want the latest technology and premium features as standard.

Competitive Position: The Citroën Grand C4 SpaceTourer is a highly practical seven-seater offering exceptional versatility and space for large families. Whilst it trails rivals like the Volkswagen Touran and Ford S-Max in driving dynamics and reliability, its superior interior flexibility and competitive pricing make it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers. The Touran and S-Max offer better overall refinement and dependability, whilst the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer provides a more affordable alternative. For families prioritising practicality over driving experience, the Grand C4 SpaceTourer remains a sensible choice.
