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 that prioritises practicality and versatility above all else. With a wide range of seating configurations, it offers exceptional flexibility for large families. The front passenger seat folds flat for longer loads, whilst the three individual middle-row seats fold, slide, and recline independently with Isofix points. Two rear seats can be folded into the floor individually, creating a van-like 2,181 litres of boot space when fully configured. This makes it one of the most practical family cars available, whether purchased new or used.

Driving dynamics are underwhelming, with light steering lacking feel and a tall body that leans on soft suspension during spirited cornering. However, the ride is generally comfortable, though it can be thumpy on poor surfaces. Two engine options are available: a 1.2-litre PureTech 130 petrol and a 1.5-litre BlueHDi 130 diesel, both producing 129bhp. The diesel is more efficient, delivering 50-55mpg in real-world use, whilst the petrol achieves around 40mpg. Both come with a six-speed manual or optional eight-speed automatic. Running costs are reasonable, though timing belt replacement (every five years for diesel, six for petrol) is expensive at over £500.

Best for: Large families needing maximum space and seating flexibility, those prioritising practicality over driving dynamics, and buyers seeking a comfortable, airy interior for passenger comfort.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking engaging handling or sporty performance, 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 needing maximum space and seating flexibility, prioritising practicality over driving dynamics, or seeking a comfortable, airy interior for passenger comfort.

Consider alternatives if: You seek engaging handling or sporty performance, are concerned about reliability, or want the latest technology and LED headlights as standard.

Competitive Position: The Citroën Grand C4 SpaceTourer is a highly practical seven-seat MPV that excels in versatility and interior space. Whilst rivals like the Volkswagen Touran and Vauxhall Zafira Tourer score higher for expert ratings and overall appeal, the Grand C4 SpaceTourer boasts the highest user rating at 5.0 out of 5, reflecting strong owner satisfaction. However, its patchy reliability record and uninspiring driving dynamics are concerns. The Ford S-Max offers better handling, whilst the Volkswagen Touran provides superior build quality. For families prioritising space and practicality above all else, the Grand C4 SpaceTourer remains an excellent choice, though more reliable alternatives may be worth considering.
