For Exclusive is the most lavish trim, equipped with pneumatic rear suspension, parking sensors and the Boot and Comfort Plus packs. This engine is powerful and economical for a 1.6-litre petrol.
Against The engine isn’t as flexible as one of the diesel alternatives, which is especially noticeable when the car is fully loaded. While crammed with luxury goodies, Exclusive models are expensive.
For the same money, we'd rather forego some of the more lavish equipment in favour of a diesel-engined version.
There's a lot to like about the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso. From its bang-up-to-date looks and well-thought-out cabin design to fine diesel engines and seven seats that can all be slid back and forth to vary kneeroom, the Grand Picasso is a good bet for families who need plenty of space and versatility.
The third row of seats is best reserved for children due to a shortage of legroom, but the boot behind can still cope with a couple of Saturday morning kit bags.
The 1.6- and 2.0-litre engines are reasonable for economy, but the diesel engines make more sense and will be much easier to sell on in the used market. The diesels also provide much prompter mid-rev response, although the manual gearbox has a notchy, vague shift. The automatic gearbox has a jerky action as it moves between gears, so is best avoided.
