Citroën Grand C4 Picasso MPV 1.6 THP 150 VTR+ EGS 5dr

For VTR+ adds some desirable kit to VTR, including alloy wheels and electric rear windows. Despite this engine being more powerful than the 1.6 VTi unit, it's actually more economical.

Against The engine isn't as flexible as the equivalent diesel engine, which is especially noticeable when travelling with a full load.

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

For similar money, we'd rather forego some of the VTR+ model’s extra equipment in favour of a diesel-engined version.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

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.
