Citroën Grand C4 Picasso MPV 1.6 THP 155 Exclusive EGS 5dr Review

For Despite this engine being more powerful than the 1.6 VTi unit, it's actually more economical. Exclusive is the most lavish trim on a Grand C4 Picasso.

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

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 be slid back and forth to vary kneeroom, the Grand Picasso is a good bet for families who need plenty of space and versatility.

There’s still a bit of boot space with all seven seats in place, and most of them can be dropped to give a huge, flat loadbay.

The 1.6- and 2.0-litre engines are reasonable for economy (particularly the eHDi unit that comes with a stop/start system), 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. The automatic gearbox has a jerky action as it moves between gears, so is best avoided.
