For VTR+ adds some desirable kit on top of VTR spec, including alloy wheels and electric rear windows. Choosing a petrol engine rather than a diesel makes this a much cheaper car to buy.

Against The extras on VTR+ trim may be attractive, but they don't make the car any more practical. Plus, the petrol engine is not as punchy, flexible or frugal as the 1.6-litre diesel unit.

We think VTR+ is worth the extra over VTR, but our advice would be spend the extra money on a diesel engine rather than the 1.6-litre petrol with extra kit.

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.
