Citroën Grand C4 Picasso MPV 1.6 VTR+ 5dr

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.

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

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 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.
