For The alloy wheels on the VTR+ give the car a sportier look than cheaper versions, while the 2.0-litre turbodiesel is punchy and refined.
Against Despite its extra power, the 2.0-litre diesel's performance is similar to the smaller 1.6's due the larger engine's automatic gearbox. Economy is worse.
The semi-automatic gearbox is appealing if you spend a lot of time in town traffic and the 2.0-litre diesel is a good match for it. Cheaper models are better value, though.
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.
