4.0. Review. The C4 Grand Picasso was the best value for money family MPV in its class compared with its peers. Very comfortable ride and quiet without much of the diesel clatter in the cabin. Leather seats are also very well supported and there are many well placed cubby holes for storage.
The Grand C4 Picasso's sole engine is the new BlueHDi 110kW/370Nm 2.0-litre unit, which produces max torque between 2000-2500rpm, can accelerate to 100km/h in 10.2 seconds, and is rated at a class-leading 4.5L/100km combined. This last figure suggests a realistic open-road range of about 1222km from the 55-litre tank.
In short, it punches at, but not really beyond, its weight. The 1.6-litre petrol four-cylinder turbo produces 121kW/240Nm. (image credit: Matt Campbell) The Grand C4 Picasso is front-wheel drive, and uses a six-speed automatic transmission with a manual mode and paddle-shifters… yes, that seems unnecessary.
But I enjoyed flogging the C4 Picasso to join the Hume at Albury, then progressively into darkness for another 550km. Being a lifelong glare-o-phobe (my perpetual sunnies aren't just for looks!), I usually leave the Citroen's 'Zenith' slidey rooflining thingy all the way forward, but at night, having unlimited glass from cowl to hairline crown gave a stunning view of the stars in the sky.
In 2013 the French people-carrier got a makeover, with the second-generation Citroen C4 Picasso offering extra comfort and space as well as a state-of-the-art tech suite.
