(ENG) Citroen Grand C4 Picasso 1.6 HDi - Test Drive and Review

Citroen knows how to make a minivan. The new C4 Picasso is practical, and stylish inside and out. And the Grand C4 Picasso adds even more practicality.

Merci merci !!! I'll have my new one tomorrow, I'm french and in the past i'd like VW, Peugeot, or others marks, but now, for this car with new options (prk assist, blind spot etc...) i am in "love" with Citroën :) :)

Dear Marek, The answer about the lost sliding element on the left belt mentioned at 7:51 is probably visible on the left belt about 10 cm from your right hand at 7:22. It must be movable so you can easily move it out of your way while the belt is touching passenger legs, while using the belt . Agree that such a rattling noise can kill the pleasure especially if you do not know what is the reason behind it .

[@ZerokillerOppel1]

Very good review! And your English is excellent! I have 1 question: what do you think of the position of the drive selector lever in the automatic version of this car?

[@Szuriamb]

Lubie Twoje testy ;)

[@MarekDrives]

I found the instructions on how to stow away the boot cover (page 133). I wouldn't have thought of that ;)

Thank you! Ordered a Black 1.6 Hdi after watching your review. We didn't get to test drive it. A mid spec one, or so they tell me. I would have rather paid for the Lodgy, but my wife wouldn't even consider it. Anyway, delivery of the vehicle is second week of September.

[@MarekDrives]

The Lodgy is... a pure motoring experience ;) The C4 Picasso adds a bit more finesse. Good luck with your new car. Let me know how you find once it arrives.

I love citroen❤❤❤

[@papavictorromeo5079]

It has the Honda Magic seats, but without the marketing.

[@nathanixslade]

[@magicstitchcanada]

[@Pixmig]

[@banpowel9784]

Just a question, you recently drove the new model Vauxhall’s insignia, How would you compare the insignia against the c4 Picasso? We are trying to decide which one to buy mainly for long distance trips

[@MarekDrives]

I'd say C4 is much more comfortable, but they are two different types of car.

[@bolevolisnezu]

Why is everyone saying that there is no place to put boot cover when you pop-up the third row when there is, just slide it in a slot behind the third row....they made it for that....why would else boot side have sliders-slots in first plays if not for boot cover... Great review btw, thx i enjoyed it.

[@IBIZABIKE]

Boot cover, if you do a review. DO YOUR HOMEWORK

[@frankfranklyn]

If the engine in this car performs the same way as it does in the 1.6 115BHP 4 seater, then I can safely say that I pity those who have to suffer the lack of torque in this motor. I've owned three of the first-generation Picasso's, all 1.6 115BHP, which could climb hills a LOT more easily than the new generation, same spec' engine. Dropping from 4th to 3rd whilst climbing a relatively shallow climb is not unusual whilst hitting a small incline on the motorway has me dropping from 5th to 4th because it drops speed and I find myself pulling over so that I don't block traffic.
That's a honest review from a c4 owner, and I can't wait to be rid of it :)

[@steliosieronymakis2480]

Would a 1,72m adult fit in the 3rd row?

[@MarekDrives]

For a while.

[@n.s.5278]

This or the Ford S-Max?

[@MarekDrives]

I don't know. I haven't driven the S-Max in 10 years.

[@n.s.5278]

@@MarekDrives thanks for the reply. Do you know about the reliability of C4 grand Picasso. For instance 2014-16. Do they hold up well?

[@dakar795]

The same dillema. I like ford, but grand c4 is little smaller and maybe cheaper

[@karolkarolowicz983]

Kajak :D:D:D:D

[@jeremycubs8331]

The Peugeot 5008 MK2 is just the better car imo

[@justsomedude1488]

French engineering is usually a no go.. but this one seems ok

[@RokitScientist1987]

can't say since I'd never buy a mpv

[@MarekDrives]

Because you don't like them, or you don't need one?

[@RokitScientist1987]

Marek Drives Well, both :)

[@foppo100]

RokitScientist1987 Why comment on something you don't need? Or don't want.>(:

[@adembajramov3539]

1.6 crappy engine
