Detailed analysis of the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso THP 150 CMP Premier · 150 CV (2008-2009)
General description
The 2007 Citroën Grand C4 Picasso was not just a minivan; it was a statement of intent. At a time when families demanded space without sacrificing style, Citroën responded with a spaceship for everyday life, a vehicle that promised to turn every journey into a bright and panoramic experience, redefining the concept of traveling together.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the 150 HP THP engine offers an energetic and surprising response for a vehicle of its size, with generous thrust from low revs that is appreciated in the city. However, the experience is marred by the CMP automated manual transmission. Its slow and sometimes jerky shifts break the magic of what is otherwise a superbly comfortable drive. The suspension filters out irregularities with exquisite smoothness, true to Citroën's tradition, making long journeys a real pleasure, as long as you get used to the particular rhythm of its gearbox.
Design and aesthetics
Design is its soul and its greatest selling point. The 'Visiospace' concept floods the cabin with light thanks to a panoramic windshield that extends to the roof and a huge glass surface. Sitting inside is like being in a rolling viewpoint. On the outside, its fluid and futuristic lines broke the mold, while the interior, with its central digital instrumentation and fixed-hub steering wheel, transported you to a vision of the automotive future that only Citroën dared to imagine.
Technology and features
For its time, the Grand C4 Picasso was a technological showcase. The fully digital and customizable instrumentation was a fascinating novelty, centralizing all information in a clear and modern way. The electric parking brake, hill start assist, and the automated manual gearbox with paddle shifters sought to simplify life on board, although the execution of the latter was not perfect. It was a car designed to make the driver and passengers feel in an advanced and comfortable environment.
Competition
In the competitive universe of seven-seater minivans, it faced titans like the Renault Grand Scénic, the Ford S-MAX, or the Volkswagen Touran. While its rivals opted for German sobriety or more dynamic handling, the C4 Picasso played in its own league: that of absolute comfort, intelligent modularity, and an avant-garde design that made it a passionate choice, different from everything else.
Conclusion
The Citroën Grand C4 Picasso THP 150 is a car you either love or hate, but it never leaves you indifferent. It is the perfect choice for those who value space, light, and exceptional ride comfort above all else. Its design is still special, and its cabin is a functional work of art. However, it is a purchase that requires awareness of its weak points: a frustrating gearbox and mechanical reliability that, in this specific engine, has proven to be delicate. It is a vehicle with a huge heart and a unique character, but it requires patience and rigorous maintenance.
