Detailed analysis of the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso HDi 135 FAP CMP Exclusive · 136 CV (2008-2009)
General description
The 2007 Citroën Grand C4 Picasso was not just an MPV; it was a statement of intent. Citroën reinvented family travel with a vehicle that felt like a spaceship, a rolling lounge where light and space were the true protagonists. It was a breath of fresh air in a segment that often prioritized function over emotion.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the predominant feeling is one of absolute comfort and enveloping panoramic visibility. The 136-horsepower HDi engine pushes smoothly and capably, ideal for long, stress-free journeys. The suspension masterfully filters out irregularities, creating a magic carpet ride. However, the automated manual gearbox (CMP) requires an adaptation period; its transitions are noticeable and detract from an otherwise supremely pleasant and relaxed experience.
Design and aesthetics
Its 'Visiospace' concept was revolutionary. The panoramic windshield extended almost over the heads of the front occupants, flooding the cabin with light and creating an unparalleled sense of freedom. Its thin A-pillars, central instrumentation, and fixed-hub steering wheel were details of a bold futurism that distinguished it from any other car on the road. It was, and still is, a car with an overwhelming personality.
Technology and features
For its time, it was at the forefront. The fully digital and centralized instrumentation seemed straight out of a science fiction movie. The steering wheel with fixed central controls concentrated an astonishing number of functions, from cruise control to the radio. It also incorporated an electric parking brake and an advanced climate control system, luxuries that defined its focus on comfort and life on board.
Competition
In the competitive universe of seven-seater MPVs, it faced titans like the Renault Grand Scénic, the Ford S-MAX, which offered a more dynamic touch, the sober and efficient Volkswagen Touran, and the versatile Opel Zafira. Against them, the C4 Picasso played the card of radical design and supreme comfort.
Conclusion
The Grand C4 Picasso is more than a car; it's a travel experience. A haven of light and comfort designed to make every journey a pleasure for the whole family. Although its automated gearbox was not its best feature, its design audacity, incredible interior space, and ride comfort make it an unforgettable vehicle and a very special option for those who value well-being over pure performance.
