Detailed analysis of the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso HDi 135 FAP CMP Exclusive · 136 CV (2009-2010)
General description
The 2007 Citroën Grand C4 Picasso was not just a minivan; it was a statement of intent. In a market full of practical but predictable options, Citroën opted to create a spaceship for the family, a vehicle where light, space, and comfort were not extras, but the very heart of the experience. This car invited you to travel in a different way, turning every journey into an opportunity to enjoy the scenery and the company.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the predominant sensation is that of floating over the asphalt. The suspension is calibrated for supreme comfort, absorbing irregularities with a smoothness that isolates you from the outside world. The 136-horsepower HDi engine moves the vehicle competently, without sporty pretensions, but with the necessary power to travel fully loaded. The CMP automated manual gearbox requires an adaptation period; it's not the fastest, but once you understand its rhythm, it contributes to a relaxed drive. The panoramic visibility offered by its immense windshield is simply spectacular, creating an unparalleled feeling of freedom and command of the road.
Design and aesthetics
Its design was a breath of fresh air. With its 'Visiospace' panoramic windshield that blends into the roof and its fluid, futuristic lines, the Grand C4 Picasso looked like a concept car that had hit the streets. Inside, the revolution continued with a minimalist dashboard, a central digital instrument cluster, and the famous fixed-hub steering wheel. The modularity of its seven seats and the incredible interior brightness created a rolling lounge atmosphere, a space designed to be lived in, not just for getting around.
Technology and features
For its time, the Grand C4 Picasso Exclusive was loaded with technology aimed at making life on board easier and more pleasant. From the automatic electric parking brake to the four-zone climate control or the parking sensors, everything was comfort-oriented. The centralized digital instrumentation, although it took some getting used to, offered a wealth of information clearly. Features like cruise control and the speed limiter were indispensable allies on long family trips.
Competition
In the competitive seven-seater minivan segment, it faced titans like the Renault Grand Scénic, the Ford S-MAX, and the Volkswagen Touran. While the S-MAX offered more dynamic handling and the Touran stood out for its sobriety and German build quality, the Citroën played in its own league: that of absolute comfort, bold design, and a sense of space and light that none of its competitors could match.
Conclusion
The Citroën Grand C4 Picasso is more than a family car; it's a travel experience. It is the perfect choice for those who prioritize passenger well-being and enjoy a design that dares to be different. It's not the fastest or the most agile, but its ability to turn a long journey into a pleasure is its greatest virtue. A vehicle with an overwhelming personality that left an indelible mark on the history of minivans.
