Detailed analysis of the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso 2.0i 16v CMP Exclusive Plus · 140 CV (2008)
General description
The 2007 Citroën Grand C4 Picasso was not just a minivan; it was a statement of intent. In a world beginning to obsess over SUVs, Citroën bet on light, space, and exceptional ride comfort for the family, creating a vehicle that felt like a living room with a view of the sky.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, smoothness is the star. Its 140 gasoline horsepower moves the vehicle with progressive calm, without abruptness, thanks to the 6-speed CMP piloted gearbox. Don't look for sportiness, but a serene and pleasant journey, where the suspension filters out road imperfections and the enormous panoramic windshield floods you with light, turning every trip into a relaxing and almost therapeutic experience.
Design and aesthetics
Its design was a true revolution. The 'Visiospace' concept with its Zenith windshield extending into the roof created an unparalleled sense of freedom and visibility. The interior, with its central digital instrumentation and fixed-hub steering wheel, looked like something out of a spaceship. The modularity of its seven seats and the quality of the finishes in the Exclusive Plus version made it an incredibly versatile and welcoming space.
Technology and features
For its time, it was at the forefront. The fully digital instrumentation, four-zone climate control, or the electric parking brake were features from higher-end ranges. The technological heart was its piloted manual gearbox (CMP), an attempt to combine the comfort of an automatic with the efficiency of a manual, although its sometimes hesitant operation required a period of adaptation to enjoy its potential.
Competition
In the competitive seven-seater minivan segment, 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 ever-practical Opel Zafira. The Citroën stood out for its bold design and superior comfort.
Conclusion
The Grand C4 Picasso is more than a car; it's a rolling sanctuary. A vehicle designed from the inside out, where the absolute priority is the well-being of its occupants. Although its CMP gearbox and performance may not win over the most demanding drivers, its design, brightness, and incredible comfort make it an unforgettable option for families who value the travel experience above all else.
