Detailed analysis of the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso Exclusive Plus e-HDi 110 Airdream CMP6 · 111 CV (2010-2011)
General description
The 2011 Citroën Grand C4 Picasso is not just a minivan, it's a statement of intent about what a family trip should be. It represents the culmination of the 'Visiospace' concept, where light and space become the protagonists of every journey, creating a unique driving and living experience. It is a vehicle designed from the inside out, prioritizing the well-being of its seven occupants above all else.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the predominant sensation is one of calm and command of the surroundings, thanks to its panoramic windshield and high driving position. You float over the asphalt with a suspension that masterfully absorbs irregularities, inviting a relaxed drive. The 111 hp e-HDi engine responds smoothly with admirable fuel consumption, although the CMP automated manual gearbox sometimes breaks the harmony with somewhat hesitant shifts. It doesn't seek the thrill of speed, but the pleasure of stress-free travel.
Design and aesthetics
Its design, bold and futuristic for its time, broke the mold. With an almost spaceship-like silhouette and an unparalleled glass surface, the Grand C4 Picasso seems sculpted by wind and light. The interior is a reflection of that audacity, with a clean dashboard, a fixed-hub steering wheel, and a central digital instrumentation that, although it requires a brief adaptation period, frees up the driver's field of vision and creates a rolling lounge atmosphere.
Technology and features
Technologically, it was ahead of its time with the e-HDi system, one of the first and most effective implementations of Stop&Start, which contributed to its low fuel consumption. The cabin was managed from a central console that grouped functions, and its fully digital instrument panel was a window to the future. Although the CMP automated manual gearbox represented an attempt at affordable automation, its operation did not achieve the refinement of traditional automatic transmissions.
Competition
In a very competitive segment, it faced giants like the Renault Grand Scénic, which played the modularity card, the Ford S-Max, with a more dynamic and sporty focus, and the Volkswagen Touran, the epitome of German sobriety and quality. It also competed at home against its cousin, the Peugeot 5008, with which it shared a platform but offered a different driving approach.
Conclusion
The Citroën Grand C4 Picasso is both an emotional and a rational choice. It is the car for those who value space, light, and comfort above pure performance. Its design is still striking and its travel concept, a delight. Despite a gearbox that could be improved, its practicality, modularity, and interior ambiance make it a sanctuary on wheels for the family, a vehicle that leaves an indelible mark.
