Detailed analysis of the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso Exclusive Plus HDi 110 CMP6 · 111 CV (2011)
General description
The 2011 Citroën Grand C4 Picasso is not just a minivan; it's a statement of intent. It is the materialization of Citroën's 'Créative Technologie', a vehicle designed from the inside out to maximize comfort, light, and space for the whole family. Getting into it is like entering a bubble of well-being designed to make every journey a memorable experience.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Grand C4 Picasso envelops you in an atmosphere of calm and serenity. Its 111 hp HDi engine, although modest in pure performance, moves the vehicle with commendable smoothness, ideal for long highway trips. The suspension filters out road irregularities with a mastery that few rivals could match, always prioritizing passenger comfort. The CMP piloted gearbox requires some anticipation to be smooth, encouraging a relaxed driving style that perfectly fits the car's philosophy. The feeling of spaciousness, thanks to its 'Visiospace' panoramic windshield, is simply unparalleled, turning the cabin into a rolling viewpoint.
Design and aesthetics
Its design was a breath of fresh air in an often conservative segment. With a futuristic and fluid silhouette, the Grand C4 Picasso stood out with an overwhelming personality. The most iconic element is its gigantic windshield that extends to the roof, flooding the interior with light, making it feel open and welcoming. Inside, the central digital instrumentation and the fixed-hub steering wheel were avant-garde details that reinforced its unique character and its commitment to a different and bold ergonomics.
Technology and features
For its time, the Exclusive Plus trim offered generous equipment aimed at making life on board easier. It included features like climate control, an electric parking brake, parking sensors, and a fully digital and customizable instrument cluster. The piloted manual gearbox (CMP) was its technological proposal to combine the comfort of an automatic with the efficiency of a manual, an ingenious solution although not without its quirks in operation.
Competition
In the competitive market of seven-seater minivans, the Grand C4 Picasso faced titans like the Renault Grand Scénic, the Ford Grand C-MAX, and the Volkswagen Touran. While its rivals often opted for more dynamic handling or German sobriety, the Citroën played its master cards: superior ride comfort, exceptional interior modularity, and a design that left no one indifferent, attracting those looking for more than just a family transport vehicle.
Conclusion
The Citroën Grand C4 Picasso is much more than a family car; it's a refuge on wheels. A vehicle that won hearts not for its speed, but for its ability to care for its occupants. Its bold combination of design, space, and comfort makes it a choice with a special soul, perfect for families who value quality of life on board above all else. An emotional choice that, even today, continues to convey a sense of modernity and well-being.
