Detailed analysis of the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso Exclusive THP 155 CMP6 · 156 CV (2012-2013)
General description
The 2011 Citroën Grand C4 Picasso is not just a minivan; it's a statement of intent. It was born to redefine family travel, enveloping its occupants in a bubble of light and comfort with an unmistakably French style. It's a car that directly appeals to the emotion of sharing the road, prioritizing well-being and the travel experience above all else.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Grand C4 Picasso invites you to be calm. Its 156 hp THP engine offers a solid response for traveling with a load, but it's the smoothness of its suspension that truly captivates, filtering out road imperfections and turning every journey into a relaxing ride. The CMP6 piloted gearbox, while aiming for comfort, sometimes feels a bit lazy in its transitions, reminding you that this is not a car for rushing. The dominant sensation is that of floating in a rolling lounge, with spectacular visibility thanks to its panoramic windshield that floods the cabin with light and connects you with the landscape.
Design and aesthetics
Design is its soul. Citroën broke the mold with the 'Visiospace' concept, creating a futuristic and elegant silhouette that maximizes the glass surface. The Zenith windshield extends to the roof, the A-pillars are thin, and the windows are huge, generating an unparalleled sense of space and freedom. Inside, its modularity with seven independent seats and a digital, centralized dashboard demonstrate a functional genius that puts the family's needs first. It's a brave design that still feels special.
Technology and features
For its time, the Grand C4 Picasso Exclusive came loaded with technology designed for comfort. The fully digital and customizable instrument cluster was avant-garde, as were the dual-zone climate control and the electric parking brake. The CMP6 piloted gearbox with paddle shifters represented an attempt to combine the comfort of an automatic with the efficiency of a manual. Although some systems feel outdated today, at the time they positioned it as a benchmark for innovation in its segment.
Competition
In the competitive seven-seater minivan segment, it faced giants like the Renault Grand Scénic, the Ford Grand C-MAX, and the Volkswagen Touran. While its rivals opted for German sobriety or more pronounced dynamism, the Picasso played a different card: that of bold design, supreme comfort, and an interior brightness that none could match. Its unique personality was always its biggest selling point against more conventional alternatives.
Conclusion
The Citroën Grand C4 Picasso is a car bought with both the head and the heart. It's the logical choice for its space, versatility, and practicality, but it wins you over with its ability to make every family trip feel like a small adventure. Although the reliability of its mechanics may require attention, the pleasure of traveling in its bright and comfortable interior leaves an indelible mark. It's more than a vehicle; it's a memory maker.
