C4 Grand Picasso in brief

The Grand Picasso is a spacious seven-seater MPV, popular with families for its flexible interior layout, large boot, and expansive glass areas. The driver's seat is elevated, offering excellent visibility, and the suspension is tuned for comfort.

The first generation was sold from 2006 to 2013, the second from 2013 to 2018. The final models in 2018 were rebranded as the Grand C4 SpaceTourer.

Which generation to choose

The first generation (2006–2013) is the more budget-friendly option. The interior design and technology are more dated, and some models feature an automated manual transmission that requires careful inspection.

The second generation (2013–2018) is built on a new platform, making it lighter, more modern, and more fuel-efficient. The interior is dominated by large screens and numerous driver-assistance systems, with a more contemporary look.

If your budget allows, we recommend choosing the second generation, especially with an economical diesel engine or PureTech petrol engine, and most importantly — with a service history.

Engines and gearboxes

In the first generation, popular choices include the 1.6 and 2.0-litre petrol engines and the 1.6 and 2.0-litre HDi diesel engines. Gearboxes include manual, automated manual, or traditional automatic.

The second generation most commonly features 1.2 l PureTech and 1.6 l THP petrol engines, as well as 1.6 l and 2.0 l BlueHDi diesel engines. Manual and automatic transmissions are offered.

Always check the specific car's engine, power, and transmission type against the documents.

What to check when buying a used C4 Grand Picasso

If the car has an automated manual transmission, test it: movement should be smooth, without judders or jolts. If you notice problems, expect an expensive repair.

In turbocharged petrol engines, check the oil level and consumption, as well as the condition of the distribution mechanism. In diesels, it's worth checking the particulate filter and other exhaust system components.

Inspect the suspension, as family MPVs often drive when loaded. Also, check that all electronic functions work — screens, cameras, boot and door operation.
