Citroën Grand C4 SpaceTourer (2013 – present) | Expert Rating [hide]

    Summary

    The Citroën Grand C4 SpaceTourer is today a rarity on the UK car market – a seven-seat MPV. It’s also quite old, originally known as the Grand C4 Picasso and with the current model ultimately dating back to 2013.

    The seven-seater Grand C4 SpaceTourer is based on the smaller five-seat C4 SpaceTourer model, which is no longer on sale in the UK.

    Despite its age, the car still sells in sufficient numbers to warrant its continued existence, and it continues to win awards as well. As of October 2021 the model getting another minor update, though it’s mostly about ‘streamlining’ the trim choices, with either a petrol or diesel engine each of 130hp.

    Reviewers tend to like the Grand C4 SpaceTourer. “It certainly ticks plenty of family-friendly boxes,” says What Car?, adding that it can be a five-seater with lots of luggage space or, thanks to two pop-out seats, a people carrier for seven adults.

    The body shape earns praise too; “With modern, stylish looks, it shows an MPV doesn’t have to be boring,” says Carbuyer.

    Most versions come well equipped and reviewers like the tech on offer. But they are more critical of some of the quality, Autocar commenting that “it still isn’t the last word on quality of fit and finish and some secondary systems don’t work as well as they should,” though adding “for the price it offers up a great interior.”

    Eurekar dubs the Grand C4 SpaceTourer “incredibly versatile” and “proof that there is still room in the market for a well thought-out MPV,” while Autocar sums up the general view by saying the car will “sell to the mainstream and those attracted by its eccentric sense of boldness.”

    As of October 2021, the Citroën Grand C4 SpaceTourer holds an Expert Rating of 71% based on 18 reviews.

      Eurekar

      Model reviewed: 1.2-litre petrol automatic Flair“The incredibly versatile Citroen Grand C4 SpaceTourer is proof that, despite the rise of the SUV, there is still a place in the family car market for a well-thought out MPV – especially when holiday time comes around.”
      Read review

      Model reviewed: Range overview“Many seven-seaters can prove cramped, but the design of the longer wheelbase Citroen Grand C4 SpaceTourer is such that the middle row of three individual seats slide separately and even when fully slid back – which provides a huge degree of legroom – there’s still a substantial boot area.”
      Read review

      Model reviewed: 2.0-litre diesel automatic Flair“A touchscreen-heavy dashboard with too few buttons was an annoying demerit but the biggest windscreen in the business lets you enjoy passing cloud formations and a dash readout of 45.5mpg brought a feeling of contentment in a high-mileage session at the wheel.”

      Model reviewed: 2.0-litre diesel automatic Feel“With all the versatility and practicality of a minibus but the light handling and easy driving capabilities of a large family car, the Citroen Grand C4 SpaceTourer is the ideal vehicle for an active family that needs to transport up to seven people in style.”

      Model reviewed: Range overviewScore: 6.2 / 10“If you need practicality, the Citroen Grand C4 SpaceTourer (Picasso) has it in spades, with a massive cabin, large and versatile boot and impressive flexibility. It’s a heavy car, though, and even the most potent diesel engine doesn’t feel particularly rapid.”

      Safety rating

      No safety rating

      The Citroën C4 SpaceTourer was originally crash tested by Euro NCAP back in 2013 (when it was known as the Grand C4 Picasso) and awarded a five-star rating, with the same rating applying to the larger Grand C4 Picasso.

      However, this rating expired in January 2020 and is no longer valid as the car no longer meets the standards required for such a rating.

      The Citroën Grand C4 SpaceTourer has not been lab tested by Green NCAP. This is a new initiative, launched in 2018 as a sister organisation to Euro NCAP, and only a few cars have do far been assessed. As yet, very few new cars have been tested for environmental impact by Green NCAP, and inevitably the testing programme was halted in early 2020 by the coronavirus pandemic.

      If and when the Grand C4 SpaceTourer is tested by Green NCAP, we’ll publish the results here.
