Hello my friends! I drive this car since August 2017 Shine and 131 PS-Engine (petrol) and lazuli blue. It`s a great car with features as lounge feeling, three seats for the kids in the background and low fuel consumption. I recommend this car to all the family guys. Greetings from Germany - Bavaria!
OSV provide the very best road tests on their cars. One really gets to know the car by watching your excellent reviews. It’s also great to see West Sussex (Horsham) area again where I worked for a number of years. Keep up the great reviews OSV, no U.K. car review channels come close to your in-depth channel.

We used to have a 2009 Grand C4 Picasso 1.6 HDi. In 9,5 years, we have run about 75k miles with it. Now we have 2 Citroen C4 Cactus and a Renault Talisman but i sometimes miss our old Grand Picasso. In the future, if i have a crowded family, i will definitely buy a Grand Picasso 👍🏼

Fantastic review, this chap knows his stuff, facts after facts, interesting and informative. Great pitch and delivery - one of the best reviews I've ever seen.
Best review of this car , thank you for helping me choose my next car . I have just ordered one today and I even showed the salesman this video and told him that this was my decision maker . I can’t wait for mine to arrive . I really love the 2 screens, it looks like a space ship 🚀.
Brilliant review and it was also good looking back at the history of the models! I have a Xsara Picasso and it is really good! This new Citroen is one new car I'd actually want to buy.
One of the better looking 7-seater. I'd buy one with the panoramic roof, it feels miles better than any competitor where the passengers feel like second class citizens because they are stuck in a dark box.

Excellent review! Very detailed and on point. I've been fan of MPVs for many years and have been looking for replacement for my ageing Zafira for a while. This Citroen might be a viable option. Looks great, huge windows, seems very comfortable inside and very practical.
True mpg will be about 52 mpg maybe a bit more.Our 1.6 hdi Citroen MPV does 52 mpg.The car is quick and very comfortable.It took me a while to get used to the notchy 6 speed manual gearbox.If I stick to the brand I would go for the automatic.Brakes are to sharp just needs a bit of slack in the pedal before it bites.Again something you have to get used to.Otherwise a very good MPV which does look nice.
I'm currently driving the recent version of this C4 and I couldn't fault it if I try. It's one of those cars that does everything you want. I would go for it again if it comes in hybrid, no doubt about it. They really got this one right.
Hi. I'm considering this car and will probably choose the 1.2 PureTech 130 petrol. I've read there where some problems with the first edition of this engine. Oil consumption and something with the belt? Some say Citroën / PSA has fixed those problems with some updates of the engine. Are you driving the petrol? How does it drive when fully loaded?
Simply great car like most Citroen's! Design was never in question and quality is much improved and reliability for me was always there and my 3 Citroen C5 were/are just great.
Always loved these cars and finally brought one today. Got a one year old flair with all the extras and 13000 miles for £16500. One year old and half the list price for the same brand new, beautiful car, perfect for my family of five and more equipment than I care to list. Great video and love your presentation and knowledge, thank you.
Just beware that the floor storage is a safety issue if you have a rearwardfacing childseat where the support leg rests on the lid. Citroen does not offer a filler like VW and Ford to make it safe. I had to go to the hardware store to buy a block of EPS to fill it. (Recommended by BeSafe)
What a wonderful idea! If you'd like to explore your options, book a free consultation with one of our Vehicle Specialists and we'll provide all the details you need about the C4: bit.ly/39YHCml
I had the sliding doors on my kia carnivale lx, these (citroen) doors are easyer to open but there was more room to get the kids in and out of the kia than the c4 grand picasso 2 . but i like c4gp2 better than the carnivale
The best review ever. It has almost answered everything I had in mine except one thing how good is engine quality for example toyota cars are the best when it comes to engine. They never breakdown

I'm on my second Xsara picasso, and my current one is going to be ten years old in 2019, so... do I upgrade to a grand space tourer...? On the strength of this review I'd say I'd be nuts not to. Let's hope citroen will strike a deal on these in the UK in the next 12 months.

Love your reviews, ironically I listen to them while driving. No 3rd row airbags, crazy!? Heads-up : Shocking for this "revamped" version they've removed the handy reading lights on the back of the seats AND the absolutely necessary overhead third row ventilation has been removed. Makes no sense whatsoever. The roofline is quite low, the sunvisor party piece is very cool, but having sat in the front seat with the sunvisor raked back, it touches my head and I'm only 6'1, so I had to lower the seat.Those cheap new seat covers are stain magnets compared to the older version. The seat modulation is one of the main reasons I am buying this, but the 2015 model with the above missing items . Very quiet car for such a big airy cabin. Love Citröens! 👍🏻
Hi there 👋 Sadly the Citroen C4 Grand Spacetourer was discontinued in 2022. If you're looking for one with the HUGE glass roof, your best option would likely be exploring the second-hand market. Features can vary by model year, so checking specifications for available options in used units would be advisable.
By far the most useful review of this car! would you recommend manual vs EAT8 automatic? (considering it's 2022 - in a few years most people can only drive automatic?)
Thanks for watching! We'd recommend automatic for this model. If you'd like to explore options to secure one for delivery, get in touch with our team on 01903 538835 or click here to book a call at a convenient time - bit.ly/3soFVbF
@@rivervalegroup Thanks a lot for the answer and the suggestion. I did contact them - but since I'm not in the UK yet, this was just a general enquiry. Was just wondering if you are recommending automatic these days more generally, or do you think this EAT8 gearbox is superior to the manual manual one in this case?

I am doubtful about the durability of the struts. The earlier wagons experiencing issues with struts, due to too heavy boot weight struts tends to last a limited time. Unlike Toyota Hiace van, peace of mind struts.

Why? I'm considering buying this car and with the 1.2 PureTech 130 petrol engine mainly because of my driving routine. Mostly short trips in the city and around 20 km. Not very often i drive 30+ km. I've read about some problems with the early design of the 1.2 but they should have fixed that in the newest version I've read. And i planing on changing oil at the Citroën dealer once a year. I drive around 15.000 km a year tops.
Yeah I carry a hammer in the underfloor compartment as a weapon against mobs and whatnot. Definitely something I don't want passengers to see ;) Well thought, Citroen!

Sorry you felt it was too long. We do put together pretty in-depth reviews. However, we have started to release short reviews every Wednesday, which might fit your needs better.
Shitty review of the third row seating. You didn’t close the second row and see what it would actually feel like to have an adult sit in the third row with 7 people in the car. I’ve sat in it in the Citroen showroom. Guess what, it’s horrible. Even with the second row far forward, your feet don’t have space and you knees are in your chest. Very bad design and not worth the extra money for a useless extra row.
@@foppo100 Even children's feet don't in that space comfortably, unless your children have 10 cm feet. Maybe child seats can fit in that row, but if I remember correctly, the 3rd row doesn't have ISOfix - which is the best way to secure a car seat.

I miss the HUGE glass roof! Is that no longer available in what you call the 'flagship' version?
Hi there 👋 Sadly the Citroen C4 Grand Spacetourer was discontinued in 2022. If you're looking for one with the HUGE glass roof, your best option would likely be exploring the second-hand market. Features can vary by model year, so checking specifications for available options in used units would be advisable.
So your SAT NAV comments are not true, you have a second screen which allows you to see map while your driving, so accessing thermos controls is easy.
what is the difference between 5 and 7 seater ?
i believe 5 has regular spare wheel ....
I have had the C4 Grand Picasso since it's release and I'm seriously considering have a model in a few months.
Speedo to the left ?? Like the old yaris. I hated that>. My eyes kept traversing the dash to check the speed instead of concentrating on the road.
A good point, thanks for the feedback Stephen 👍
