Yes the French car manufacturer has done it again - the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso has won the Auto Express award for the ‘Best MPV of The Year’ for the 3rd year in a row. This Citroen MPV is still taking the top spot even after some fierce competition has been released over the past 12 months from other competitor car brands.
We feel it's the top MPV of its class due to its many features, as well as the flexibility the family car holds. The interior arrangement is so adaptable that you can have the family packed into the car with all your luggage ready for a trip away with room to spare or you can be traveling to the tip with the seats laid flat using up the full 2,181 litre load space. Its adaptability for a family friendly car is just one of the unique qualities, you also have the luxury touches such as the 7inch colour touchscreen moulded into the dash. This allows you control all aspects of the car from Air Con to Navigation and entertainment. Some models offer your passengers a reclining seat for comfort on long journeys, and you’re even presented with a very light and airy cabin thanks to the Grand Picasso's large side windows and huge panoramic roof. These features make this MPV a joy to be a passenger in or even drive with its amazing visibility that provides all round views.
It’s packed full of features such as Stop/Start, Cruise Control, Hill Start Assist plus many safety feature keeping you and your family safe. This MPV also offers a number of different engine choices like the 2.0 litre BlueHDi 150 turbodiesel and the 1.6 HDi that produces 74.3mpg and low C02 emissions of 99g/km
So as you see, a number of factors has made this car the Award Winning MPV as well as Auto Express who have named it number 1 out of a list of 10 competing MPV’s in their ‘7 seater car to buy right now’.
But wait there's more to come from the Grand C4 Picasso...
