User Reviews Citroen C4 Picasso

= 74%* = 95 km/u = 15%

Just completed a return trip from the UK to Agde in the South of France. No problems with towing at 60 mph in 5th on cruise control. Overall fuel consumption 29 mpg. Occasional change to 4th gear on some of the longer motorway inclines.

My C4 Grand Picasso 16HDI EGS VTR+ is great It pulls my 2007 Bailey Ranger 470/4 with no trouble at all, it fact you can hardly tell it is there except for the fact you can see it in the reaview mirror. I was a little apprehensive before I got the car, but my fears went the first time I towed the van. I have no regrets choosing that model of car at all and the mpg is also very very good .

I have a Grand C4 new in 2008, I'm told this will not pull a 4 berth caravan with a max braked weight of 1180. Can anyone advise if I can or what C/van to buy please??

I have a Grand C4 1.6HDi VTR+ new in 2008. I was advised that this would not pull a 1200kg 4 berth single axle. My car is Semi-Auto, and as a result the dealer in Exeter lost the sale, this car pulls without any problems what so ever, OK I change down now and then, but on good roads it runs without any effort and returns 45 m.p.g. Excellent combination, nice straight lines, no dips etc. I'm very pleased.

I have just started towing a 2004 Bailey Ranger 470.4 with my 1.6 HDI EGS Grand Picasso Exclusive. As stated by others the car tows this van like a dream. I think it would be fine towing 1300Kgs (85%)) But Citroen state this would prob invalidate Guarantee !!! Also of course if involed in an accident then you would be overweight !! My new Picasso arrives Sept 1st same spec yes was so pleased with car that after three years bought a new one Happy caravanning

We have had our C4 Grand Picasso 2.0 Hdi Auto for six months now and have towed our 2004 Avondale Eagle for over 2000 miles on several caravaning holidays. The farthest we have been was to Keswick,in the Lake District,a round trip of 900 miles.
The C4 performed faultlessly up and down dale with an
average of 33-35 mpg. On the motorway it will stay at 60mph and is not bothered by wind or lorries overtaking.
Simply set the cruise control and sit back and enjoy the journey. On urban routes the car will average 29-31mpg depending on traffic conditions. The 136bhp engine is smooth and acceleration is terrific.The handling is good with little body roll.The Hillstart Assistance is great,no need to worry about slipping back,it will hold car and caravan easily till you start accelerating away.The Electric Handbrake is superb and will hold car and van on any slope and takeoff simply means pressing the accelerator, and away you go with no shudders or shakes. The comfort level of our Exclusive is wonderful and you get every extra you can possibly need. We have had several towcars in the last 10yrs including 2 other Citroens and we think this is the best towcar by Citroen so far.

I have to agree our C4 Grand Picasso 2.0 Hdi Auton in VTR trim is superb all round. Solo we get 47mph, how incredible is that for a big heavy car. It's still very reasonable towing. No effort to pull our 1200kg laden caravan up hill and down dale. Never had diesel or automatic before and it's all so easy with automatic handbrake as well. Good vehicle height and huge windscreen with no pillar intrusion gives you clear all round visibility for safety. Extra seats at back are very quick to pull up and come in really handy for the grandchildren. Both back rows down gives you room to move house! Good deals to be done on the forecourt, you can't go wrong.

Hace 2 años que tenemos el coche y la opinión que tenemos desde que lo enganchamos a la caravana es que es como si llevaramos una autocaravana ya que el conjunto no se nota que lo llevas. El cambio autómatico es una maravilla y los controles electrónicos de velocidad ayudan mucho. Otras de las cosas que van muy bien son los amortiguadores traseros autonivelantes que hace que no se hunda al enganchar. Yo para mi de los mejores coches versátiles para remolcar.

Having just done over 2000mls towing this summer so far my Citroen has has proved "up for it" with no problems so far. I normally start off in auto then slip it into manual as I find this much more easy to control gear changing where needed. Using cruise control gives effortless driving and I have found that I don't suffer any buffering etc when lorries past. Fuel consumption is a tad on the low side at present but in fairness the vehicle has not done that many miles (3000) mpg towing is around 29-34mpg the gearbow takes a bit of getting your head around but apart from that I have found no faults, having read a lot of reviews before getting this vehicle I wonder just how far the reviewers have driven or towed. In all a great vehicle from Citroen.

Traveling down to southern Spain, the car was very good ,on the flat, gradients and over the Pyrenees mountains, no problems at all. Average speed was 50 miles per hour, average mpg 29-33. Where possible I used the cruise control, and also manual gears. very impressed. Stress free driving with no worries. I must also say that it is possible to stay in 6th gear, for long periods including gradients. Certainly would recommend this car and engine. Excellent!

Effortless!!! The only way I can describe the car when towing.
Quiet, comfortable, and averaged 50 mph with ease on cruise, travelling all the way up the M6 to Scotland.
Economy could perhaps be better, a mixture of towing and solo, averaged 40.8 mpg, but the car has only done 2,600 miles, so should get better.
Otherwise a brilliant car,engine,and gearbox.

New car, 1500miles/new caravan. Pageant 6 Bordeaux. Was impressed with ease of towing.Used auto and cruise control when able. Economy a bit low 26mpg but then still new engine. Got better as we moved on. Good acceleration didn't seem to struggle at all, even in Lincs Wolds hills.

caravan sprite alpine 1199 kg ,car 2 1/2 years old tows with no problems 2000 miles in france . 30 to the gallon towing.

The caravan is actually the older Adria Forma 580C twin axle but weights are the same. Tows no bother at all, find it very relaxing and stable. Will get a good workout this summer as 1000 miles around France

This is my second season and have covered over 2000 miles Towing and 6000 solo. I cant fault the towing performance, everything works as it should, pulls well uphill, and the start assist is great on hill starts-pulls away smoothly.I also like cruise control on motorways.Combined fuel return including towing is 42 mpg

we recently visited a number of caravan dealers with regards to the above combination of car and caravan. We were informed by the dealers that the C4 Picasso's towing weight is actually 1080kg and not the 1300kg quoted in the manufactures booklet. Therefore the car could not tow that caravan for legal reasons. Has anyone else come across this problem?

We tow our Bailey 2 berth caravan with a C4 Citroen Picasso and by using the cruise control set at 50/55 mph whenever possible we achieve 40 m.p.g which is fantastic. We have no problems towing and the car is a lovely comfortable and economical car .

I have a 1990 Swift Cornich 14/2 with Citroen C4 Picasso 1.6 HDI EGS (semi automatic). It tows well, however it tow better if in manual mode, as it keeps changing gears when in auto mode. I get about 32 mpg with the van. The feel is minimum when towing. The downside is that the noseweight is 60 kg,

This car is exellent for towing the Lunar Zenith 5.It has powerful pull off from a standing start,and takes hills in it's stride,I have to remind myself that I have a caravan behind me.

I have just covered 3000 miles touring Scotland in winter, having previously done this with my old xsara picasso. I actually tow an Expression 470, but the weights and dimensions are accurate. The new C4 Picasso is excellent and the 6th gear performance better than predicted. Wet, Ice and Snow were no problems and the force 8 gale I drove through proved the stability. Auto change was sometimes slow but could be overridden with the 'flappy paddle'. Highly recommended

I can not fault this combination, unough power to take on almost any hill, enough weight to hold the Lunar 462 caravan in a cross wind, much better than our old Xsara Picasso, my only criticisum is the rear seats cannot be removed as in the Zsara Picasso and Citroen have not learned to make the folded seats disappear into the floor
this makes the loading difficult with an uneven floor

Had this setup from new, both van and car. The bailey is borderline weight wise, but you would not think it when towing with the picaso. Plenty of power, just leeps going in any driving situation. I will be changing my car later this year, pos the grand C4, just cos the weight ratio is slightly better. All in all can`t realy fault it. Lakes and Scotland are usual destinations.
