Citroen wins What Car? MPV of the Year

Citroen’s popular Grand C4 Picasso has been named WHAT CAR? MPV of the Year for the second year running, at the magazine’s prestigious 2008 awards.

Beating off rivals such as the Ford S-Max to win the coveted title, the Grand C4 Picasso 1.6 HDi SX bowled over the team at WHAT CAR?, with its class-leading levels of practicality and comfort, generous dimensions, great all-round visibility and host of innovative ideas.

The Grand C4 Picasso, together with its five-seat stablemate, has been successful across Europe, selling more than 200,000 in its first full year with almost 20,000 in the UK alone. This has helped Citroen become Europe’s leading brand in the segment.

Steve Fowler, Group Editor commented, “Citroen clearly did its homework when designing the C4 Grand Picasso – it fits the bill perfectly for modern families. It’s innovative, easy to use, great to be in and good value – it’ll keep every member of the family happy.”

The versatile seven-seat Grand C4 Picasso has raised the benchmark in the competitive compact MPV sector, thanks to its original styling, roomy cabin layout and host of storage solutions – perfect for families on the move. Its multitude of easily adaptable seating configurations allow up to seven people to enjoy the ride and take in the scenery via the super-wide panoramic windscreen and with five Euro NCAP stars, the Grand C4 Picasso is also one of the safest cars in its class.
