Citroen Grand C4 SpaceTourer Grey

You can get the Citroen Grand C4 Spacetourer with a choice of two diesel engines or a petrol. We’ve tried the less powerful diesel, which has 130 horsepower and should be enough for pretty much everything family life is likely to throw at it. It’s not too noisy, either from the engine or from road noise, although the eight-speed automatic gearbox on our test car was sometimes a bit slow to react and not as smooth as we’d hoped between gears. It’s a small gripe though, and never got overly annoying. You can get a six-speed manual gearbox too. There’s a more powerful 160-horsepower diesel too, which we’ve yet to try, but we’re not sure many people will need the extra grunt. Should you want petrol power over diesel, Citroen offers a 130-horsepower engine with either manual or automatic gearbox, which could be of interest if you don’t do many long journeys, due to the cheaper fuel and purchase price. We’ve yet to try it.
