Citroën’s Grand C4 Picasso has won top honours at the 2008 evecars.com awards for the second year running. The women’s car-buying website has bestowed Citroën with the coveted MPV of the Year 2008 accolade for the family car’s style, safety and versatility. The Citroën Grand C4 Picasso was chosen winner after evecars.com found that over 80 per cent of car purchases in the UK are influenced by females. According to the website, the awards focussed on what women look for in a car and each contender was inspected by a panel of judges who tested how easy it was to find the perfect driving position, access the back seats, fit a child Seat and pack the boot. Citroën Grand C4 Picasso fits the bill, women feel.

A practical test followed and the Grand C4 Picasso drove away with the top honours. Incidentally, the award is the latest among the many laurels the seven-seat Grand C4 Picasso has won.  

The Citroën Grand C4 Picasso  MPV seems to have charmed one and all with its original styling, roomy cabin layout and host of storage solutions. With five Euro NCAP stars, the Grand C4 Picasso is also dubbed as one of the safest cars in its class. The MPV has been credited with all-round practicality, comfort and style. Roomines is another advantage.  

Meanwhile the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso is also set for a hit in the Russian car mart. Citroën will be unveiling the new C4 at the Moscow Motor Show in both hatchback and coupé versions. With Russia being a priority market for Citroën, the MPV would follow the earlier two major launches in 2008. Citroen had unveiled the C-Crosser and the saloon and Tourer versions of the new C5 in Russia. And to add to the line up, the new Berlingo will be released in Russia during the Moscow Motor Show.
