In addition to the front solar visor, both vehicles have two curtains installed to reduce glare and unwanted lights for the driver and front passenger.
Grand C4 Picasso is slightly larger than its nearest seven-seat MPV rivals, such as the Mazda5 and Opel/Vauxhall Zafira Tourer, and smaller than previous big MPVs such as CitroÃÆ''n Evasion and Opel Sintra.
This vehicle has five hundred liters of boot capacity and 1,951 liters with all the rear seats down.

The vehicle also offers a variety of features including: Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Emergency Braking Assistance (EBA), Intelligent Traction Control (ITC), and Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Furthermore, the vehicle also has an upgraded lane departure warning system (LDWS) over the previous generation, utilizing digital imaging and line recognition to vibrate the front seatbelts in the Exclusive model and alert the path changes at low speed.
This gives the possibility to awaken or warn the sleeping or disturbed driver.

The overall reviewers were impressed with the large five-meter squares room inside the vehicle, surrounded by large windows and thin door pillars. RACCars.co.uk is critical of the ETG6 gearbox, echoing previous criticism from other reviewers, but praising the new platform for easily absorbing road imperfections and improving the driving experience.
Security
The second generation C4 Picasso has six airbags by default, with adjustable pressure; two airbags for front, two lateral for passengers, and two side curtain air bags to prevent head injury.
Transmission
Initially, the C4 Picasso model featured a new six-speed automatic six-speed manual gearbox from CitroÃÆ'n, called the "Efficient Tronic Gearbox six speed" (ETG6). This allows the driver to switch, anytime, between manual and automatic mode. Some reviews have been critical of the ETG6 gearbox: Auto Trader calling it "jerky" and slow to react to tooth changes, while CitroenOwnersClub.co.uk called "poor".
At the end of 2015, with the introduction of the BlueHDi engine range, CitroÃÆ'Â nn replaces the ETG6 transmission with Aisin which is sourced from six automatic transmission torque speed converters, known as EAT6.
Four-speed automatic, six-speed ETG and six-speed automatic transmission has two shift options selected by the mode selector mounted in the column: either manually shifted mode of paddle or fully automatic/automatic mode with manual replacement with Formula One style. The ETG/automatic gearbox also comes with an optional air storage compartment (refrigerator) including a tin holder, between the driver's seat and the front passenger, where the manual transmission lever usually is.
The 2 liter liter engine, 1.6 liter e HDi/BlueHDi, and post-2015 gasoline engines feature a start-stop system based on Valeo i-StARS reversible starters/alternators, and are called e-HDi for diesel and e-VTi models for petrol models. Two "ultracapacitors" are charged during braking, and the energy stored in them is used to change i Stars when a machine restart is required.
According to PSA, the system can restart the machine in just 400ms, and while the vehicle is still moving between 8-20 km/h, the conventional starter can not be done. The i-StARS is rated up to 600,000 restart cycles, and PSA claims up to 15% fuel economy. Modifications to prevent engine wear during lethal phase and from constant restart include improved turbocharger lubrication system and reinforcement to injection pump, crankshaft bearings, and double mass rocking wheel.
