Citroën car reviews

French brand Citroën used to be famous for its quirky and idiosynractic designs. Having gone through a long period of selling much more conventional - even boring - cars, it seems to be rediscovering its design flair with products like the C3 and DS3. Citroën has become a big player in the MPV market, too, with more offerings than any other manufacturer - no less than eight ranges at the last count.

Citroën is part of the PSA group, sharing many platforms and parts with Peugeot.

Citroën Berlingo Multispace reviews

Launched in 2008, the Citroën Berlingo Multispace is a true multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), offering bags of interior space. But how did it fare in the eyes of our unbiased experts? Find out with our Berlingo Multispace review.

Citroën C-Crosser reviews

The seven-seater Citroën C-Crosser SUV is the sister model of the Peugeot 4007 – and both were developed from a third car, the Mitsubishi Outlander. But which one is best? Find out with our expert reviews.

Citroën C1 reviews

The Citroën C1 is a cheap, economical city car that shares much with the Toyota Aygo. Introduced in 2005, it’s available with a three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine, or a four-cylinder 1.4-litre diesel engine.

Citroën C3 reviews

The Citroën C3 is a spacious and affordable supermini hatch. The original version was popular right from its launch in 2002, but in recent years, it has been showing its age. To keep up with the times, Citroën launched an updated C3 in January 2010.

Citroën C3 Picasso reviews

The Citroën C3 Picasso is the compact MPV version of the regular C3 supermini. It’s a little more stylish than the similarly priced Berlingo Multispace, but not quite as practical. Electronic stability control is only fitted to top-of-the-range cars as standard.

Citroën C4 reviews

The 2004-2010 Citroen C4 was a much more adventurous proposition than the dull Xsara it replaced - and perhaps a bit too 'out there' for many. Underneath its boldly-detailed body it's fairly conventional, however, with a choice of economical diesel or refined petrol engines. Rear legroom's not great, and the interior's crammed with confusing controls and wacky features, but if you can live with this, it's cheaper secondhand than a Focus or Golf. Worth a look? Check out our full review for the lowdown.

Citroën C4 Grand Picasso reviews

The Citroen C4 Grand Picasso is the long-wheelbase, seven-seat version of the popular Picasso family; it's spacious, comfortable and good value for money. Engines on offer include the turbocharged 1.6 THP petrol and super-economical 1.6 HDI diesel, though we'd avoid the optional EGS semi-automatic gearbox. Worth a look, or worth saving up for the all-new 2011 model? 

Citroën C4 Picasso reviews

The roomy Citroen C4 Picasso seats five - the Grand Picasso's the seven-seater - and has plenty of space for everyone. It comes with economical diesel or smooth petrol engines, and is good value for money - especially secondhand. It's not quite as economical as Citroen's claimed figures, and it has suffered from electrical problems, but it remains a credible option; read on for the full lowdown. 

Citroën C5 reviews

The Citroen C5 is a large family car, available as a saloon or estate. It's roomy, comfortable and well-equipped, with a wide choice of engines, and it's popular amongst caravan-towers who like its adjustable, self-levelling suspension. The Mk2 model (from spring 2008) has a much more upmarket cabin, and comes with the option of conventional steel-spring suspension, if the prospect of the Hydractive system is rather scary. But which models are the best bet? Read on for the full Which? verdict. 

Citroën C6 reviews

This large, luxurious saloon recalls the days of the original DS and CX: it's lavishly-trimmed and very comfortable to ride in. The Citroen C6 is an alternative to the usual options in this class, and whilst it's not a cheap buy and its depreciation is fierce, its diesel engines (2.2, 2.7 or 3.0 V6) are at least fairly economical. Do you dare to be different? Read on for the full Which? lowdown on this unconventional executive contender.

    Citroen DS3 1

    The DS3 is Citroen's attempt to produce a posh supermini to rival the Mini - a design-led, stylish and well-equipped small car with a wide range of options for personalisation and customisation. It's actually cheaper than the latest C3 on which it's based, however (the C3's a more practical five-door, the DS3 three-door only) and it's an interesting proposition.

    Citroen Nemo 3

    Citroen's little Nemo Multispace is a very practical mini-MPV - as it would be, based on the Nemo van. It's got lots of headroom, a versatile interior and economical engines - but no stability control, which is a serious safety concern in a high-riding rollover-prone vehicle like this. Would we still recommend it? Read on for the full Which? lowdown.
