Citroen's Grand C4 Picasso has been recognised as Australia's best people mover for 2014 in the annual Drive Car of the Year awards.

The Grand C4 Picasso scored a unanimous victory, with judges commenting that at the end of testing the Grand C4 Picasso was a "stylish, fresh and fun way to carry the family".

The judges added: "What couldn't be ignored was that the Grand C4 Picasso comes with a six-year warranty, providing mums and dads with greater piece of mind,

"It's more carlike than a traditional van and it also has a very frugal 2.0 litre turbo-diesel engine," said the Judges.

General Manager of Citroen Australia, John Startari said that the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso is without a doubt Australia's most awarded people mover for 2014.

"Throughout 2014, the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso has taken out numerous awards for its design, value and drive experience – it is unquestionably the most awarded people mover available on the market today," said Startari.

"The Grand C4 Picasso brings a fresh perspective to the people mover market and compliments that fresh perspective with one of the longest warranty and support programs available in Australia,

"The six-year warranty is a key Citroen point of difference and a feature that provides families peace of mind where transport is a necessity in the daily life." said Startari.

The Citroen Grand C4 Picasso recently won best family wagon at Australia's Best Cars and the Good Design Award, best in category at the Australian International Design Awards.
