The Citroën C4 Grand Picasso offers plenty of space for passengers, but when fully loaded, the boot fills up quickly. Choosing a roof rack depends on the car's generation and how its roof is designed.
When choosing a rack, the first step is to determine the correct generation. The first generation designated as UA was produced from 2006 to 2013. The successor designated as DE came to the market in 2013 and was produced until 2018. The production year stated in the vehicle registration certificate is decisive.
The UA generation uses raised roof rails that protrude above the roof profile with free space underneath their structure. For the DE generation, you will find two different options: flush roof rails that closely fit the body along their entire length without a gap, or a design where the roof is bare without any elements.
Before buying, just take a look at the roof of your vehicle. The mounting type cannot be interchanged, as the feet and mounting kits are shaped precisely for the given profile.
The long roof footprint of this family car provides a good base for a roof box, bicycle racks, or ski holders. When loading heavier items or mounting accessories, you will appreciate the wide door openings, which serve as support when reaching the roof.
When planning a trip with a box, factor in the increased overall height of the car. This can be especially important when entering underground garages, ferries, or when parking under low shelters.

Choose your vehicle generation and select the setup according to the roof design.
