Strong Points
Expressive light signature, 21 bodywork combinations / Airbump, roof bars.
A world exclusive.
The interior design of the C4 Cactus is focused on an uncluttered, high-tech layout dedicated to wellbeing.
This aesthetic choice, fully in line with the philosophy of the C4 Cactus, frees up space for the driver and passengers while lending the cabin a strong graphic feel in which each component has its natural place.
• 100% digital driver interface
• 7-inch touch tablet with seven touch-sensitive buttons grouping all vehicle controls
• simplified “Easy Push” gearbox control for Efficient Tronic Gearbox (ETG) models
• ceiling-mounted passenger airbag (“Airbag in Roof” technology), freeing up space for a large storage compartment, the “Top Box”, accessed from the top of the dashboard.
All C4 Cactus controls are grouped in a single screen. Motorists use the standard-fit 7-inch touch tablet and its seven touch-sensitive buttons to control all vehicle functionalities with a single click. The simple, intuitive and 100% digital tablet controls:
– all the media sources (nomad device connections, music and photo storage)
– the navigation system (perspective map view, speed limit display, traffic updates)
– automatic air conditioning
– driving aids (Park Assist, reversing camera with colour display)
– telephone (Bluetooth hands-free function, contact list access, contact photo display)
– connected services (CITROËN Multicity Connect via a 3G connection).
The C4 Cactus has the dimensions of a compact hatchback and is optimally proportioned. The C4 Cactus has a wheelbase similar to that of the CITROËN C4 and is equally spacious inside, but more compact, at 4.16 m long for a 2.60-m wheelbase.
The car is ideally proportioned for liveability and driving comfort with:
• a pleasant and spacious cabin (with knee room similar to that of the C4)
• a capacious 358-litre boot
• optimised height, at just 1.48 m, for greater aerodynamics
• reduced overhang, with the wheels placed firmly in the corners
Running costs were also reduced by combining an optimised platform with efficient, latest-generation engines.
The low fuel consumption offered by these engines means considerable savings at the pump.
The work achieved on reducing vehicle weight has also significantly decreased the wear on parts, which need to be replaced less often.
In all, the running costs of the CITROËN C4 Cactus are nearly 20% lower than those of the leading models in the compact hatchback segment.
PERFORMANCE
Latest-generation engines for low fuel consumption
The C4 Cactus is equipped with latest-generation, low-capacity engines. Already compliant with the future Euro6 standard (PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel fit with Stop & Start), these modern and efficient engines are extremely frugal:
• normally-aspirated 3-cylinder, 1.2-litre PureTech VTi 82
• turbocharged e-THP 110 PureTech engine with central direct injection and dual variable valve timing
• BlueHDi 100, a new step towards cleaner diesels with record CO2 emissions, as low as 82 g/km, and controlled fuel consumption, starting at 3.1 l/100 km.
Low running costs: bringing motorists more… for less
CITROËN solved the cost equation by adopting a pragmatic approach. Car ownership costs come in two main forms: retail price and cost in use (fuel consumption, maintenance costs, and so on).
CITROËN has developed real-life solutions for each component:
• innovations that are economic in use, including the panoramic glass roof with advanced heat protection (and sunblind-free) and the Magic Wash wiper system.
• latest-generation engines, with the PureTech petrol units and BlueHDi diesel, for lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
200 kg less than a hatchback
The C4 Cactus weighs 200 kg less than the CITROËN C4, a feat achieved by forthright design choices:
• a compact, lightweight platform
• latest-generation, low-capacity engines
• and, above all, bold design options including an aluminium bonnet and hinge-opening rear windows.
The reduced body mass of the C4 Cactus was also achieved through innovations such as the sunblind-free panoramic glass roof with advanced heat protection and the Magic Wash wiper system.
Doing away with the superfluous to reduce cost in use
Running costs were also reduced by combining an optimised platform with efficient, latest-generation engines.
The low fuel consumption offered by these engines (just 82 g/km of CO2 and 3.1 l/100 km for the BlueHDi 100 version and under 100 g/km for the petrol models) means considerable savings at the pump.
The work achieved on reducing vehicle weight has also significantly decreased the wear on parts, which need to be replaced less often.
In all, the running costs of the CITROËN C4 Cactus are nearly 20% lower than those of the leading models in the compact hatchback segment.
DETAILS
Bringing customers more of what really counts
The world is changing and consumer expectations are changing even faster. What about cars?
In response to that question, CITROËN has adopted an original approach, bringing customers more of what really counts through technological innovations and forthright choices on design, comfort, user-friendliness and running costs.
The C4 Cactus shifts the paradigm with a new combination of automotive content while remaining faithful to CITROËN’s DNA and Technologie baseline. The CITROËN C4 Cactus is the car that addresses today’s questions, with new ideas for a new world!
Exterior design: reconciling styling and use
With its strong yet eminently practical design features, the C4 Cactus meets a growing need for efficiency with its optimised shapes and flowing style lines.
The CITROËN C4 Cactus stands apart with its unique and assertive styling, composed of pure, smooth and aggression-free surfaces and a floating rear quarter panel and roof that emphasise the body design.
LIGHT SIGNATURE
The front end features a high-tech light signature with LED daytime running lights that underline the sleek headlamps built into the Airbumps®.
The light signature is rounded out by the 3D-effect rear lights that further enhance the design of the car.
BOLD PERSONALITY
The C4 Cactus also expresses its bold personality through graphic components focused on practicality, including roof bars combining style and functionality and Airbumps® that protect the car from everyday bumps. The C4 Cactus has a singular take on daring and creativity.
Uncluttered and ergonomic dashboard
The dashboard innovates with its intelligent architecture aimed at user-friendliness, a sensation of roominess, and storage compartments.
To create the pure and uncluttered dashboard, driving and safety components were rethought and reorganised:
• 100% digital driver interface
• 7-inch touch tablet with seven touch-sensitive buttons grouping all vehicle controls
• simplified “Easy Push” gearbox control for Efficient Tronic Gearbox (ETG) models
• ceiling-mounted passenger airbag (“Airbag in Roof” technology), freeing up space for a large storage compartment, the “Top Box”, accessed from the top of the dashboard.
100% digital and 100% intuitive
All C4 Cactus controls are grouped in a single screen. Motorists use the standard-fit 7-inch touch tablet and its seven touch-sensitive buttons to control all vehicle functionalities with a single click. The simple, intuitive and 100% digital tablet controls:
