It blends the singular personality of the C4 Cactus with the class-leading comfort of the C4 hatchback to make a comfortable, modern-looking hatchback.
Citroën CEO, Linda Jackson, said: “Citroën’s objective is to be the benchmark in terms of comfort. And, as a mainstream brand, to bring this all-new comfort to the greatest number of people. With New C4 Cactus and the introduction of the new suspension with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions, we are bringing motorists an original compact hatchback fully in tune with its times.”
The model’s status has been boosted via introductions such as 12 driver assistance systems, three connectivity technologies and a revised engine line-up, with power units now developing up to 130hp.

New C4 Cactus is the first model in Europe to be equipped with the Citroën brand’s new suspension system with Progressive Hydraulic Cushion (PHC), and the first in the world to feature Advanced Comfort seats.
