The same goes for the quiet engine, the easy gearbox and the general feeling of sprightliness, at odds with the five seats, the decent boot and the mini-SUV frame. The Cactus is 200kg lighter than a standard C4, apparently, but several tons lighter surely in spirit, even allowing for the bathmats.
Let’s get one thing straight: the new-look 2015 Citroen C4 isn’t a mainstream hatchback, 2022 Citroen C4 review. Mon 17 Jan 0. 2023 Citroen C5 Aircross Sport review. Sat 25 Nov 0.
In fact, it was other C4 variants that grabbed the column inches. The C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso both notched up some decent sales figures and aesthetes loved the later-launched and boldly-styled C4 Cactus crossover model. As for the ordinary standard C4 hatchback, well that ran on, rather neglected until its facelift in 2015.
The C4 Cactus was initially fitted with a one-piece rear bench, but 60:40 split folding rear seats were added at the facelift and are now standard across the range. The boot has a 358-litre
Citroen's 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines have also been very widely used, and have proved reliable in other models, so we wouldn't expect too many issues here.
Citroen’s petrol engine range is definitely the one to go for if you don’t cover many miles a year or mostly make short trips around town. All engines are fitted with stop-start to save fuel
