Citroen C4 Cactus pictures 2018

The Citroen C4 Cactus fits in the range above the Citroen C3 Aircross.

Whilst toned down, it follows the usual Citroen’s quirky designs.

The Cactus has been given a more mature look to differentiate it from new Aircross models

Citroen’s Progressive Hydraulic Cushion suspension is fitted to aid comfort

This bias on comfort means that the driving dynamics aren’t very sharp

Armchair-like seats further promote laid-back comfort over driving thrills

Trim levels are split into three, named Feel, Flair and a limited-edition Feel Edition

Every Citroen C4 Cactus is well equipped with features like air conditioning, cruise control and a 7-inch display

The old awkward handbrake has been replaced by a more conventional lever

There is a good amount of room in the back for adults but the rear windows don't roll down

Options include keyless start, a reversing camera and a panoramic sunroof

Boot space is good with 358 litres on offer, putting the Nissan Juke's 251-litre boot in the shade

The boot is a usable, square shape with no obvious protrusions to make loading awkward

Rear seats split 60:40 and increase total boot space to 1,170, but there's a step in the floor, hampering practicality

The C4 Cactus provides a spacious, airy interior with plenty of space in the back for two adults

The C4 Cactus is fitted with 3D LED rear lights that are designed to make the car look wider

The facelift provided a slightly more aggressive front end with tweaked headlights and more personalisation options

Airbumps made a return to the C4 Cactus, but they're now smaller and more understated

Most buyers are expected to choose the 12-litre PureTech petrol with 80, 108 or 128bhp

The 108bhp 1.2-litre PureTech petrol is our pick paired with the Feel equipment level

The only diesel available produces 97bhp and is capable of returning 76.3mpg

A host of new safety kit for the new C4 Cactus may improve on the 4 star Euro NCAP rating of the pre-facelift

Autonomous emergency braking and the world’s first roof-fitted airbag is standard across the range

Flair trim adds lane departure warning and a speed limit alert system

The C4 Cactus isn’t technologically innovative but does feature a 7-inch infotainment system

However, the system can be slow to respond and unresponsive to the touch

The satellite navigation system is a plus with fast routing and clear instructions
