Citroen C4 Cactus: Trendy car with a ton of innovation
New Citroen C4 Cactus is probably the most advanced car that Citroen produced after a while. Here we are not talking only to a special futuristic design that turns so many heads through the streets. Here we talk about ultra-low mass, which is in the level of the lower class cars, and which provides dramatically lower fuel consumption compare to other SUV competitors. In fact, C4 Cactus is a fantastic 200 kg lighter than the C4, the car on which it is based, but with a newer, lighter platform. Fantastic achievement.
Ultra low weight does not mean a small car. On the contrary, the C4 Cactus is very spacious on the front and rear seats. The boot is also with great size, but the functionality is reduced as the rear seat can not be split down as in the competitors, just down completely, in one part. Therefore, through the cabin there are many, many places to delay for trifles, which are well-sized. And all this thanks to the innovation that can only be made by Citroen: the front passenger airbag is integrated into the roof, rather than in the center console! But not everything is good - rear windows are opening like butterfly, incomplete, although this was made to reduce the weight, bad thing is the comfort of the rear passengers.

While driving, C4 Cactus behave like nearly every other Citroen. The comfort is very high on the open road and in the cabin are transmitted only major holes. Also solid refinement - engine well muted, and there is no sound neither of wind neither of tires. Stability is solid, but the dynamic in handling is not on the level of the competition. Weak is and the manual transmission, which is insufficiently precise and direct. Ergonomics is otherwise solid and all commands are at hand. However visibility is excellent, and at the narrow parking helps AirBump plastic doors, which easily absorb smaller bumps. Peace of mind.
Citroen C4 Cactus is brilliant in low consumption and low travel expenses. All engines are recorders in class when it comes to consumption - basic petrol goes with about 7 liters in a city or a little over 5 liters outdoors, while the new 100 hp diesel with ultra low consumption, consumes 4 liters outdoors or 5 liters in town , figures on which can envy and some city models! And thanks to the low weight, C4 Cactus boasts with solid performance from all engines, particularly from turbo petrol.
Lastly, all the innovation that Citroen has, are made to reduce consumption and the emissions of CO2, and with that to come with extremely favorable price. Citroen with the full functionality offered by C4 Cactus, and the style that brings with it, is currently one of the best cars in the class and freely we can say that is highly recommended choice.
