So far, no official confirmation of Citroën about some of their upcoming plans for the coming months. However, all the information that we are coming to a point certainly new step forward French brand, as confirmed this week its general director, Linda Jackson, in an interview with AutoExpress. “Citroen never do anything conventional. We are brave and move forward in terms of comfort. ” Therefore, after presenting in recent weeks two new ambitious products, C3 Aircross as SUV and the largest C5 Aircross, which next will be the remodeling of the C4 Cactus. And not just any renewal …

The boss himself, Product Planning Citroen, Peugeot Xavier has recognized in the same medium as “give a successor to Current C4 Cactus, but we want to show consistency with the current strategy. We are going to reveal in less than a year“. And that is when possibly the mystery is uncovered: new SUV in the range, new C4 Cactus could lead to a more conventional compact volume, bringing together even in a single model to the current Citroën C4 that, therefore, disappear.

A C4 Cactus without airbumps

The reality is that, more and three years on the market (It was submitted in February 2014), the Cactus Citroën C4 and this year pointed to a first restyling. However, most seem now all information It will be nearly a 2nd generation for its significant transformation. It also could to lose which it has so far been hallmark: the airbumps, or padded air side shields to protect small impacts. Also important so far for its stylistic definition also surprising that, despite adopting the new C3, and we have seen them removed at the last C3 Aircross or evolved towards a new format smaller and low near the ground in the Aircross C5, as you can see in the picture. Perhaps we see in the Cactus also in this format below.

Anyway, no longer the classic and airbumps possibly bringing together the whole range of traditional compact body brand, the new Citroën C4 Cactus, already even feasible to know him after the summer, adopt features of the latest models of the brand as a front very inspired by the Grand C4 Picasso.

Manufactured like its predecessor also in the Spanish factory of PSA in Villaverde, in Madrid, the new Citroën C4 Cactus bet more intensely connectivity and security technology, while introducing the latest engines Diesel BlueHDi Y gasoline PureTech French group and its automatic transmissions. More than ever saloon, It is more than likely also reportedly leaked to British media that has more modular solutions, as reclining rear seats by halves. Interior design, though, should not vary much.

Seating comfort and more fluffy, thicker windows and insulate better or sound absorbing materials more They will be part of its endowment. Especially as a new concept of suspensions.

And is that, as shown in the Citroen C5 Aircross, the C4 Cactus should have also with a similar to yours, but identical system, consisting of progressive hydraulic shock absorbers replacing shock absorbers and coil springs. This system thus aims to emulate without any electronics to some extent to the C6 disappeared. born promising a more comfortable and smooth ride… soon we will check.
