Citren is continuing the roll-out of its full product offensive and it’s new compact hatchback, C4 Cactus, ditches the quirky Airbumps for a slightly more restrained look. With this new hatchback model Citroen hope to offer class-leading comfort. The model’s status has also received a boost through the addition of segment essentials, such as 12 driver assistance systems, three connectivity technologies, and a revised engine line-up, with power units now developing up to 130hp. The new C4 Cactus will also become the first model in Europe to be equipped with the Citroen brand’s new suspension system with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions (PHC), and the first in the world to feature Advanced Comfort seats. Progressive Hydraulic Cushions (PHC) system adds two hydraulic stops on each suspension unit to replace the mechanical stops and can even assist to dampen the effects of a traffic collision should such an unfortunate event ever occur. Citroen has made the new C4 Cactus become customisable with a total of 31* exterior combinations. The palette of nine body colours highlights include Polar White, Obsidian Black, Platinum Grey and Cumulus Grey,  Red, Tapenade Grey, Emerald Blue, Pearl White, Deep Purple). For even more personalisation, customers can choose from a selection of five* alloy wheels: Grey 16-inch SQUARE and Black 16-inch SQUARE wheels, for their purity and elegance, as well as Black 17-inch CROSS, Two-Tone Black/Alloy 17-inch CROSS and Two-Tone White/Alloy 17-inch CROSS wheels – the last two are diamond-cut for a truly high-end look. At launch, the C4 Cactus will be powered by a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder, 128bhp petrol eng which will be followed by a less powerful 80bhp derivative and a 1.6-litre diesel, scheduled for summer 2018. Citroen has yet to confirm prices but they should be slightly more expensive then the current generation C4 Cactus, rumors have it at around £16k
