The Citroen Cactus Concept : A Vision For Future C-Line

Citroën has revealed the Cactus, a new concept car and a vision for future C-line models. The Citroën Cactus is a desirable, user friendly car that creates a unique harmony between the distinctive and the practical, offering comfort for all occupants with easy to use technology. The Citroën Cactus' styling fuses the aesthetic with the practical, with the designers finding the right volumes and extending efficiency to the smallest details. With a shape that is both original yet familiar, the body styling of Citroën Cactus is easy to identify, with pure and smooth surfaces in pearlescent white, flowing contours, 'floating' roof and rear quarter panels, contrasting and functional detailing and a bright and airy cabin with a large panoramic sunroof.

A stand out component of the Cactus is the ‘Airbump’, located on the sides and bumpers of the car. Combining style with function, the ‘Airbump’ strengthens the appearance and personality of the car with its originality and personalization possibilities. The supple material features a soft treatment that resists scratches and includes air capsules that absorb impacts.

Citroën Cactus technologies are easy to use, economical and environmentally considerate, accessible to all while being resolutely focused on the new needs of motorists. The Cactus concept features Citroën’s revolutionary new Hybrid Air drivetrain – a full-hybrid, compressed air and hydraulics system – which is combined with a PureTech engine to deliver exceptional fuel economy in excess of 94mpg (under 3l/100km).

In the centre of the dashboard is the eight-inch digital touch screen which integrates all driving commands. Easy to use, both the driver and passengers benefit from access to Citroën Multicity Connect, a portal of web-connected applications that use vehicle data – including mileage, speed, range and GPS position – to provide information adapted to motorists’ needs, such as warning them of traffic delays, locating service stations or tourist destinations.
