The New Citroen C4 Cactus 2018 is certainly interesting in the five-door segment within 4.2 meters, less niche than the previous one in terms of style. High but not as a SUV (1.47 m.) Deliberately not defined Crossover but sedan, differentiating from the C3 Aircross and C5 Aircross sisters , with the latter having positively hit the presentation but in Europe will only arrive at the end of next year. Real-time French technology, as always happens to a Citroen, is a solution of the wondrously analogous solutions: we talk about new dampers with hydraulic damping, an ingenious variant that replaces physical parts that give a sense of dry response, with hydraulic circuits inside the shock absorber that make the start and the suspension stroke more straightforward ; particularly appreciable on urban bumps, but also dry cuts and not compromising bending, as explained. Simple elements, capable of generating the historic progressive effect, almost as a "magic carpet" that characterizes the Citroen of a time, at least seems to be. We are not talking about overwhelming technical evolution, modern and expensive electronics, but a PHC cushion made by the European Kayaba network(Kyb) on Citroen specification, which could then be exported to other models of the House. There are twelve today's inevitable driving help functions and three connectivity technologies. To improve acoustics there are thicker, encapsulated rear windows, new sealing gates around the doors, soundproof windscreens and sound absorbing material on the bulkhead of the passenger compartment and floor.

How it look like
Personal, cute according to taste. It is the C4 born in 2014 that uses PF1 platform , but it is no longer true that it is "the Cactus" at first glance because airbumps are really much smaller and much lower, almost invisible from afar. What's more, however, is the front, now shared in the style of the recently released sisters , which propose the new Citroen's setting for the upcoming models: there are the front optical lenses with double row leds and a horizontal direction that makes wider the visual impression of the new C4 Cactus, more serious than the previous one. But it is also more visually pleasing, it looks less high because the overall visual effect is less high thanks to the large glazingand the glossy black finish, which set the gap between the lower part of the body and the upper part, just to make C4 C4 Cactus look more seductive than the previous one. The effect to us has seemed pleasing, at a static level, it may look different in the street on wider spaces alongside models that are very different from her. Even sides, air vents and especially the rear evolve, improving in general refinement compared to the past that was just singular and for someone nice. Behind these there are new 3D LED optical groups and the glazed glass roof combines the rest for the sensation of brightness and spaciousness desired. Nine car body colors, plus four pack colors, extending to the fog lamp profiles. Four instead the variants ofAlloy wheel, 16 or 17 inches .

Interior
Opening the C4 Cactus 2018 door, the French Generalist car is perceived as the previous one, but the new color tones , very varied, all nice enough, and the impression of brightness given by the large glass surfaces, come to the eye. are 1/3 of the total area. Objectively space, size, space (many and very wide) as material quality, are similar to the previous C4 Cactus, of which we have already talked about Automoto.it; what is changing is the feeling of contact with the seat, which in fact is one of the most perceived by those in a moving car. Here you will find new polyurethane materials with a thickness of up to 15 mm in intensity, able to give a mattress effectjust like the one wanted by the Citroen past, without being too "overwhelming". Being stuck inside the new C4 Cactus 2018, the feeling is very pleasing, comfortable and physically comfortable even in the small essentiality of the environment, decorated (among the five variants also leather and alcantara) and also illuminated by the large glass on the roof (UV4 protection) which lets you think of something else when you do not have to drive. Not a saddle of the most containable, but certainly comfortable more than the average, even for those over the meter and ninety-high, with lumbar control for the driver. For the rest, Infotainment is fully managed on a seven-inch Touch Pad, including Connect Nav 3D, which has sharing with the Android and iPhone world(Mirror Screen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink). Above all, to use, or to be ready to get started, there are twelve definable security systems or driving assistance, more or less direct: more than twice as many as before. Among those, the automatic emergency braking (5 to 85 km / h) the recognition of the limits of speed, the warning of inadvertent exceeding of the carriageway (65 km / h) and the Coffee Break Driver Attention Alert, surveillance of the dead angle . Helping Park Assist with Reversing Camera, while also having a Grip Control switchto move on difficult surfaces: it adjusts the motricity on five operating modes (snow, mud, sand, standard and ESP OFF). Another useful point for security is the Connect Box with Pack SOS & Assistance.
On the market
The debut day, scheduled for the first quarter of 2018 and the launch price for the new Citroen C4 Cactus, has not yet been defined; speaking with the technicians who have explained the value of the added content, it is assumed a slight increase in cost, in the face of greater talents. Certainly there are three PureTech gasoline engines, 82, 110 or 130 hp and two BlueHDi (100 and 120 HP) diesel all S & S, therefore a range of performance, and also a new six-speed automatic transmission, which is can be particularly suited to the triclindric gasoline turbocharger. With regard to performance, while about 40 kg more heavy than the previous C4 Cactus, for the soundproofing, the new French still has a small mass and some advantage over many segment competitors. Let's wait for it on the road.
