Citroën drops entry-level C4 Cactus under range revisions

Citroën is reducing the C4 Cactus line-up from three trims to two as it focuses on higher specifications.

Since its introduction in January 2018, demand for the revised Citroën C4 Cactus Hatch has centred heavily around the top of the range ‘Flair’ trim level

In a similar move to its revisions to the C3 range, the carmaker is discontinuing the ‘Feel’ trim, the current entry point to the range, in line with the weaker demand for entry-level models being seen across several models.

This means the ‘Origins’ Collector’s Edition, introduced earlier this year as part of the brand’s centenary celebrations, becomes the entry-level version, topped by the ‘Flair’ trim level that has accounted for 80% of C4 Cactus orders so far in 2019.

The Origins trim is offered solely with the recently introduced RDE2-compliant PureTech 110 S&S six-speed manual, priced at £20,090 and featuring equipment including 17-inch black alloy wheels, MirrorScreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rear parking sensors, air con, auto lights and wipers and seven-inch touchscreen.

Jumping up to the Flair trim with the same PureTech 110 S&S six-speed manual brings a £1,250 premium and now adds in front parking sensors and keyless entry and push button start to the existing package of Citroën emergency call system, Active Safety Brake, Speed Limit Recognition, colour reversing camera and Citroën Connect Nav with a three-year subscription to TomTom Live for real-time traffic updates. Flair is also offered with the PureTech 130 S&S EAT6 automatic as well as the BlueHDi 100 S&S six-speed manual and BlueHDi 120 S&S EAT6 automatic diesels.

The updated Citroën C4 Cactus Hatch range can be ordered now, with first deliveries commencing from late October 2019.
