Citroen C4 Cactus SUV 2014-2019 review - Carbuyer

“The Citroen C4 Cactus is extremely cheap to run and very comfortable. It gets eye-catching looks too, and is more spacious than a Nissan Juke.”

[PaulHo]

Kudos to them for making such a unique vehicle.

Actually, this car is starting to grow on me. It feels fresh and it makes sense for the crazy place that I live in!

[AutomobileClassics]

Looks different. A bit extravagant, but simple and functional
With a touchscreen monitor. Little fuel consumption.
Plus airbumps against small accidents on the sides.
Congratulations, Citroen!!!

I have had my Cactus since September 2014! Just have to say from my opinion I am in love with my car!

[kirbyswarp]

The best part is you can say "I drive a Cactus"

I hate crossovers, but this one is actually pretty cool.

[TheCoBBus]

But I think that car looks great! Inside and outside ! its not the best maybe to drive but its good value for the money. That's what I think

[totallywinningprogamer]

Air bumps should be mandatory. They're awesome around the city.

[jacobpym]

The pop out windows in the back are a good safety feature for young children

[nikolajelovac]

Nice uppercut, Mat's been working the bag!

[timeanewme]

I know it has a few issues but I really like this car. It looks cool and it's different. A car of this size having pop out rear windows was a bit of a shocker but I like the idea of having those air pad things across the sides . . . I'm fed up of inconsiderate morons opening their doors onto my car and driving away. This car eliminates that problem!

[JackLondonen]

“For a cool looking car this is exceptionally good value”.

Amen!

Another great review thanks! Have to point out that the deeper boot makes it a far bigger boot space than its rivals, those with prams will very much appreciate the deeper boot space, folding up and popping it in the boot is made easy. Citroen was ranked higher than mercedes for reliability so not sure where your reliability figures are from I got mine from the AA for roadside breakdown statistics.Also not sure why the nissan juke is seens as a competitor, might as well compare it to an Audi Q7 its that far apart. Not sure what happened to the clutch in that car because the clutch is pretty sharp. Citroen is very innovative as they did invent the adaptive headlight system used in bmw and audi today.

Looks really nice. I love that they brought back conected front seats. And the whole car looks fresh. It's not boring as most of other cars. Thumbs up for citreon for being that brave and selling something like this.

I fell in love with this car as soon as I got in it, yes, it's not going to give you top spec luxury, there are compromises, but where else are you going to get a car that looks this cool, and is fun to drive?
It is nippy, the ride height is good, the seats are fine, but if you plan long trips, get a lumbar support
I'm 6'2" and I managed to find a decent seat position, then got in the back seat behind the driver, there's room for an adult if need be, but as this is a family car, and it has 2 isofix, kids will be well catered for, while its not the Picasso, it is a damn sight cheaper, and far far cooler, and if like me, your not ready to become a taxi for you, and all your kids friends, well, look no further!
Ask yourself this, do you want do drive a car used by taxi drivers ( Picasso, Zafira, etc..) or do you want to drive something that looks like a concept car, drives well, is economical, perfect for small families on a budget?
It does fit a pram in the boot as well

[gdfeeling]

Great feature is that with automatic gearbox three persons can fit in the fist row. In that case I wouldn't mind single rear bench seat.

[koolstup]

Had a look round one of these yesterday...driving position was good, it felt high enough, while still feeling like you were sat "in" the car

[Guerilla_G]

Airbump - 90s plastic side panelling just with a new name

[niksarass]

Matt you need to stop with that bullshit claim on reliability. According to reliability index recent survey in UK, French cars are among the most reliable just behind Japanese. Check, type on google "reliability index japanese french top brands"

[derbigpr]

People complaining about the little details like rear windows are forgetting that this is a VERY cheap car. In fact, if you look at what other cars you can get for the same money, nobody will offer nearly as much as a package, plus the C4 feels more special than any other car in the class.

[tonymitchell]

I quite like this! Wish Citroen was in the states.
