Until now everything pointed to the Citroën C4 Cactus would not count on a generational change, but rumors indicate that it will finally be like this

Beware, that the Citroën C4 Cactus could have a generational relay

Citroën C4 Cactus

When Citroën withdrew from the market the C4 , announced that its gap would be occupied by C4 Cactus . After that, he confirmed that the C4 family would have a generational relay , although it would be merged into a single product. The reason given, is that both models were stepping on the ground and therefore had to unify its range. However, it seems that in the end it will not be like that, because something has changed.

A short year ago the Citroën C4 Cactus received a deep restyling that updated his image. After its change, it has gone on to compete against the most established compacts in the market, although with a discreet success. Therefore, it seems that the gala firm is working on its generational relay . In addition to being something unexpected, it seems that it will be "revolutionary", since it will feature new features.

 Citroën C4 Cactus

What has changed in Citroën so that the C4 Cactus has relief?

It seems that Arnaud Belloni , Vice President of Global Marketing and Communication of Citroën, is who would have raised the hare. Apparently, Belloni confirmed in a recent interview that a electric version of the C4 Cactus could reach the market in the year 2020 . Taking into account this information, the rumors have been put to work at full capacity.

According to comments, what would be the second generation of the Citroën C4 Cactus would be developed on the e-CMP platform . This base is a modification of the already announced CMP, intended for vehicles of urban segment, and that will debut the DS 3 CrossBack. Therefore, offering an electric alternative with autonomy, according to the WLTP approval protocol, of 350 kilometers is perfectly viable.

However, there is something in these rumors that does not fit us. In the middle of last month we echoed the arrival of the new C4 of an electric version . At that time, there was talk that its base would be the e-CMP, the same that would give life to this hypothetical C4 Cactus. Therefore, we could perfectly be talking about the same model, even though they are linking us with the commercial name.

It could also be the case that those responsible for Citroën are thinking about the denomination use. The C4 family started on the market with remarkable success, but it was deflating. In the saga C4 Cactus something similar has happened, but the design has marked his personality, so they could play with more risky lines. Anyway, the firm does not loose pledge on its future model, so we'll have to wait and see what happens.
