If you own one of these new British designed French newcomer, one thing that you can easily notice is, your neighbours checking out your new ride, which by the way, now features more efficient engine. It’s a fact that some will love it, and the others, might hate it, but either way, you still have it parked outside your front door.
Some people don’t need any reason to hate someone or something. At the 2015 World Car Design of the Year awards, this peculiar set of wheels has earned a huge number of votes of acclaim and became a strong contender from France.

If that’s not enough for you then what about the esteemed “Autocar Sturmey Award”, presented to Mark Lloyd, the designer of C4 Cactus, at a lavish event in London.
Mike Wilson, Citroen head of marketing, stated that “If you tow a trailer tent and don’t want or need a big car then the C4 Cactus is a great choice.” And that’s exactly what the judging panel of highly competitive “2015 Ultralight Tow Car Award” have cited, they bear witness the high standard set by this avant-grade family hatch.
All this practicality, performance and distinctively designed, latest in-car technology package can be yours for only £12,990.
The best thing it offers is the overall running costs, 29 percent less than the benchmark in its own segment, pretty impressive eh?

And then is the mind blowing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures, the 91.1mpg and 82g/km. Now that’s brilliant, isn’t it?
To put the control of all primary vehicle functions within driver’s easy reach, a pleasantly strange, oval shaped seven-inch touch-driver interface has been mounted in the centre.
The cruise control, gear efficiency indicator, tyre pressure monitor, and sat-nav system comes as standard.
