Citroën had already indicated its C-Cactus Concept (2007) to revive, at least in any case in terms of name. Now is the new concept by the mesh of the French just slipped.

The Cactus has quite a cramped Technospace-eyes, a large front seat (a la 2CV, and Airbump-pads that we have been in the videoteaser saw, what that may be. Yes, here we recognize a lot of C-Cactus.

Instead of the heavily sloping roofline, there is the latest concept a little more straight-on, the shape comes the closest in the vicinity of a mini-SUV/crossover. Let that body style just very popular, and Citroën is still no model in this segment, in contrast to the sister Peugeot.

All information about this refreshing (?) cactus-lemon combination, we expect soon to have, this will t.z.t. as an update to this article be added.

Update: the press release is inside. The Cactus is a concept that is a model for the coming year appear C-line of Citroen. The “Airbumps” are to customizable graphical elements of flexible material in which capsules containing air are processed to the bodywork to protect it. A car is designed to be as light and aerodynamic as possible (within the limitations of a crossover, of course). The front seats are based on the idea of a large sofa and there are authentic and natural materials, a chic but relaxed atmosphere should create.

The Cactus features a Hybrid Air powertrain, a combination of compressed air and a PureTech petrol engine, which should provide for a consumption of less than 3 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres. The car is 4.21 m long and 1.75 m wide. The height is at 1.53 metres but there is a ground clearance of 21 centimetres. Jep, this is the harbinger for a crossover. The smooth nose, a look into the future, these lines go back on future models of Citroen.

In terms of interior, we see a slim, floating dashboard, a 7 inch screen which is the default clocks to replace an 8-inch touchscreen for the operation of air-conditioning, audio, navi, etc and up / down shifters combined with a selector on the dashboard in place of a conventional lever. The panoramic roof will let light through but not heat and protects against UV radiation.
