The die seems to be cast for him. Citroën C4 Cactus. In marketing, products that succeed in a short period of time and then cease to be of interest to the public are called "bluff". Well, the little all way Gallic seems to have stayed at that. Its launch was a success, as the market reacted very well to it. However, before receiving the makeover, and behind him, it seems that they have turned their backs on him.
This fact has been noted, above all, in how it has been surpassed in sales by other models of the house, such as the C3. Being so, the hearsay They went to work some time ago to announce that they would not have a generational change. The Citroën C4 Cactus it would be replaced by a model that would have nothing to do with it. In this case, your space in the brand would be occupied by a XNUMX% electric urban. However, we already know what will really happen.
The relief of the Citroën C4 Cactus will maintain its originality
Well, the same Xavier Peugeot, product manager of Citroën, has confirmed that the C4 Cactus It will disappear after this generation. Instead, the brand's engineers are working on a completely different model. In fact, they will return to conventional C-segment, the one they should not have abandoned when they killed the C4 lifelong. However, they will do it with a risky proposal, although according to the history of the brand.
According to Xavier Peugeot, the new Citroën C4 will have a polarizing design that will live up to the brand's original spirit. With this strategy, they seek to create a different and original model that offers something different from its rivals. Despite this information, Peugeot has not offered more details about the work being carried out by the house of the double chevron. However, several questions arise that, we believe, urgently need to be answered.
First: When will the Citroën C4 Cactus take over? It is speculated that in 2020 or 2021, although nothing is certain. Second: the Villaverde center will produce a new electric model around this time, Will this be the urban one that will replace the C4 Cactus in the lower area? And finally, will they be able to recover the lost place after several years out of the C segment and with increasingly better established rivals? We will have to wait for events to unfold, but the possible answers seem very exciting.
