Why buy a used Citroen C4 Cactus

This refreshing (and now discontinued) small family SUV stands out with its lightweight design and distinctive styling. The C4 Cactus delivers impressive fuel efficiency and looks like nothing else on the road – which you’ll either love or hate. All used Citroen C4 Cactus models offer great value - this quirky SUV combines practicality with affordability, making it an excellent choice for small families or couples seeking something different from conventional options.

Popular Citroen C4 Cactus trims for sale at Motorpoint

The majority of C4 Cactuses – or should that be Cacti? – are offered in one of two trim levels:

  • Feel – these entry-level models get alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control and Apple CarPlay connectivity
  • Flair – rear parking sensors, reversing camera, panoramic sunroof, built-in navigation

Owning a Citroen C4 Cactus

The C4 Cactus offers excellent ownership credentials with impressive fuel economy and reasonable running costs. The cabin is a mix of hard plastics and a stripped-back, slightly futuristic design. While the infotainment system can be slightly slow to respond, standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity keeps you connected.

Space for adults is more than adequate, though not quite as generous as larger SUVs. The boot offers significantly more room than traditional hatchbacks, though the opening could be wider for maximum practicality. The C4 Cactus suits young families, first-time SUV buyers, and anyone wanting distinctive styling without premium price tags.

The driving experience emphasises comfort over sportiness, with a composed ride quality that handles city streets and longer journeys with equal competence.

Other models you may be interested in

Nothing compares to the C4 Cactus in terms of quirkiness, but cars such as the Renault Captur, Nissan Juke, and Peugeot 2008 offer similar or slightly more space, and you’ll find more recent examples of these than the Cactus.

Citroen C4 Cactus FAQs

There’s just one version of the C4 Cactus. It’s a five-door, five-seat compact SUV with a hatchback-style boot opening. It’s a very similar size to Citroen’s slightly newer C3 Aircross SUV and sits beneath the larger C5 Aircross in the lineup.

The C4 Cactus is a little less than 4.2 metres long placing it squarely in the same range as rivals including the Volkswagen T-Cross, SEAT Arona, Skoda Kamiq, Kia Stonic and Ford EcoSport. That length means its footprint is a little larger than small hatches like the Volkswagen Polo but not quite as long as family hatchbacks like the Ford Focus.

Passenger space in the C4 Cactus is reasonably good, with enough room in the front and rear for four adults to fit comfortably. Putting three across the rear bench will work for shorter trips but you’ll quickly be hearing complaints about elbow room. Boot space is on-par with the C4 Cactus’s rivals with enough room for at least two large suitcases.

You’re limited to just four engine choices for the C4 Cactus – two petrols and two diesels. Thanks to the car’s impressively low weight, even the basic options offer good performance and efficiency so simply pick the version you like best.

Citroen cars don't have a great reputation for reliability, but customer perception plays a role in owner surveys and the vast majority of cars will prove to be dependable. If you're in doubt, or are worried you'll be one of the unlucky ones, consider taking out an extended warranty.

If you're a bit bored of the usual compact hatchback offerings, the quirky C4 Cactus will feel like a breath of fresh air. It's focused on comfort, with soft seats and supple suspension that'll take the edge off your local neighbourhood potholes. It looks fun, is decently spacious and it's economical, so there's a lot to like in the C4 Cactus.

No, all C4 Cactuses are front-wheel drive – but a good set of winter tyres will provide excellent grip in wintry weather without the fuel economy penalty that usually comes with 4x4s.
