Renault has Dacio, a new brand for cheaper cars will also get a Volkswagen. For Citroën, on the other hand, things have undertaken a more classic. C-Elysee, for example, it is perfectly plain Citroën, only that targets customers of the car in some areas require less and therefore styleroom obtain a lower price. It is not a model that would be at the level of a few generations styleroom old cars 'main' brands, but it is a car, in which citroënovci save where they seemed to make sense, styleroom and did not save where this would result in a negative styleroom outcome.
Another step forward in this kind of thinking is the new Citroën C4 Cactus. It is a modern styleroom hybrid (crossover), in which they Citroën engineers, so at least they look (this time we can only look at the car, the wheel will sit for the first time in June), save in interesting ways.
That the C4 Cactus however modern car and did not save the technology that is important, evidenced by the fact that modern engines. Which will be available at Citroen have not yet been released, but will run C4 Cactus modern diesel styleroom technology BlueHDi and modern petrol engines Puretech. Among them, according to unofficial data for the gasoline-liter three-cylinder turbo stood labeled e-THP and 91 'horses' and 1.2 liter e-THP, the most economical C4 Cactus (99'konjski' BlueHDi) will be spent on 100 kilometers around 3.1 liters of fuel and emit just 82 grams of CO2 per kilometer. All engines meet environmental styleroom norms EURO6 and had a Stop & Start system.
In addition to modern engine for this is also thanks to lower vehicle weight. This is just 965 pounds, about 200 pounds less than the classic C4, although you car share a platform with a 2.6 meter long wheelbase value. C4 Cactus with a length of around 416 cm (which is shorter than the Golf, for example, a little more than the Fiat 500L), but the inside is still plenty of room for passengers and the 358-liter trunk. How are thus save? Six pounds, for example, saved so that the rear seats by folding, but not to split - which is essentially the only concern, we have had in Cactusu at the presentation. We suspect that the classical split bench (possibly styleroom in the ratio 50: 50) very soon find itself among the available equipment.
The motor cover and wings are made of aluminum, 11 pounds, styleroom for example, to save on windows in the rear doors, which do not open the classical, but only one side (the "bow-tie"), a container for liquid for the wash of the windscreen may be, because styleroom the nozzles are installed on the wipers and therefore more effective, less ... The list of areas where saving is long.
But what will be the new C4 Cactus most marked, as plastic (made of thermoplastic polyurethane) surface AirBumps, in which air pockets or pockets are housed in the doors and bumpers. Mitigate the impact styleroom on parking or open the door and returned to its original shape. So no need to worry about whether the parking lot of the shopping center next to you parked the fool who does not know how to open the door without them crashed after a neighboring car, and if the maneuvering in the yard notice stake, this will not mean the destruction of the bumper. And because AirBumps available in four colors, are also part of individualisation of the vehicle, as they can be freely mixed with ten exterior colors and three different internal styleroom atmosphere.
Even in the cabin Citroën C4 Cactus are engineers and designers to demonstrate styleroom that they are able to produce Citroen, we have some time to miss: practical, a slight 'reflected', useful, a progressive, short-friendly alternative.
From the cabins are so goodbye classic gauges and classic knob. Replaced by a completely digital meters in front of the driver styleroom (classic styleroom LCD) and LCD sedempalčni in the middle of the dashboard, which has seven 'buttons', sensitive to touch, to a driver-operated styleroom air-conditioning, multimedia, navigation, vehicle settings, telephony, web services and electronic help. Simple, intuitive (at least for the generation of smartphone users), and (again) easier than traditional solutions.
Speaking of the dashboard: this also marks the drawer with flip lid front passenger side. The solution is spacious and practical, but makes it impossible styleroom to install conventional airbag. This, therefore, lies in front of the ceiling, next to the windshield.
Different is also a front bench. Although there are in fact two separate seat, a visual impression sofas, since the seat to look at related (in fact, between the drawer). If a car is an automated manual transmission (ETG Efficient Tronca Gearbox) is in front of them only handbrake, transmission, driver controlled by three simple buttons (P, D, R). Cabin also marked by some interesting details, such as leather handles for closing the doors or panoramic glass roof.
Of course, the fact that the C4 Cactus however, the criteria on the lower part of the price scale, it does not mean that it will not have (standard or for an extra charge) modern
