According to Citroen CEO Vincent Cobee, the brand’s successor to the C4 Cactus will be presented this June, when it will go on sale immediately. Its showroom arrival however will take place either in September or October.
Cobee says that the C4 Cactus replacement will boast an entirely new aesthetic and while the model doesn’t have a name yet, we can look forward to it having a fully-electric option, to go with its gasoline and diesel range, reports Autonews Europe.
This new model will be the first fully-electric compact car to sit on PSA’s CMP multienergy platform (although an extended version), which also underpins the likes of the Peugeot 208 and 2008.

Regarding its looks, spy images indicate that this will be a compact crossover with a sloping roofline and a high tailgate design.
“The [compact] segment is at the heart of the European market, but it’s a segment that doesn’t change much,” said Cobee, who added that the C4 will stand out by being instantly recognizable as a Citroen.
“The vehicle will launch a new style identity,” added the CEO. “It will bring a new look to the segment.”
Citroen wants the C4 to be an ideal car for middle-class families who need space, comfort and visibility.
The C4 Cactus was launched back in 2014 and restyled in 2017, when Citroen removed its “air bumps” door protection feature in order to make it less quirky. As for the C4 nameplate (sans Cactus), that used to be a five-door Golf-rivaling hatchback, which was discontinued back in 2018.
