According to Citroen, there have since been some further improvements as a result of more weight reductions and drivetrain improvements to bring the average fuel consumption down from 3.4 to an amazing 2.9L/100km, CO2 emmisions are down accordingly to 78 g/km.

Imagine if Americans all drove Cactii, we wouldn’t hear anything about Iraq or the Middle East.

“Looks like the embryo of a Porsche Cayenne. ”

I’m thinking more mini from the front. But yes I can see a bit of Cayenne love child in there.

But with all that glass, I couldn’t imagine jumping in this car on a 40degs+ day. But then again I don’t think any concept car is suppose to be practical, except the Golf W12.

Now that’s a funky piece of design! I especially like the rear end, but the fron (from that angled shot) reminds me of a Mini.

Those seats don’t look real comfy.

“Cactus by name, cactus by nature…”

Yup, thats going to need a rename if it ever goes into production. Can you imagine the calls to RACV, “Help, my Cactus is Cactus!”

But it looks like the French are suddenly leading the Hybrid/Diesel charge.

Love that front.
Glass roof is a gimmick for auto shows.
Windscreen & A pillar design is brilliant.
Protection from overhead sun for the the driver & steering wheel is the object of its design & yet appears to provide good outward vision.
Hybrid Diesel will be something we will hear more about.3.0l/100KM a future possibility?

It does exactly what a prototype should do; introduce some innovation and some very interesting ideas that can be further refined…. BRILLIANT!

Citroen is back!! :D

Stunning design. Note the speedo . . . the numbers raised on the top of the steering wheel hub which rotate around a fixed pointer to show your speed. Interesting but very impractical in real life. Current analogue display of speed are designed so key speeds (like 110km/h) are known by the vertical position of the speedo needle, visible in peripheral vision!
