With limited sales and a timid presence on the market in 2024, the Citroën C4 Cactus is no longer an official option, marking the end of the compact SUV in Brazil.

What was already on the radar has come true: the Citroën C4 Cactus is no longer part of the brand's official portfolio in Brazil. After a 2024 with only 1.017 units sold until the end of November, the compact SUV leaves the scene, ending its six-year journey without great sales success, but leaving a legacy of boldness and style.

Farewell to the Citroën C4 Cactus It was already a rumor that was floating around the market. Even though the compact SUV was present until recently in the brand's website configurator, Stellantis, the group that controls Citroën, has finally confirmed the withdrawal of the model from the Brazilian line-up. Without the presence of the C4 Cactus, the strategy will now focus on the C3 family, including the Aircross and Basalt SUVs.

Citroën compact SUV does not sell well in Brazil

This Citroën comes to an end in Brazil: compact SUV ends 2024 with only 1.017 units sold and disappears from the national market!

Throughout 2024, the numbers dwindled: of the 1.017 units sold, the best performance occurred in January, with 193 registrations. From then on, sales of the compact SUV plummeted until reaching just 24 units last month. In 2023, the scenario was no longer encouraging: only 1.831 units had been sold.

In a statement, Stellantis highlighted the model's role: “The Citroën C4 Cactus has become a benchmark in boldness, design and performance, and has built a legacy that will be continued by the Basalt and Aircross SUVs.” According to the group, the model will continue to be sold in importing countries, but no longer here.

End of Cactus

With the end of the Cactus, the 1.6 engines in the Brazilian versions also come to an end, whether they are naturally aspirated with up to 120 hp or turbocharged with up to 173 hp. This line of engines, however, continues in production to supply neighboring markets where the compact SUV is still breathing.

Throughout its history, the Citroën C4 Cactus won over the critics for its bold look, good interior space and balanced handling. Without it, Citroën opens a new phase in the country, focusing on products more aligned with the preferences of the local public.
