With Limited Sales and Timid Presence in the Market in 2024, the Citroën C4 Cactus Ceases to Be an Official Option, Marking the End of the Compact SUV in Brazil.

What was already on the radar has materialized: 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 by the end of November, the compact SUV exits the scene, concluding its six-year journey without great success in sales, but leaving a legacy of boldness and style.

The farewell of the Citroën C4 Cactus was already a rumor hovering over the market. Even with the compact SUV present until recently in the brand’s site configurator, Stellantis, the group that controls Citroën, finally confirmed the model’s removal from the Brazilian line-up. Without the presence of the C4 Cactus, the strategy now focuses on the C3 family, including the SUVs Aircross and Basalt.

Throughout 2024, the numbers dwindled: of the 1,017 units sold, the best performance occurred in January, with 193 registrations. From there, sales of the compact SUV plummeted to just 24 units last month. In 2023, the scenario was already unpromising: only 1,831 units had been sold.

End of the Cactus

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

Throughout its trajectory, the Citroën C4 Cactus gained critical acclaim for its bold design, good interior space, and balanced handling. Without it, Citroën opens a new phase in the country, focusing on products more aligned with local consumer preferences.

End of the Cactus

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

New York launched its first urban forest plan because the city could have 35 days above 35°C per year by the 2050s, and the temperature difference between neighborhoods with and without trees already reaches 12 degrees today.

NASA will launch a new space telescope in September that will do in just one year what the Hubble would take 2,000 years to complete, and its field of view is 100 times larger than the James Webb’s, creating the largest atlas of the universe ever made.

While China develops giant batteries and magnetic levitation trains, Brazil still hasn’t managed to get the bullet train between São Paulo and Rio off the ground, and now receives R$ 4 billion from Germany for an energy transition that the specialist says is behind schedule in its execution.
