The Citroen C4 Cactus family has welcomed another special edition, the OneTone,
with the French also adding a 6-speed automatic to the range.
The new C4 Cactus OneTone is available in three
color combinations - Pearlescent Perle White/Dune Airbump/two-tone white alloy
wheels, Metallic Obsidien Black/Black Airbump/black wheels, or Pearlescent
Shark Grey/Grey Airbump/two-tone alloy wheels, and it carries a base price of
€ 22,100 (US$ 20,055) in France.
Customers get the same equipment line
as the Shine grade, along with 17-inch Cross alloy wheels, white roof bars and
side mirror caps in the Pearlescent Perle versions, 'OneTone' badging,
reversing camera, heated front seats, leather/cloth upholstery, and protective
floor mats.
Another novelty meant to keep Citroen's
funky-looking crossover competitive is the addition of a 6-speed automatic
transmission. It's paired exclusively to the PureTech 110 S&S
three-cylinder petrol engine, returning 5.1 l/100 km (55.4 mpg UK / 44.13 mpg
US), and emitting 118 g/km of CO2.
The EAT6 (Efficient Automatic Transmission 6) tranny
features a new-gen converter, developed by Aisin, and promises fast and smooth
gear changes. Additionally, drivers can select between two modes: 'Sport', for
a more dynamic driving style, and 'Snow', for easier start-up and increased
traction in low-grip conditions.
Citroen offers the EAT6 in Feel, Shine, Rip Curl,
OneTone and Feel Business trims, the latter being reserved for companies only,
starting from € 20,400 (US$ 21,815) in
France. In the UK, the auto gearbox comes solely in the Flair trim,
which carries a starting price of £ 19,560 (US$ 24.535). European sales will commence
in February.
