There seem to be upcoming C4 cactus changes... so trying to find out all possible information about that. So far that's what is known:

More, including interior and split rear seats

Here are some informations about rear seats split (possibly apply to EU versions, too):

"The split/folding seat design prompted by our tether requirements has resulted in the design becoming a global offering from next year."

Not much details. Has anyone seen more information about other changes beside this one?

That was one thing I saw mentioned loads in reviews as a bad point (no split rear seats) but I cannot see what all the fuss is about - it does not bother me at all

Interesting seems that it will become standard (split folding seats) in production next month.

 

[visorfett]

We originally didn't have it due to cost and weight issues. However, it's a requirement for Australia. Maybe due to additional isofix mounts. (not sure), so I guess they are just upgrading every one along with the Australian changes.

So what essential does one put in the restricted L-shaped space next to the third passenger?

I checked with my dealer today about the new split rear folding seats. He confirmed he had heard the new rear seats were going to the production line in November but he simply does not know if they will be installed into my car. He also indicated they will only find out when the car is delivered.

Not essential for me but would be a nice to have... Will keep you posted on the outcome.

Cheers,

Mike

Mentioned on other threads changes also include:

New Jelly Red colour (flat)
Red interior option
Chrome wing mirrors
Detailing decal sets

As a suggestion and from experience of contributing to other car related forums, it might be worth putting together a small sticky about the 2016 revision and updates compared to the initial release.

Invariably we will get people arriving to the forum asking questions if/should their potential new/second hand purchase have xyz fitted or not.

As a thought, the current Cactus is based on the fact that they've stripped out unnessesary equipment to get the weight down. I did read a list of items they took out and it was surprising how heavy each item was. Now I'm wondering where this could end up if the 'split/fold seat' does go ahead. Will it lead to other add ons, which in turn would gradually put the weight back up and defeat the object of keeping the weight down and getting the fuel consumption down as a result. Hmmm!! What do you think?

 

[geoffus]

Chrome wing mirrors ??? :?

 

[cactusjack]

Really not refering to chromed mirrors as weight will probably be measured in gramms. Some of the items i.e rear window mechanisms were approx 6kg, so they ditched those in favour of hinged. I think you've totally missed my point

The split folding rear bench is an interesting one if as has been mentioned it becomes a standard feature and even more interesting to see how my car ends up! Expecting delivery (after epic wait) start of november.

To be honest I'm happy with either, obviously I bought the car knowing the rear had a full bench. It does however make the car for me slightly more versitile on those few times a year you need to carry one of the children, the wife and a big box (probably from Ikea!)

 

[Rattlegun]

Did anyone else notice that the strap detail, second glovebox latch detail and non slip bumps have gone off the version in the pics?

 

[MaroonBells]

Another option I have spotted is Blue Mica interior.

"Mica Blue Summertime" is available in 2015 in Poland for example (so not new).

2016 variant:

and indeed, no USB in box anymore :-(
