The new special edition is set apart by Rip Curl graphics on the wings and rear quarter lights, white roof rails and door mirrors, orange trim on the speakers and carpet mats, and orange seatbelts.
Rip Curl C4 Cactuses are also the first to get Citroen’s Grip Control traction control system. With different modes for terrain such as snow, mud and sand, the system provides a modicum of off-road capability without adding four-wheel drive.
Prices start from £18,480 and for that you get the 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine with 109bhp and a five-speed manual gearbox; a combination which allows 0-62mph in 9.3 seconds and an official fuel economy figure of 65.7mpg.

For an extra £720, customers can upgrade to the 99bhp 1.6-litre BlueHDi diesel engine, which can return up to 80.7mpg and boasts 95g/km CO2 emissions.
