Unveiling the All-Electric Citroën Model After 40 Years

Unveiling the All-Electric Citroën Model After 40 Years
Citroën introduced the electric concept of the 2CV with a target price of €15,000; this lightweight urban hatchback is expected to enter the European market in 2028.
With the introduction of the 2CV concept at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, Citroën has revived the name of one of its most famous cars in history. The car, known as the "Ami", is returning this time as a small, all-electric urban hatchback; a vehicle that aims to combine the simplicity, low weight, and affordable price of the original model with modern technologies. The production version is expected to hit the market in 2028.
Despite modern technologies, the new 2CV is shorter than the original model. The car's length is reported to be about 3.7 meters, while the old 2CV was about 3.8 meters long.
The target weight is also around 1,000 kilograms; a factor that allows Citroën to build a suitable vehicle for daily use without using a very large battery, keeping costs down.
The design is entirely inspired by the classic 2CV, but it is not intended to be an exact replica of the old car. The curved roof, prominent fenders, relatively vertical windshield, and round headlights maintain its connection to the old Ami. At the same time, LED lights, 19-inch steel wheels, and more modern details bring the car's appearance to 2026.
Citroën has not yet announced the battery capacity, motor power, driving range, and charging speed of the production version; what is currently clear is that the car will focus on low weight and urban use.
Citroën states that the production version could be offered at a base price of around €15,000; a figure that, if realized, would make it one of the cheapest electric cars in Europe. Production will take place in Europe, and the car's launch is targeted for 2028; there is even a possibility that the unveiling of the final version will take place at the Paris Motor Show that year, exactly 80 years after the introduction of the 2CV in 1948.
