Citroen is set to take center stage at the Paris auto show with a groundbreaking 2CV concept, exploring the potential of inexpensive electric vehicles. The imagery powerfully illustrates what this future could look like. Long-standing speculation about a “revival” of the iconic Citroen 2CV, a model that made automobiles accessible to many after World War II, has now become a reality.
The new Citroen CEO, Xavier Chardon, has officially sanctioned the concept and scheduled its public debut for October. This strategic move aims to capitalize on forthcoming regulations being drafted by the European Commission, designed to promote electric cars within urban environments. The Citroen design team, expertly guided by Pierre Leclercq, is dedicating significant effort to the vehicle’s development.
This ambitious project follows the considerable success of the “reborn” Renault 5, which has already garnered 120,000 orders and established itself as the top-selling electric car. The Citroen’s electric initiative reflects a commitment to innovation and affordability, aligning with current market demands and regulatory shifts. The new Citroen 2CV concept promises to be a significant event.
