Citroën unveils electric 2 CV Concept, targets €15,000 production model

Electric 2 CV Concept Revealed

Citroën showcased its electric 2 CV Concept at the Paris Motor Show, following earlier teasers. This concept car revives the design language of the original 2 CV, first introduced in 1948.

Production Plans and Pricing

While currently a concept, Citroën announced plans for a production model inspired by the 2 CV Concept. This electric vehicle is expected to launch within the next two years with a target starting price of 15,000 euros (approximately $16,800).

Design and Interior Features

The 2 CV Concept incorporates modern updates while retaining the original's emphasis on affordability, lightness, practicality, and versatility. Interior features include recessed door panels, wide seats, a removable front seat, a detachable radio, and a removable storage basket instead of a center console. The dashboard is replaced by a single stem supporting the steering wheel, control lever, paddle-shift gear selector, and an eight-inch touchscreen.

Future Production Model Adjustments

Many conceptual features may not appear in the final production model due to automotive regulations. Citroën stated its intention to create a "more accessible, lighter and more essential electric car" for the market version of the 2 CV Concept. Citroën vehicles are not sold in the United States.
