Citroën has announced the return of the iconic 2CV in the form of an electric vehicle priced at 15,000 euros. The news was shared during the FaSTLAne conference, where Stellantis, the parent company of Citroën, outlined its new strategy for the automotive industry. The electric 2CV concept will be officially unveiled on October 11 and then presented to the public on October 12 at the opening of the Paris Motor Show. A teaser campaign has already started on Instagram, with the first images showing that this electric version will closely resemble the original 2CV, one of France’s most beloved cars. The design includes rounded headlights that extend from the body, a bulged and striped hood, an "umbrella" roof with turn signals positioned high on the vehicle, swiveling door handles, and an orange body color, a nod to the classic 2CV Spot model. While the design is a tribute to the original, it will include modern features such as LED headlights and wheels with Michelin branding on the tires. The production version is expected to be available by 2028, with a starting price lower than 15,000 euros. This electric 2CV is part of Stellantis’ broader E-Car project, which aims to develop affordable electric city cars. A similar model is expected from Fiat, with a third brand to be announced later. The exact positioning of these vehicles within Stellantis’ lineup is still being determined. The company is also looking to benefit from a new category of electric vehicles, the M1E, currently being discussed by the European Commission. This category could allow for the production of small electric cars in Europe with specific regulations. Fiat’s head has mentioned plans for electric cars priced at 10,000 and 15,000 euros, suggesting a focus on affordability. Stellantis might also follow the example of Dacia’s Hipster, which was classified as a heavy quadricycle (category L7e), allowing for relaxed safety standards in exchange for a speed limit of 90 km/h. However, one concern remains: if the concept car is too appealing but technically difficult to produce in large quantities, it could lead to customer disappointment when the final version is released, which may not match the excitement generated by the concept.
