Citroen unveils affordable electric 2CV revival with classic design

  • Citroën has unveiled the 2CV Concept, previewing an all-electric revival of its iconic city car designed to capture the classic aesthetic and spirit of the original vehicle.
  • The compact electric car measures 3.76 metres in length, weighs approximately one tonne, and incorporates historic design cues such as standalone round headlights, bonnet creases, and a roll-top fabric roof.
  • Citroën is targeting a starting price of 15,000 euros (around £12,700), which would position the vehicle as one of the most affordable electric cars available on the UK market.
  • Features include removable bench seats, a picnic basket-style central storage unit, a detachable radio that functions as a portable speaker, and bespoke tyres developed with Michelin.
  • Although currently revealed as a concept vehicle, there is a strong likelihood that the electric 2CV model will progress into full production soon.
