Citroën to launch electric 2CV by 2026 for under €15,000

Stellantis announced that the iconic Citroën 2CV will return as an electric compact car, targeting a 2026 market introduction. The model is planned to be priced below €15,000, aiming at affordable city mobility. Design cues will retain the classic silhouette while incorporating modern LED lighting and a streamlined interior aimed at younger buyers. Technical specifications are expected to include around 70 hp, a range of roughly 200 km and a length of about 3.6 m, fitting the new EU M1e category for low‑cost electric vehicles. Production is slated for Stellantis’ plant in Pomigliano d’Arco, Italy, alongside the upcoming Fiat Panda EV, and the vehicle will compete with other small electric cars such as the Renault‑5 and Renault‑4 re‑interpretations.

The announcement follows months of speculation and unofficial AI‑generated renders circulating online, confirming that the brand intends to revive the beloved “Papera” with a modern electric powertrain while preserving its historic charm.
