Stellantis has announced the revival of the Citroën 2CV as an electric model, part of its FaSTLane 2030 strategic plan to produce affordable, small urban electric vehicles. Production is expected to begin in 2028 at the Pomigliano d’Arco plant near Naples using the E-Car platform.

At the 2026 Paris Motor Show, Citroën officially unveiled the 2CV Concept, an electric prototype designed to preview the upcoming production model. Measuring 3.76 meters in length, the new vehicle is slightly smaller than the original 2CV. The design balances nostalgic cues with modern requirements, featuring a manually operable roll roof, round LED headlights on curved fenders, and visible windshield wipers. The vehicle is intended to be lightweight, with a target weight of approximately one tonne. This reduction in mass is intended to allow for smaller, more cost-effective batteries.

In addition to the passenger car, Citroën showcased the 2CV Fourgonnette, a design study for an electric light commercial vehicle inspired by original post-war delivery vans. Both concepts emphasize a retro-modern aesthetic, blending classic visual cues with contemporary digital solutions and sustainable materials.

Positioned between the Citroën Ami and C3, the model aims to democratize electromobility with a target starting price of under 15,000 euros. CEO Xavier Charandon stated the project aims to ‘restore purchasing power for European consumers’ by providing a simple, intuitive, and affordable electric vehicle. He further noted that the goal is not to merely copy the past, but to rediscover the qualities that made the original unique to make electric mobility ‘more human and attractive’. The launch of the production version in 2028 will mark 80 years since the debut of the original 1948 2CV.
