The Citroën 2CV Is Back As An Ultra-Affordable City Car

Citroën is set to bring back the 2CV at the 2026 Paris Motor Show with an ultra-affordable approach that’s intended to feel distinctive without copying the past. The 2CV Concept is positioned as a practical, inexpensive small electric vehicle, and it would sit in the lineup between the Ami and the C3. Despite the retro theme, Citroën says the concept is slightly smaller than the original 2CV: about 3.7 meters long versus roughly 3.8 meters. Target weight is around 2,200 pounds, helping reduce battery size, purchase price, and running costs. The concept also features modular design elements and a “universal digital tire twin” developed with Michelin.
