CITROËN BRINGS AN ICON BACK TO LIFE WITH THE RETURN OF THE 2 CV!

• As part of the Stellantis FaSTLAne 2030 strategic plan, Citroën announced its decision to launch a new model inspired by the spirit of the legendary 2 CV — one of the most iconic vehicles in automotive history.
• More than a revival, this future model represents a new vision of accessible mobility: electric, simple, versatile and highly desirable.
• This popular concept perfectly fits with the brand’s positioning as a leader in accessible electric mobility, offering greater freedom of movement and more value at an affordable price, while maintaining a strong identity and personality.
• At the Paris Motor Show in October 2026, Citroën will reveal more details about this exciting project.

“Reinventing the 2 CV of tomorrow is a huge challenge and responsibility. The original 2 CV was never created to become an icon. It became one because it gave people freedom. The new 2 CV will carry that same spirit forward — not through nostalgia, but by reinventing its simplicity and accessibility for today’s world. Electric. Essential. Affordable. Human. Just like the original once democratized mobility, the new 2 CV will re-enchant electric mobility for a new generation through a highly desirable model. The return of the 2 CV is not simply the return of a legendary name. It is the return of a bold and optimistic idea of progress. A profoundly Citroën idea.“  Xavier Chardon – Citroën CEO.

Poissy, 22 May 2026 – As part of Stellantis’ FaSTLAne strategic plan, Citroën has officially confirmed the integration of a new model into its product line-up, which will capture the spirit of the legendary 2CV Designed to make mobility accessible to all, the Citroën 2 CV transformed everyday life with an approach centered on simplicity, ingenuity and comfort. In a world once again searching for more accessible and meaningful mobility solutions, everything that made the 2 CV unique feels more relevant than ever. With this new model, Citroën will reinterpret that philosophy for a new generation.

Inspired by the spirit of the original — not by nostalgia — the future vehicle will embody the essential values that have always defined the 2 CV: affordability, lightweight design, practicality, versatility and a distinctive character unlike anything else on the road.

True to Citroën’s DNA, the ambition is clear: to imagine the icon of tomorrow while remaining faithful to the original TPV brief that gave birth to the 2 CV. Because true innovation is not about adding more, it is about making life better and focus on what really matters.

Conceived to address the challenges of modern electric mobility and new urban regulations, it will contribute to the emergence of a new category of affordable small electric vehicles, offering greater freedom of movement with no compromise on personality or desirability.

Without waiting for this new model, the ë C3, particularly its urban-range version, already provides a concrete response to today’s mobility challenges.
