Citroën unveils electric 2CV concept, with a target price below €15,000
Citroën has unveiled a modern, fully electric version of its classic 2CV at the 2026 Paris Motor Show in Paris.
The 3.76-metre concept previews a production car that the company expects around 2028.
Citroën says the future model will start at €15,000 before any subsidies.
The company aims to make it an affordable small car, rather than position it as a more upmarket retro model.
Its rounded shape and several design details recall the original 2CV, which was first presented in 1948 and remained in production until 1990.
The simple interior also nods to the original car’s practical brief, including storage shaped to hold eggs.
The concept is electric and produces no emissions while driving; Citroën has not provided further details about the production model in the available information.
Citroën has unveiled the all-electric 2CV Concept, previewing a production model planned for 2028.
The company says the car will cost around €15,000, while BFM Business reports a starting price below that amount.
The concept is 3.76 metres long and is intended as a simple, affordable electric city car.
Citroën plans to build the production car in Europe.
Battery capacity, range and charging speeds have not been announced.

Ce qu'il faut qu'on fasse, c'est trois choses: c'est parler au portefeuille - cette nouvelle 2CV va démarrer à 15.000 euros -, c'est parler au cerveau - elle sera zéro émission -, et puis c'est surtout parler au cœur
On a respecté le concept d’origine, “quatre roues sous un parapluie”. Mais on l’a poussé plus loin à l’intérieur de la voiture.
On a des yeux qui sont beaucoup plus rapprochés que sur des voitures normales et ce qui nous donne ce côté très 2CV.
Quand je travaille maintenant sur la nouvelle "Deudeuche", je ressens presque la même émotion que quand je conduisais ma vieille 2CV. J’adore ça
