Citroën Recasts 2CV Fourgonnette as a Lightweight Electric Design Study

The concept signals a push toward simple, low-cost urban electric vehicles while key technical specs and any production plan remain unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Citroën unveiled the 2CV Fourgonnette Concept at the Paris Motor Show, presenting it as a design study rather than a production-ready vehicle.
  • The company has not released battery size, range, charging power, payload or cargo-volume figures and gave no timetable for a series Fourgonnette.
  • Citroën says the Fourgonnette is derived from its new 2CV Concept and is built around low weight, pared-back technology and the idea of using a comparatively small battery.
  • The manufacturer separately targets an entry price of about €15,000 for a passenger 2CV and has indicated a possible market launch by 2028 for that model.
  • The Fourgonnette fits a broader Paris 2026 trend of retro-inspired EV concepts and could appeal to inner-city delivery services and tradespeople if Citroën can translate the concept's low-cost, low-complexity approach into real payload and range performance.
