Citroën Sets October 11 Reveal for New 2CV Concept

Teaser images lean on classic 2CV details to suggest an affordable, urban-focused electric reinterpretation while production plans and pricing remain unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Citroën set an official unveiling for 11 October 2026 at 19:00 and will present the vehicle as a concept prototype ahead of the Paris Motor Show.
  • The company has framed the project as a prototype rather than a finished production car, saying the release captures "the spirit of an icon".
  • Published teasers show clear retro cues — narrow steel-style wheels with Michelin tyres, a simple door handle, a round headlight and a C‑pillar window — and a visible design difference of four lug nuts instead of the original three.
  • Multiple outlets report the project is expected to be an electric, city-focused reinterpretation and have floated ideas such as a sub‑€15,000 target price, a possible 2028 launch and Pomigliano d'Arco production, but those items remain unconfirmed.
  • The revival ties into a wider industry trend of reworking classic models as affordable urban EVs and could shift how Stellantis and rivals position low-cost electric cars for city drivers.
