A new report claims that Citroen is reviving its iconic 2CV as a low-cost electric vehicle to compete with models like the Dacia Spring. The project is in its early stages, but the new 2CV EV could be launched in 2028 to mark the 80th anniversary of the original. The report suggests Citroen was inspired by Renault's success with the retro-styled 5 EV.
Citroen is reinventing its classic 2CV for the electric age, according to a report. The project is at an early stage but will probably use the new e-C3’s platform. Renault’s big order bank for the retro 5 EV has caught Stellantis' attention. Citroen is resurrecting its most famous car as an EV.
The report also says Citroen has been moved to act after watching rival Renault score a bullseye with the new 5. The EV-only 5’s retro charm and temptingly low price has made it a hit with buyers, who have snapped up far more of them in the car’s native France than they have of Citroen’s own new, small EV, the e-C3. And to rub salt in the wound, the 5 was recently crowned Europe’s Car Of The Year, relegating the C3/e-C3 to third place in the process.
