Citroën 2CV Electric: What Will the €15,000 Model Really Look Like?

The Citroën 2 CV Concept turns heads at the Paris Motor Show. But between this electric Deuche and the one expected in 2028, some fanciful elements may disappear. What will remain to aim for a price close to 15,000 euros?

Good news: the future Citroën 2CV electric car is expected to retain most of its personality. A rounded roof, generous fenders, a ribbed hood, and a sloping rear compose an instantly recognizable silhouette. It is hard to imagine Citroën sacrificing these elements, which are specifically designed to turn nostalgia into orders.

The dimensions should also remain reasonable. At 3.76 meters, the concept signals a small car that regains a sense of proportion. The independently replaceable bumpers represent another serious avenue: Citroën presents them as a solution designed to facilitate repairs. This is a great idea that serves more than just to decorate a stand.

A less extravagant Deuche inside

It is in the cabin that the transition to cost efficiency may temper the designers’ ambitions. A removable front bench, a 3D-printed storage basket, wooden accents, and specially molded compartments for carrying eggs: the concept joyfully cultivates its heritage.

These features are not officially off the table. However, their full adoption seems uncertain in a car aiming for such a tight price target. More conventional storage options and traditional seating appear to be more compatible with this objective. The same question arises for the 18-inch wheels and their specific tires: appealing under the spotlight, but less obvious on an economical version.

The digital plate displaying the Deuche’s nicknames is clearly a spectacle.

Some surprises might remain

However, caution should be exercised to avoid dismissing everything! Radioën, the removable car radio that transforms into a portable speaker, is a conceivable accessory idea. The fabric sunroof also seems plausible, possibly as an option. However, nothing confirms their presence on the marketed car.

What remains is the main focus: Citroën aims for European manufacturing, a weight around a ton, and a price close to 15,000 euros. Battery, power, and charging details are yet to be defined.

The real challenge would therefore be to keep the concept’s charm without making the buyer grimace in front of the order form. After all, a 2CV should primarily remain accessible.
