A compact yet ultra-smart electric concept that places use, modularity, and well-being at the heart of tomorrow’s mobility.
What if the future of electric cars was no longer about technological escalation or record autonomy, but about intelligent use? By unveiling the ELO concept in Brussels, Citroën sketches a bold response that is deeply rooted in the evolution of our lifestyles. More than just a concept car, ELO presents itself as a true rolling laboratory, designed for responsible, accessible, and human mobility.
Compact on paper at 4.10 meters long, ELO surprises with its spaciousness. Its 100% electric platform is utilized with rare ingenuity to offer a modular space worthy of a mobile living room. Up to six people can sit inside, but the real revolution lies in its versatility: workspace, relaxation area, sleeping space for two, home theater, or even a mobile energy source. Here, the car adapts to the user, not the other way around.
Small is the new Big
The interior architecture disrupts established norms. The central driving position, combined with a 180° panoramic windshield, offers unprecedented visibility and a heightened sense of openness. The rotating driver’s seat transforms the cabin into a space for communication or remote work, while rear passengers enjoy an area rarely seen in this segment. The standard model offers four seats, expandable to six with just a few gestures.
Citroën does not settle for a charming concept: ELO relies on tangible partnerships with Goodyear and Decathlon to integrate durable, practical, and innovative materials designed for intensive and daily use. This approach is consistent with the brand’s DNA, historically focused on comfort and ingenuity.

A central question remains: Does ELO truly herald the electric car of the future, or does it remain an idealistic manifesto? While it does not predict a production model in the short term, ELO has the merit of placing the automobile back at the heart of social life, far from being merely a performance object. An optimistic and refreshing vision that reminds us that “small” can indeed become “big” when thoughtfully designed.
