Citroën resucita el mítico 2 CV y asegura que seguirá siendo "sencillo, ligero y muy barato"

Citroën has officially resurrected the legendary 2 CV, a model famously known as "Dos caballos" in Spain, marking a return of one of Europe's most emblematic and cherished vehicles. The French automaker unveiled the new Citroën 2 CV Concept, an electric urban car, during the Paris Motor Show on Monday, alongside five other concept cars from Alfa Romeo, DS Automobiles, Fiat, Opel, and Peugeot.

However, Citroën appears to be the only brand with a realistic chance of seeing its model enter series production, priced at around 15,000 euros. According to Citroën, the new two-seater aims to combine accessibility, simplicity, and ingenuity while redefining mobility as fun and joyful. Although designed to mirror the spirit of the original 1948 model, the concept vehicle is fully electric and manufactured in Europe, making it affordable.

The new Citroën 2 CV Concept measures just 3.76 meters in length, smaller than the original 2 CV, emphasizing its ease of use and urban electric mobility. Weighing nearly as much as the Fiat 500, the car promises to be lightweight and efficient. Citroën has not disclosed details on the power output or range of the production model, but the company envisions several versions depending on battery capacity.

The interior is simple and minimalistic, embodying the brand's commitment to making electric mobility accessible, human, and desirable. The Citroën 2 CV Concept seats sit inside the futuristic design, promising a return to the magic of electric mobility. The presentation of the six prototypes took place at the Paris Motor Show in the Palais des Congrès Puerta de Versalles from October 12th to 18th.

The six vehicles represent Stellantis' ambitious strategy, FaSTLAne 2030, which aims to shape the future of mobility through iconic brands, attractive design, and innovative technology.
