The legendary car is returning.

After the successful reincarnation of Renault icons, Citroen has decided on the same recipe – the new 2CV is coming.

That's how Citroen will reincarnate the most iconic car of all time. No, we're not referring to the iconic DS, but the 2CV. Don't count on a fashion-conscious model like the Pluriel, for example, but a car that's noticeably closer (in intent) to the original.

In this millennium, the 2CV five becomes a work vehicle, but with an electric motor. It will be an interesting city car with a retro look, but also very affordable. It is said that it can compete with the cheapest cars on the market, such as the Dacia Spring and upcoming Chinese models, in terms of price.


The project is still in its early stages, but it is speculated that it will use the platform of the recently introduced Citroen e-C3. Stellantis seems to have been surprised by the interest in Renault's retro model, the new 5EV, so development could accelerate just in time for the model's 80th anniversary. Translated, in 2028 the reincarnated 2CV would hit the streets.

This possibility has also been reported coach British, who claims that a senior source from Citroen has confirmed that the project is being implemented, although it is still in the early stages.

The report also says that Citroen took action after seeing rival Renault score a perfect score with its new “five.” At the same time, Renault’s new product proved to be more successful in the market than the e-C3, which also lagged behind in the European Car of the Year election.

We recall that from 1948 to 1990, over 3.8 million copies of the 2CV model were produced. While other brands have introduced a number of retro models in the past, the little 2CV has been left in the shadows. It's a shame, because this particular model has one of the most loyal and numerous followers. /Telegraph/
