Overview
- Citroën formally announced the 2CV name and showed a shadowed preview during Stellantis’s investor day on May 21, 2026, saying the model will be fully electric and target a starting price below €15,000.
- Stellantis has placed the 2CV inside its FaSTLAne/E‑Car programme and plans a concept reveal at the Paris Motor Show in October 2026 with series production aimed to begin in 2028 at Pomigliano d’Arco, Italy.
- The company says the car will be made in Europe to qualify for nascent EU rules and incentives for small local EVs and will share a bespoke low‑cost ‘E‑Car’ architecture with a Fiat sibling.
- Journalists and analysts expect cost‑led tradeoffs to hit the base model, likely including modest power, limited range from a small LFP battery pack and pared‑back features to keep the price under €15,000.
- If delivered, the 2CV could widen access to new EV ownership for price‑sensitive buyers and pressure rivals in Europe’s low‑cost segment while relying on partners such as Leapmotor and CATL to hit costs and local supply targets.
