Citroën Revives 2CV as Low‑Cost Electric E‑Car

Stellantis is positioning the relaunched 2CV to broaden access to EVs by targeting a sub‑€15,000 price with production slated in Italy from 2028.

Overview

  • Stellantis and Citroën confirmed this week that the 2CV nameplate is returning as a 100% electric small urban car announced at a Stellantis investor event in Michigan.
  • The company has set a target retail price below €15,000 and folded the model into its FaSTLAne 2030 e‑Cars programme aimed at affordable, European‑made EVs.
  • Stellantis assigned mass production of the e‑Cars family to the Pomigliano d'Arco plant in Italy with volume manufacturing planned to start in 2028.
  • Citroën will show the production‑ready silhouette and full details at the Paris Motor Show in October 2026, with technical specs and exact volumes not yet released.
  • The announcement carries strong symbolic value for Vigo because the original 2CV and its AZU van helped launch Citroën’s early production there, and the revival signals how Stellantis plans to counter low‑cost competition by reusing heritage to promote simple, low‑cost EVs.
