Citroën Unveils Elo, a Compact Six-Seat Electric Concept Reimagining the Monospace

Public showing comes next at the Brussels Motor Show in January.

Overview

  • Citroën presented the Elo concept on December 9 at the Stellantis Creative Center in Vélizy as a design-led study rather than a near-term production model.
  • At 4.10 meters long, the battery-electric vehicle packages seating for up to six with a central driver’s position to maximize interior space.
  • Access and flexibility features include four sliding doors with no central pillar, a 1.92 m-wide opening, a rotatable driver seat, removable rear seats, and a stowable inflatable mattress.
  • The prototype uses existing Citroën EV hardware, pairing a 52 kWh e‑Berlingo battery with a 136 hp e‑C4 motor to illustrate feasible packaging.
  • Decathlon contributed Dropstitch mattress technology and Goodyear added wheel-mounted LEDs that indicate tyre pressure status, underscoring the concept’s multi-use focus.
