Xavier Chardon, Citroën CEO, stated reinventing the 2CV of tomorrow is a huge challenge and responsibility.
The original 2CV was never created to become an icon but became one because it gave people freedom. The new 2CV will carry that same spirit forward—not through nostalgia, but by reinventing its simplicity and accessibility for today’s world: electric, essential, affordable, human. Just as the original democratized mobility, the new 2CV will re-enchant electric mobility for a new generation through a highly desirable model. The return of the 2CV is not simply the return of a legendary name but the return of a bold and optimistic idea of progress—a profoundly Citroën idea.
Official Confirmation Within Stellantis Strategic Framework
Poissy, May 22, 2026 – As part of Stellantis‘ FaSTLAne strategic plan, Citroën officially confirmed integration of a new model into its product lineup, which will capture the spirit of the legendary 2CV. Designed to make mobility accessible to all, the Citroën 2CV transformed everyday life with an approach centered on simplicity, ingenuity, and comfort.
In a world once again searching for more accessible and meaningful mobility solutions, everything that made the 2CV unique feels more relevant than ever. With this new model, Citroën will reinterpret that philosophy for a new generation.
Core Values Drive Design Direction
Inspired by the spirit of the original—not by nostalgia—the future vehicle will embody essential values that have always defined the 2CV: affordability, lightweight design, practicality, versatility, and distinctive character unlike anything else on the road.
True to Citroën’s DNA, the ambition is clear: to imagine the icon of tomorrow while remaining faithful to the original TPV brief that gave birth to the 2CV. True innovation is not about adding more but about making life better and focusing on what really matters.
Citroen 2CV, Addressing Modern Electric Mobility Challenges
Conceived to address challenges of modern electric mobility and new urban regulations, it will contribute to emergence of a new category of affordable small electric vehicles, offering greater freedom of movement with no compromise on personality or desirability.
Without waiting for this new model, the ë-C3, particularly its urban-range version, already provides concrete response to today’s mobility challenges.
