Classic Citroen 2 CV Returns As Modern EV For 2028

Citroen has officially unveiled the 2 CV Concept at the 2026 Paris Motor Show , brilliantly reimagining its iconic 1948 vehicle as a modern, compact electric car . Measuring just 12.34 ft (3.76 metres)in length, this new electric vehicle is actually shorter than its historic predecessor, prioritizing lightweight construction, affordability, and everyday practicality ahead of a planned production rollout slated for 2028 . The exterior design retains the original cars beloved rounded proportions, vertical windscreen, and flowing roofline while introducing contemporary updates such as circular LED headlights , retro-inspired 18-inch steel wheels , a vibrant Infra Red bodywork , and a manually retractable fabric roof .

The interior also incorporates clever, playful touches like a removable front bench seat designed for outdoor picnics, a detachable Radion portable speaker , a 3D-printed storage basket , and pedal illustrations depicting a hare and a tortoise .
