Citroën revealed the 2 CV Concept, an all-electric reimagining of its classic compact car, at the Paris Motor Show after teasing it in March.

The move signals Citroën's push into affordable electric vehicles, targeting a lower price point than many current EVs on the market. Citroën's emphasis on simplicity and modularity suggests an attempt to recapture the original 2 CV's reputation for practicality, though the concept's playful details may not survive the transition to a regulated production model. The car won't be sold in the US, keeping its impact focused on European markets.
