   Citroen Unveils Electric 2CV Concept for 2028 Production

   Citroen revealed a 2CV electric concept at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, previewing an affordable city car slated for production in 2028. The vehicle aims for a target price of 15,000 euros, with some estimates placing it around 12,000 to 13,000 pounds or under 17,000 dollars. Designed to compete with low-cost Chinese electric vehicle rivals, the minicar will be manufactured in Europe and features retro styling and a weight of under one ton.
