The Citroën 2CV is an upcoming battery-electric city car developed by Citroën and scheduled to enter production in 2028. Officially announced for revival after a 36-year hiatus, the model is intended as a modern reinterpretation of the original Citroën 2CV, which was produced between 1949 and 1990.
The modern 2CV was confirmed by Citroën ahead of its planned public debut at the 2026 Paris Motor Show. Unlike the original model, which was powered by air-cooled two-cylinder engines, the new 2CV will be fully electric.
Overview The revived 2CV forms part of Stellantis' broader plan to introduce 110 new vehicle models by 2030. It is also included in the company's "E-Car" initiative, which focuses on developing low-cost electric vehicles for the European market. According to Citroën, the new model is intended to embody the key characteristics that defined the original 2CV, including affordability, lightweight construction, versatility, and a distinctive design.
Ahead of the model’s unveiling, Citroën released teaser images in May 2026 that point to a design influenced by the historic 2CV, featuring a silhouette with retro-inspired elements.
Launch The 2CV marketing campaign is inspired by a French board game, and five challenges will be launched on Instagram in the lead-up to the new car’s unveiling.
