Citroen Reveals 2CV Fourgonette Concept at Paris Motor Show
The electric van concept is described as a 'passion project' with no confirmed production plans in the short term.
Citroen has unveiled the 2CV Fourgonette Concept, a small electric van based on the recently revealed 2CV Concept, during the Paris Motor Show. The design serves as a modern reinterpretation of the original Fourgonette from the 1950s.
What Happened
The new concept vehicle retains the front bumper to B-pillar design of the passenger version, replacing the rear passenger compartment with a boxy cargo area featuring flat rear doors, similar to the original model. Citroen, now part of the Stellantis group, positioned the vehicle as a functional yet stylish option for urban environments.
Why It Matters
While the passenger 2CV Concept is slated for production in 2028 with an expected starting price of around €15,000, the Fourgonette’s future remains uncertain. Citroen explicitly stated the van is a "passion project" for its designers and "does not preview a future production model in the short term." However, the company noted that success of the regular 2CV could influence a potential commercial version, particularly as European Union E-Car rules may drive demand for affordable, no-frills electric vehicles by the end of the decade. Specific performance and range figures were not disclosed, though the vehicle’s size suggests it is intended for short urban trips.
The Bottom Line
The Citroen 2CV Fourgonette Concept is a design study currently without confirmed production plans, relying on the potential success of the upcoming 2028 2CV passenger model to justify a commercial variant.
