Citroen 2CV and Citroen 2CV Furgonette — retro fashion is making a comeback. Prices for the 2CV start at 15,000 euros, in 2028. The van is just an idea.

On the eve of the 2026 Paris Motor Show, Citroen unveiled the concept version of the Citroen 2CV in a passenger car format /actually: Citroen 2 CV/, and two days later it also showed the van version: Citroen 2CV Fourgonette. Both share the same retro style; the Citroen 2CV is set to go on sale in 2028 at a starting price of 15,000 euros, equivalent to around 66,000 Polish zlotys today. The van is described as a “design study, or more precisely: a project born from passion,” meaning it has no immediate prospects for commercialization.

Citroen 2CV, the concept that will go into production

We already know a bit about the successors to the historic 2CV: the concept is a small A-segment vehicle just 3.76 meters long, set to go into production in Europe within two years. It should start at the mentioned 15,000 euros, which even in two years will be enough for a battery similar to that of the first Nissan Leaf, around 24 (21) kWh. An interesting detail is the homologation: the car is expected to have the M1E category, meaning it will fall under regulations designed for E-Cars and small locally produced electric vehicles.

The launch date is no coincidence; 2028 marks exactly 80 years since the first Citroen 2CV was unveiled at the Paris auto show in 1948. The new Citroen 2CV is expected to weigh just 1 ton, which adds further skepticism regarding the predicted battery capacity and range. The interior, however, is optimistic: featuring gauges on the dashboard, bubble-shaped seats, and a pull-out basket that serves as a storage compartment.

Citroen 2CV Fourgonette

The Citroen 2CV Fourgonette /actually: Citroen 2 CV Fourgonette/ evokes even more memories of old French films. This gray, boxy, vintage work vehicle used by many shopkeepers has been given a modern makeover. This time it isn’t even a concept car for production, at least not in the near future.

Reverting to old designs is particularly striking here in Paris. While Chinese manufacturers—there are an overwhelming number of them—present modern models designed according to the best European standards, sometimes even homogeneous and indistinguishable in their avant-garde style, Volkswagen, Renault, or Citroen turn to nostalgic memories from years past. And it works (video is loading; refresh if it’s not visible yet):
