The retro-styled EV will cost around €15,000 ($17,400) in Europe.

Citroën's most iconic nameplate will stay true to its origins: simple, cheap, and practical.

The reborn 2CV debuts in October at the 2026 Paris Motor Show.

Following a 36-year hiatus, one of the most legendary names in the car industry is officially making a comeback. Citroën has confirmed the 2CV will return this October at the 2026 Paris Motor Show. More than five million units of the original were sold between 1949 and 1990, making it an icon best known for its brilliant simplicity and affordable price tag.

The reborn 2CV is one of 110 new models Stellantis plans to launch by the end of 2030. The announcement is accompanied by a teaser image that clearly shows a retro-inspired design, with a shadowy silhouette alluding to the blockbuster “deux chevaux.” While the long-running economy car used air-cooled, two-cylinder engines, its modern successor will be fully electric.
