FRANCE Poissy, 29th May 2025: Citroën’s all-electric Ami Buggy has received a makeover, now available in Night Sepia colour, along with three new colour packs: Spicy, Icy, and Minty. The Ami Buggy, which was first introduced at the end of the previous year, has a 75-kilometre range and requires four hours to recharge from a standard outlet.
In certain nations, people as young as 14 are permitted to drive an Ami without a driver’s licence. The car is easy to handle, safe, weatherproof, has room for two people, and doesn’t go faster than 45 km/h. By offering an affordable option for gentle, electric mobility, the Ami has revolutionised the quadricycle market. It stands out for its eccentric design, which is distinguished by creative architecture and symmetry. With a turning circle of only 7.20 metres and a length of only 2.41 metres, it provides remarkable agility.
The Ami Buggy has sold almost 75,000 units in 18 markets so far. Executives from the company emphasise its enduring influence on rural, suburban, and urban environments, establishing it as a pioneer in European electric micromobility.
As part of the redesign, Citroën moved the headlamps to the bottom of the windscreen, encircling them with black trim. This modification enhances the front end’s balance and gives the car a more expressive look.
The brand’s new Rouge André logo is housed in a new capsule shape that connects the two lights. This capsule, which is imprinted in the mould, looks like a big smile and adds to Ami’s cheerful and amiable personality. Sharper edges and more vertical surfaces have been incorporated into the vehicle’s lower body, giving the sides bumpers a Lego-like appearance.
According to the company’s designers, these characteristics add to the Ami’s playful nature and improve the vehicle’s perceived width on the road. Similar advancements are mirrored at the back, and the Ami’s bumpers at each corner act as protective elements. A key component of the Ami’s design, which was meticulously created to cut expenses by lowering investment, is symmetry. The car’s uniqueness is greatly enhanced by the fact that the doors, front and rear fascias, wings, windscreen pillars, and rear windscreens are all made from the same moulds.
In homage to the legendary 2CV, which was created in 1948 and adhered to the same principles of accessibility and simplicity for everyone, the car’s sides have moulded grooves in the front right and rear left wings.
Furthermore, the Ami now has an easy-to-use mechanical lever for manual accelerator and brake control, with the pedals always functioning.
