Paris Motor Show: Citroen Ami 2025 Gets a Makeover

Citroën Ami, the electric microcar dedicated to urban areas, has found sympathy on the roads and in dealerships, winning more than 65,000 customers since 2020. For 2025, with a new face and a nod to the 2 CV’s iconic side vents.

Citroën didn’t come empty-handed at the 2024 Paris Motor Show, as the C5 Aircross Concept and updated C4 and C4 make an ultra-adventurous appearance.

Dude is growing up.

The production model benefits from a discreet look with completely redesigned front and rear fascias, in keeping with Citroën’s new style. The lighting units increase in size while the bumpers are more refined and a new Citroën logo is added.

A less favorite for the headlights, framed by black trim that oddly resembles eyelashes, seems to bring the model to life.

The profile may seem familiar at first glance, but the devil is in the details. Look closely and you’ll notice the fake gulls on the front right wing, a tribute to the 1948 Citroën 2 CV, or a way to get people talking with little change, perhaps?

If you’re wondering why we see the same dummy vents on the left rear wing, it’s because of Amy’s very compact design that allows for huge savings in design and production.

Finally, we get new hubcaps featuring a checkerboard pattern with rounded corners.

No announcements have been made about mechanical modifications, friends must respect the legislation governing quadricycles. This means we still get the same 8 hp electric motor and 5.5 kWh battery.

The Citroën Ami 2025 market launch is planned for the first half of 2025, with pricing to be announced closer to marketing.

A friend for sand

A more adventurous version is closer to the Ami series, a very attractive concept of the Ami Buggy, ready for sand, but beaches rather than deserts, no doubt given the machine’s much lower autonomy.

No matter, we love it, its midnight blue paint contrasting with the white roof, its black stickers and its yellow headlights. Better still, by ditching traditional doors in favor of metal tubes, the Buggy Vision exudes open air and freedom, even more so with its canvas sunroof.

We all dream of it, unfortunately this little car will never see the light of day in this form.

The concept is based on large, high sidewall tires surrounded by flared mudguards. The whole thing is complemented by a roof-mounted LED bar and a funky rear spoiler.

Citroën designers got creative with specific kitesurf board holders on the tubular doors and a unique luggage compartment that can accommodate a kitesurf sail. Finally, the interior adopts new seat cushions with a quilted look, and offers an infrared shade for the upholstery, originally introduced by the Ollie concept.

If the concept never sees the light of day in this form, Citroën may well develop a new buggy version of its Amy, the first iteration of which met with great success.
