Inside, the cabin features an unconventional cylindrical dashboard structure, an eight-inch square touchscreen adorned with comic-book-inspired graphics, and cheerful yellow tartan upholstery. The interior also incorporates clever, playful touches like a removable front bench seat designed for outdoor picnics, a detachable Radioën portable speaker, a 3D-printed storage basket, and pedal illustrations depicting a hare and a tortoise.

Additionally, the vehicle features independently replaceable bumpers to make repairs easier and a unique collaboration with Michelin to explore digital tire-monitoring technology utilizing vehicle data instead of physical sensors.
Citroen’s revival of the 2 CV successfully bridges automotive heritage with modern electric innovation. We hope to see more iconic revivals like this in the future, hopefully, for other car brands too.
