Citroën plans to revive its classic 2CV model as part of a strategy to introduce bold new cars. The brand's chief, Thierry Koskas, confirmed that they will tap into Citroën's rich history to attract fans of vintage models. Citroën has already started designing a new car inspired by the original 2CV. Koskas noted that the brand is well-known around the world, especially for the 2CV and the DS models. He stated, "The brand has an incredible history and I think it still appeals to a lot of people." The future lineup will center around four main models: the C3, C3 Aircross, C4, and C5 Aircross. However, Koskas mentioned that Citroën aims to be "daring and shocking" with additional new models. These future vehicles may surprise customers with innovative designs and features. Koskas also emphasized the importance of creating iconic cars that customers will want to buy, not just concept designs. Later this year, Citroën will introduce a new concept to explore comfort and space usage, but it won't directly lead to a new model like the revived 2CV. The company is set to launch the new C3 and C3 Aircross shortly, followed by the updated C4. The C5 Aircross will complete the main lineup. Koskas ruled out plans for small city cars like the C1 or C2, citing manufacturing challenges. However, he believes the new C3 is affordable enough to appeal to that market.
