Tiny Citroën EV Transforms into a Beach-Adapted Adventure Vehicle with Removable Doors
The quirky Citroen Ami Buggy, a delightful off-road electric vehicle with open-air vibes, is now a permanent part of the Ami lineup. Debuting on May 6, the doorless, roof-optional Buggy is here to stay in Citroen's expanding electric micromobility range.
From Sketch to Sensation
Initially unveiled in 2021, the Buggy Concept was thought of as a cheeky design exercise. Its rugged look, inspired by the four-door Citroen from 1961 to 1978, exhibited the potential of this compact platform. But now, with its doorless configuration, metal hoops, and vibrant color schemes, the dream has become a reality.
The public was hooked during the limited production runs—the first batch of 50 units vanished in an instant. Now, with the Buggy no longer confined to a special edition, everyone has the chance to own this charming micro-EV.
No More Doors? No Problem!
The signature trait of the Buggy is the absence of traditional doors, replaced by sturdy metal hoops offering a taste of the great outdoors. Optional zip-up door coverings protect from the rain, while a retractable sunroof allows for open-air adventures, all adding to the rugged, adventurous experience.
The playful industrial design makes the Buggy the perfect companion for spontaneous off-road trips or beach days. Its symmetrical panels and quirky proportions are retained from the standard Ami, with additional visual personality shown through gold 14-inch steel wheels, a sporty black rear spoiler, and vibrant yellow accents.
Micromobility! Fun Guaranteed!
Remember, the Ami Buggy isn't a Jeep competitor when it comes to off-road prowess. Powered by a single electric motor, it retains the redesigned front and rear ends of the regular Ami. However, what it truly delivers is an uncomplicated, entertaining driving experience.
The Ami Buggy holds on to the reputation the original built in just half a decade, combining compactness, electric power, and fun into one package. With a 46.6-mile range, a top speed of 28mph, and a four-hour charging time from a standard 220V outlet, get ready for countless adventures in this electrifying vehicle.
Extra Flair with the Palmeira
For those who crave even more style, the Ami Buggy Palmeira is the answer. This top-tier trim comes with black and yellow decals on the wheel arches and greenhouse, echoing the vehicle's vibrant, double-chevron emblems. Inside the cabin, yellow accents adorn storage compartments, door nets, floor mats, and a smartphone holder. Moreover, the Palmeira includes a dashboard figurine (Andy) whose cheerful blue gaze bounces along with every drive.
