Citroën has unveiled an updated version of the Ami Buggy electric car, the beach version of the compact urban EV. Unlike the previous limited edition version, the new Ami Buggy will become a permanent part of the range.

Here's What We Know

The unveiled model is inspired by the concept shown at the 2024 Paris Motor Show. Some spectacular elements, including off-road tyres and an LED roof bar, did not make it to the production version. Otherwise, the Buggy inherited original design elements from the standard Ami with round headlights and decorative "gills" in the style of the classic 2CV.

The main feature is the absence of the usual doors. They are replaced by black metal tubes on hinges. For rainy weather there are additional fabric covers with zips and folding roof. Among other differences - a spoiler on the roof and 14-inch steel discs of gold colour.

The flagship modification is called Ami Buggy Palmeira. It is easily recognisable by black and yellow stickers on the wheel arches and glazing, as well as yellow logos with a double chevron. The interior features yellow accents: three storage bins, a bag hook, mats, door nets and a smartphone holder. Also included is a robotic Andy figure with a bouncing head.

Technically, the Ami Buggy does not differ from the standard model:

  • 8 HP electric motor.
  • Maximum speed: 45 km/h
  • Battery: 5.5 kWh
  • Range: up to 75 kilometres
  • Charging time from a 220 V socket: 4 hours

The updated Citroën Ami range also includes a cargo version of the Ami Cargo LCV and a modification of the Ami for All, adapted for wheel chair users. An aftermarket Cargo Pack is also available, transforming the saloon into a compact van with a volume of up to 340 litres.

Orders for the updated Citroën Ami range will start on 6 May across Europe. Prices:

  • Base Ami - from €7,990
  • Ami Buggy from €9,590.
  • The flagship Buggy Palmeira - from €9,990

Citroën has sold 75,000 Ami units in 18 countries since the model's launch in 2020.
