2009 Citroen 2CV Rendering


MINI did it, so did VW and Fiat with the Beetle and 500 respectively, with Alfa joining the club next year with the Junior so why shouldn’t Citroen tag on and resurrect its legendary 2CV adding one more contender in the premium mini / compact category? Though we haven’t heard anything official, citing inside sources, UK magazine, Autoexpress says that the French carmaker is considering introducing a 2CV model in 2009. The Brits also came up with a rendering of the future 2CV which as they say, will be based on the Golf sized, C4 platform using a hybrid-diesel engine. -Continued below

What do we think? If Citroen actually decides to go forward with the 2CV it will have to be so much more than just an ordinary compact hatch with a retro-design twist to succeed. Design and electronic gimmicks simply aren’t enough as Peugeot painfully found out with the unsuccessful 1007 mini. But, a hybrid-diesel powertrain along with several other eco-friendly solutions and a logical price may very well do the trick for Citroen.
