Citroen, the French automaker known for its innovative designs, has recently launched a new version of its electric microcar, the Ami. The new model, My Ami Pop, features a fresh and dynamic look that aims to appeal to young and urban customers looking for a fun and eco-friendly manner to get around the city.
What is the Ami electric microcar?
The Ami is a tiny two-seater vehicle that measures only 2.41 meters long and 1.39 meters wide. It has a top speed of 28 mph and a range of 47 miles on a single charge. It can be recharged in just three hours using a standard 220V socket.
The Citroen Ami is classified as a light quadricycle in Europe, meaning it can be driven by anyone over 14 in France and 16 in most other countries without a driving license. This makes it an ideal solution for young people who want more independence and mobility and for older people who want to avoid the hassle of parking and traffic.
The Ami is also very affordable, starting from $7,900 to $99 monthly with a $1,800 deposit. Alternatively, customers can rent the Ami by minute, hour, or day through Citroën’s partner, Free2Move, a car-sharing service in several European cities.
What is new about the My Ami Pop?
The Citroen My Ami Pop is a special edition of the Ami that features a new design and some exclusive accessories. The My Ami Pop has a new front end with new headlamp bezels that complement the black chevron strip under the windscreen and the black bumper reinforcement. The new front end gives the My Ami Pop a more distinctive and assertive look.
The My Ami Pop also has new graphics and colors that enhance its playful and sporty character. The sticker on the door, a major feature of this version, has a stylized circle and triangle, two simple and graphic shapes inspired by the digital world of gamers. The sticker also has the number 2, which is a nod to the Ami’s unique approach to mobility: 2 passengers, 2 identical doors, 2 identical front and rear bumpers, 2 identical wings, and so on.
The My Ami Pop also has a new predominant color, Infrared, a signature color of the Citroën range. The stickers on the door sills and quarter windows switched from orange to Infrared red, contrasting the body color. The My Ami Pop is available in four body colors: Blue, Khaki, Gray, and White.
The Citroen My Ami Pop also comes with exclusive accessories, such as a rear spoiler, a smartphone holder, a storage net, and a Bluetooth speaker. These accessories add more functionality and fun to the My Ami Pop, making it a perfect companion for urban adventures.
