About the Citroën Ami
The Citroën Ami is a battery-electric quadricycle that prioritises urban utility and affordability over traditional automotive luxury. Classified as a light quadricycle (L6e), it features a symmetrical design with identical front and rear panels and doors that open in opposite directions to reduce manufacturing costs. Its 5.5 kWh battery provides a range of approximately 46 miles, making it strictly a city runabout. The interior is minimalist, featuring a smartphone cradle instead of a traditional infotainment system and a simple heater for basic comfort. It represents a bold return to Citroën's roots of providing clever, accessible mobility for the masses.
