The radical Citroen Ami electric quadricycle will cost from just £7,695 in the UK.
This makes it substantially cheaper than the lowest-priced cars on sale, although the Ami’s appeal will likely be somewhat more limited.
Designed for city use, the tiny two-seat Ami will be sold by Citroen in left-hand-drive form only.
However, its futuristic looks and promise of urban mobility have seen more than 2,000 reservations placed already.
Small EV, small prices
Every Ami sold in the UK will use the same powertrain, consisting of a 6kW electric motor combined with a 5.5kWh battery. This offers a top speed of 27mph, plus an official range of up to 46 miles. Using a wallbox sees a full charge completed in three hours.
The basic £7,695 Ami comes with a digital speedometer, LED front and rear lights, a panoramic glass sunroof and USB charging as standard.
Optional Colour Packs will cost £400, and are available in Orange, Blue or Grey. Designed to be fitted at home, each comes with colour-coded trim pieces and storage items to be added to the exterior and interior.
Also included are a smartphone cradle and a net to separate the driver and passenger footwells, plus connectivity for the MyCitroen mobile app.
Ready for baguette deliveries
Moving up to the Ami Pop costs £8,495, and combines the Orange Colour Pack with black front trim. A black rear spoiler and orange decals are also included in the makeover.
Topping the range is the £8,895 Ami Vibe, contrasting the Grey Colour Pack against black bumpers and rear light surrounds. Black wheelarches and black roof rails are fitted, with bespoke decals for the doors and front wings.
Businesses wanting an all-electric urban delivery vehicle can pay £7,995 for the Ami Cargo. A modular storage section replaces the passenger seat. This allows for multiple carrying configurations, and gives the Ami a total capacity of 400 litres.
With a sizeable list of reservations already in place, new customers can place a £250 refundable deposit now. Citroen will confirm the full UK launch date for the Ami soon.
