Tiny Tailor-Made Street Style

The Citroën Ami looks like a city icon shrunk down — compact, boxy and unapologetically cute, with a modular, almost toy-like exterior that stands out on crowded streets. Measuring just 2,460 mm long and 1,390 mm wide, it slips into the tightest parking gaps and changes the definition of kerb appeal. Its tall 1,525 mm body gives a surprising upright presence despite the diminutive footprint, and the finishing panels invite personalization rather than luxury pretensions.

Spartan Cabin, Practical Heart

Inside the Ami is a study in minimalism: two seats, hard-wearing plastics and a flat, easy-to-clean cabin that prioritizes function over frills. Controls are deliberately uncomplicated and the sparse dashboard keeps distractions low, though material quality is basic and comfort is best for short hops rather than long drives. Storage is modest but practical — a 63-litre trunk and a handful of cubbies fit a couple of grocery bags or a backpack but not much more.

Small Footprint, Real-Life Use

Despite seating for two, the Ami's compact dimensions translate into useful urban practicality: with a curb weight around 470–483 kg and payload roughly 217–230 kg it can carry two occupants and light cargo without drama. Trunk volume of 63 litres and its short overhangs mean supermarket runs and commuter luggage are handled, but the Ami is not built for family duty or long road trips. Its tiny footprint makes city living easier — think parking in a motorcycle slot, navigating narrow lanes and storing in small garages.

City Handling: Nimble, Not Spritely

The Ami is powered by a modest electric drive rated at about 8 HP (6 kW) and 40 Nm of torque, with a top speed limited to 45 km/h, which defines its role as a neighbourhood shuttle rather than a motorway runner. Acceleration is leisurely and best compared to a brisk bicycle supplemented by electric push — sufficient for city traffic and short trips but not for fast merges or highways. Light steering, a short wheelbase and minimal mass make it surprisingly nimble between parked cars and roundabouts, while the basic reduction gearbox keeps operation simple and nearly silent.

Range to Get You Around

A 5.4 kWh battery gives the Ami an official electric range of about 75 km, which in everyday use covers most urban commutes and errands without daily charging. With zero tailpipe CO2 emissions, running costs are low and recharging from a standard household outlet is possible in a few hours, making it convenient for riders with simple charging needs. The compact pack and low weight mean energy consumption is minimal, but the limited range should be part of purchase planning — this is a short-hop city car, not a substitute for a full-size EV.

No-Frills Tech That Does the Job

Technology in the Ami keeps to the essentials: there is no suite of advanced driver assistance systems, instead the focus is on basic practicality with simple displays and smartphone-dependent features for navigation and media. Parking is inherently easy thanks to the small size and a tight turning circle, but safety features are limited by the vehicle's light quadricycle construction compared with conventional cars. Expect useful but minimal tech — enough connectivity for city life, but not the infotainment or ADAS loadouts found in larger electric cars.

Best Buyer Profile

The Citroën Ami suits urban dwellers who need an ultra-compact, affordable, and low-running-cost mobility solution — ideal as a primary ride for short commutes, a campus vehicle or a second car for quick errands. Its low speed, 75 km range and tiny parking footprint make it particularly appealing where space, cost and simplicity matter more than long-distance flexibility. Current versions include the Citroën Ami Electric Automatic Front-Wheel Drive with 8 HP and a 75 km range, reinforcing that this car is designed for city-slice practicality rather than highway ambition.
