The brand is unveiling the ELO concept car to the French public for the first time, which embodies a bold vision of future mobility. The ELO concept is a compact, modular, and electric vehicle that can accommodate up to six people and is designed for various uses such as mobility, remote working, leisure, and relaxation.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the ELO, Citro\u00ebn is presenting several iconic concept cars that defined their respective eras, including the 2 CV A, C10, Karin, Activa 1, Xanae, and C-Cactus. These concept cars showcase the brand&#8217;s commitment to design, creativity, and innovation, and demonstrate how they have inspired the ELO concept.<\/p>\n<p>The ELO concept draws inspiration from Citro\u00ebn&#8217;s historic concepts, such as the Karin, which featured a central driving position and futuristic interface. The ELO&#8217;s architecture is 100% electric, which allows for maximum space and modularity. The concept also features a distinctive MPV silhouette, which reinterprets the mono-volume concept, and a centrally positioned driver&#8217;s seat that echoes the boldness of the Karin.<\/p>\n<p>Citro\u00ebn is also celebrating the 50th anniversary of the R\u00e9tromobile Show and the 50th anniversary of the first public appearance of the Traction Avant 15-6 Cabriolet in France. The brand is exhibiting the one and only Traction Avant 15-6 Cabriolet, which was originally showcased in 1976 during the inaugural R\u00e9tromobile.<\/p>\n<p>The R\u00e9tromobile Show will take place from January 28 to February 1, 2026, and Citro\u00ebn&#8217;s stand will be located in Hall 7.2. The brand will also have a merchandising boutique showcasing a selection of products from the Citro\u00ebn Lifestyle e-shop. Citro\u00ebn&#8217;s participation in the R\u00e9tromobile Show would not be possible without the support of L&#8217;Aventure Citro\u00ebn, a non-profit association dedicated to preserving, developing, and promoting the brand&#8217;s heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Citro\u00ebn&#8217;s participation in the R\u00e9tromobile Show is a celebration of the brand&#8217;s rich heritage and its commitment to design, creativity, and innovation. The ELO concept car is a bold vision of future mobility, and the brand&#8217;s iconic concept cars on display demonstrate how Citro\u00ebn has always pushed the boundaries of automotive design and technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Citro\u00ebn is returning to the R\u00e9tromobile Show with a 512 m\u00b2 stand, celebrating over 100 years of creativity and innovation.
