Citroën unveiled the My Ami Buggy, a special edition of the electric quadricycle inspired by last year’s concept, coming with a fabric roof and metal doors alongside adventurous bits. The model will be produced in a limited number of 50 units, all reserved for the French market. The production version of the My Ami Buggy is not as radical-looking as the concept but it still incorporates some cool features making it look ready for adventure.
The plastic body panels are painted in
Khaki, combined with yellow accents, metal tuning instead of doors, a removable
grey fabric roof, and a new set of gold-painted 14-inch wheels. It also gets
plastic cladding on the bumpers, fenders, and side sills, plus a new trim
around the headlights and taillights making it look more crossover-ish.
The roof, made of waterproof and
UV-resistant fabric, can be manually detached via span fasteners, and fits
behind the seats when it’s rolled up. The exact same part is expected to be
used in the rumored Fiat Topolino which will be a sibling to the Citroën Ami
and the Opel Rocks-e. Gone are the grippy off-road tires and the protective
metal elements of the concept, but it is not that anyone would ever think of
taking the Ami off-road. Regular tires are also good for the electric range
which is 70 km in the base model. There are no mechanical changes
with the My Ami Buggy retaining the standard 5.5 kWh lithium-ion battery and
the 8 hp electric motor.
Inside the cabin we find yellow accents on
the storage bins, bag hook, and door opening straps, as well as yellow
stitching on the black seats and yellow seams on the floor mats. Each My Ami
Buggy will be numbered, and feature a “My Ami Buggy Ultra Limited Edition”
plate on the dashboard. Owners will be able to personalize their vehicle by
adding a message at the front.
Sales of the My Ami Buggy will start on
June 21 in France, with deliveries scheduled to start on August 8. Citroën
didn’t reveal pricing, nor it did mention anything about exporting the special
edition to other markets.
