2020 is probably a year most people wouldn't like to remember, but for Citroen it was a pivotal moment - the time when it introduced the Ami. The now-four-year-old vehicle is celebrating its birthday by changing its color to a new Night Sepia hue, replacing the original blue one "giving it a warm, robust, and rewarding look", Citroen says. This dark brown hue makes the Ami have "a whole new personality", providing "more depth and quality", while "perfectly matching the various color animations and stickers that Ami can offer". But wait, there's more! The new Ami merges the high-end Tonic and Pop versions of yesteryear to create the new Peps version, which is described as "a blend of contrasts, graphics, and colorful accents" which come alongside features that make daily life easier.

Peps is "ready to weave through traffic while playfully resembling a small sports car" and "adopts elements of urban ruggedness", whatever any of that means. The Peps version has a "very expressive front end" with a black graphic band under the windshield animated by sharp yellow horizontal stickers, and black headlight rims. Its rear spoiler expresses its dynamism, as do the four "floral-design wheel covers with white decorations".

 

Inside you still get the smartphone clip, door nets with an orange band, a central separation net, a bag hook, and three orange storage bins. You can connect your smartphone to the car to access all of its data, including available range, mileage, and maintenance alerts. The My Ami Play interface turns your smartphone into a dashboard with quick access to navigation, music, radio, or phone calls.

The My Cargo Kit is a "new clever module" offered separately which replaces the Cargo version entirely. This will let you have a practical and functional loading space when you need that - and when you don't, you can fold it out of the way to still accommodate two people in the car. Citroen says My Cargo Kit "allows for hassle-free loading of different types of packages in the context of last-mile delivery" or for any other activity, with easy access thanks to the opening angle of the door. Loading capacity is up to 340 l throughout the vehicle, and up to 200 l under the kit's storage net.
