The Citroën 19_19 Concept represents an avant-garde electric concept car created by the French automaker Citroën as a tribute to its 100-year anniversary.
Presentation
Revealed on 13 May 2019 at the Viva Technology event in Paris, the 19_19 Concept honors a century of Citroën’s history since its establishment in 1919. This model follows the Ami One electric concept displayed earlier that year at the Geneva Motor Show, underscoring Citroën’s commitment to pioneering electric mobility solutions.
Premise
Conceived to demonstrate cutting-edge electric transportation, the 19_19 Concept prioritizes both technological innovation and passenger comfort. It boasts an anticipated driving range of 800 km, Level 4 autonomous capabilities according to SAE International classifications, acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds, and a maximum speed of 200 km/h. Comfort features encompass an intelligent suspension system, heated seating, a digital assistant, and personalized acoustic zones.
Design
Drawing inspiration from aerospace engineering, the 19_19 Concept showcases a "double prospex bonnet" incorporating LED headlights that stretch across the front and form Citroën’s emblem atop an "Origins" badge. At the rear, tail lights echo the front’s design language, accompanied by Lidar sensors and a transparent panel exposing internal mechanisms. The vehicle’s silhouette resembles a "transparent capsule," with a black and blue palette paying homage to the Petite Rosalie. It rolls on bespoke 30" wheels crafted in collaboration with Goodyear, featuring rotating hubs that maintain the Origins logo in an upright position.
