The Citroën Lacoste represents a concept mini SUV created through a collaboration between Citroën and Lacoste for the 2010 Paris Motor Show. It is powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine designed to emit less than 100g/km of CO2, aiming to appeal to a market focused on fuel efficiency and environmental consciousness. Although production was expected around 2013, it ultimately did not come to fruition.
With a length of , the vehicle is approximately 50 centimeters shorter than the Nissan Juke, highlighting its suitability for urban environments. Distinctive design features include an inflatable roof that extends from the central roof rail and a steering wheel that can be repositioned to improve entry and exit. The absence of conventional doors underscores its crossover nature. This concept takes cues from the 1970s Citroën Méhari and the 2007 Citroën C-Cactus, fitting within Citroën's approach to creating innovative vehicles that emphasize lifestyle.
