Citroën: What new models to discover at the Brussels Motor Show 2026?

There are days when one feels like mutinying against the surrounding monotony of car culture, and the Brussels Motor Show 2026 seems to be the perfect opportunity to stir the dormant neurons of car enthusiasts. But what exactly awaits you? Hold on to your steering wheel, because Citroën is about to unveil new features that could either send shivers of excitement or cause misplaced hilarity.

Citroën ELO: a concept car that wants to show off

Let's start with the ELO, this little gem that will make its grand entrance. A world of electric mobility and innovation, sure, but this vehicle apparently decided it was also a home theater on wheels. With a modular space that can accommodate up to six people — yes, six — you might want to leave your mother-in-law at home. Just imagine, a panoramic windshield at 180° — you can finally have the illusion of driving without having to see what's happening in the real world.

• Swiveling seat for chatting or lamenting about your neighbor's biking attitude.
• Two additional seats in the back for when your friend still doesn't want to go home.
• Transformable into a bed for an epic nap after a shopping spree.

C5 Aircross: the must-have SUV?

And then, there's the C5 Aircross. Citroën has clearly taken notes while observing modern trends, delivering a design that could make the latest Ford model blush with envy. Beneath this robust appearance, we discover what they call a “high-tech cocoon.” Who needs a spa when you can enjoy a melody from the suspension with progressive hydraulic stops? The seats, for their part, are labeled Advanced Comfort, which isn’t nearly as compelling a promise as that of a takeout restaurant serving you a can of beans.

• A large touchscreen on the dashboard, because, let's not forget, navigation is essential in traffic jams.
• Advanced technology for driving, because the last thing we need is to recreate scenes from “Fast and Furious” on our streets.
• A range that rivals some trains between Paris and Lyon.

Ami Dark Side: a small urban marvel

In a less bling-bling corner of the stand, you’ll find the Ami Dark Side. For those who thought compact cars were reserved for driving schools, here’s a version that could make Darth Vader himself blush. With its new Black Night look, this vehicle offers a performance that could put your old Clio to shame. Moreover, it presents itself as a pioneer of electric micro-mobility, making it a superb choice to escape those pesky traffic jams.

• High performance with an electric version capable of a range of up to 520 km.
• Three engine versions, including a hybrid that might make you realize you don't have to be a militant environmentalist to drive green.
• Sleek technology: simple, effective — exactly like a good old steak and fries.

Formula E: the end of an era or the beginning of something else?

To complete the picture, Citroën doesn’t forget to bring in a bit of sport with its single-seater from the Formula E, sporting tricolor colors. It’s a majestic nod to French know-how that might remind us that innovation is not just a buzzword in a brochure, but a reality on the track.

• A podium finish in São Paulo — someone definitely said “victory.”
• A aerodynamic design made to take a turn with the grace of a cat on a corrugated roof.
• A new challenge that could revitalize the brand's image after so many years clinging to its roots.

The Brussels Motor Show 2026 promises to be a feast for car lovers. With all these innovations, Citroën seems ready to redefine the rules of the game, proving that creativity knows no limits, even in a world where the small gasoline car is retiring. Let's hope this won’t just be a flash in the pan!
