The Citroën AMI Buggy makes its entry into the range with an adventurous spirit

The Citroën AMI Buggy, a vehicle that is not just a car, but truly a cry from the heart for the automotive adventure that is lacking amidst this world of boring SUVs and austere sedans. With a boldness that borders on ridiculous, this incredible little machine has decided to carve its way into the Citroën catalog, abandoning its limited edition status to become an integral part of the lineup, like a carefree mosquito sneaking into a room full of serious people.

An aesthetic revolution that is sure to spark conversation

One might easily think that imagining an electrifying car in the AMI range is a joke, but Citroën has taken on the challenge with unexpected elegance. The headlights of the AMI Buggy now point towards the windshield, giving the whole front a more expressive face, almost as if the car is desperately trying to say: "Look at me, I’m cool.” Like a teenager discovering fashion, the logo has been redesigned, while the curves have made way for sharper edges, offering a bold style reminiscent of a blend between a child's toy and a miniature military truck.

Customization: Because conformity is not for her

And what about customization? Citroën has concocted color packs as if they were slipping candies into a festive weekend. "Ami Spicy," "Ami Icy," or "Ami Minty" are just excuses for owners to assert their individuality. It all brings to mind a time when everyone was trying to stand out, as if becoming unique was a full-time job. With self-assemble accessories, the AMI Buggy becomes a blank canvas for all the Sunday dreamers.

Freedom in an electric shell

This Buggy version, which evokes the feeling of freedom of a Méhari, also comes with a canopy and hoops instead of doors, suggesting that driving this vehicle is almost more akin to playing "the farm" than moving in reality. The ability to fold these hoops in case of bad weather opens the door to potentially wet adventures, depending on the whims of each driver. But what would a great adventure be without a touch of risk?

A series of configurations… who will benefit from it?

And as if that weren't enough, Citroën has imagined packs such as the AMI Buggy Palmeira, where bright yellow and utilitarian design meet for what can be called "the invention of a new mode of transportation." Professionals will not be left out with a modular kit that transforms the passenger seat into a cargo space, a bit like a seagull snatching a fry from a fast-food place. As for the AMI for All version, a nod to people with reduced mobility, Citroën ensures there's room for everyone, even those who might struggle with the concept of 'storage' of the AMI Buggy.

And all of this for how much?

For those who fear that this innovation is too good to be true, let's be reasonable. The new AMI will start at €7,990, while the Buggy, still in shape and self-assured, is priced starting at €9,590. A price above €10,000, that's what we call staying economical in 2025! The democratization of this electric delight promises to attract young people and their parents, while transporting them to a time when everything seemed more fun and a little more chaotic.

Ultimately, this Citroën AMI Buggy may be a vehicle that many retired automotive journalists would wish to drive, far from boring suburbs and all conformity. A sweet breath of rebellion? Perhaps. An invitation to adventure? Definitely. In any case, get ready to see these little wonders invade our roads this summer. Who knows, it might just be the perfect instrument for a carefree road trip!
