Among the planned models is a new electric car drawing inspiration from the iconic Citroën 2 CV, blending retro design with modern EV technology. The partnership aims to expand Stellantis’ presence in the growing small electric vehicle segment while leveraging Leapmotor’s expertise in battery-electric platforms. Details on the exact lineup and production timeline remain under wraps, but the project signals a push toward more affordable and accessible electric mobility in Europe.
