Citroën Oli concept car debuts at Rétromobile Show 2023 News

Citroën has brought us some quirky cars over the years, many sporting elements from their concept cars, and we reckon you'll be seeing some of the innovations from this new concept car, Oli, which made its public debut, surrounded by a number of other iconic vehicles that represent milestones in Citroën's history, at the Rétromobile Show 2023 held recently in Paris.

Inspired by Citroën’s C10 concept from 1956, Oli is an embodiment of Citroën’s new design direction and innovative take on the future of mobility, offering electrically powered family transport that is affordable, light, versatile and tackles society's challenges.

Incorporating recycled and recyclable materials, Oli is designed to improve longevity, reliability and affordability, whilst demonstrating Citroën’s innovations including mesh seat backs, which require 80% fewer parts than traditional seats.

The bonnet, roof and boot floor panels, all of which are made from extremely strong recycled honeycomb cardboard are also impressive as they can support a person's weight. With this drive for weight reduction, the Oli weighs 1000kg, allowing it to achieve a range of 248 miles from a 40kWh battery.

Oli introduces a new interpretation of Citroën's signature chevron logo, as well as a new, vivid signature colour - infrared.
