The little Citroën Ami packs his bags and goes to Mercosur...

The economic results of the first half of 2023 are very good for Stellantis. Each and every one of its brands has grown in sales and not only that, but also its profitability and operating margin. Perhaps the reasons for so many good news is that, although there are many, each one is doing its job. And one of the ones that is taking the most joy is the double chevron house with models like the coquettish Citroen Ami...

As you already know the small Gallic electric quadricycle was born to be an alternative to the Renault Twizy. But his wickerwork did not bring him closer because although he is also electric, neither in terms of power nor autonomy did he resemble him. So, to avoid entering into the "hand-to-hand" fight, they decided to turn it around and announce it as a "solution for mobility in large cities." And they like it so much that Opel and Fiat have their versions and it will even go outside of Europe...

The Citroën Ami for Mercosur will remain true to its essence... there will be no aesthetic changes...

Indeed: Stellantis has officially announced that the Citroën Ami will be sold in Mercosur. To be more exact, the French electric light quadricycle will be sold in Brazil and several other countries as we know it in Europe. And to announce it they have published a official press release where they explain it like this...

"That's how it is. When you hear that about "size does not matter", you can believe it because it is true. We talk here about "someone" who attracts many eyes, neck turns and even some applause wherever he goes. "Someone" of small dimensions, but with an inversely proportional versatility. "Someone" who, above all, think about the environment. Leaving the mystery aside, that “someone” is the Citroën Ami, the great novelty of the group for the region»

In addition, to present this first, Citroën has had the help of Antonio Filosa, president of Stellantis in South America, and Vanessa Castanho, vice president of Citroën in South America. Together they have used an Ami to tour the Betim (MG) facilities both inside and out as it is a truly versatile model. In addition, they have explained their strengths in terms of exterior and interior aesthetics without mentioning any changes.

There it will also be sold as a “mobility solution”…

As you can imagine, a change in aesthetics would not be viable so that the Ami could cross the pond. So he keeps his casual and jovial essence leaning on the same electric powertrain. We remind you that it has a 6 kW (8,16 CV) motor powered by a battery that provides a range of up to 80 kilometers. In addition, they emphasize that it has a charging cable to be ready in less than four hours.

The Citroën My Ami Buggy has been a success and in Spain even more…

With everything, the press release does not indicate the date on which the arrival of Ami will take place in Mercosur. And it is not the only thing that is not clear. It is also not known if the units that arrive in America are those that are manufactured in Europe or if, on the contrary, they will be assembled locally for this region. Therefore, we will have to wait for news that gives us more clues about one of the most important launches in the region as far as urban mobility is concerned...

Patience…
