2023 Citroen Ami represents a forward-thinking answer to urban mobility challenges, already imported to Cyprus by private order. This compact all-electric quadricycle is purpose-built for short commutes and inner-city navigation, offering an efficient and environmentally conscious mode of transport for modern urban dwellers. It delivers a driving experience that redefines simplicity, maneuverability and practical design.
The car features a minimalist exterior painted in a two-tone finish with a distinctive modern aesthetic that makes it immediately recognizable on the street. Its symmetrical design, with identical front and rear panels, enhances its production efficiency and adds to its unique charm. Measuring only 2.41 meters in length and 1.39 meters in width, the Ami fits effortlessly into tight parking spaces and narrow city lanes. It’s a nimble choice for busy Cypriot cities like Nicosia or Limassol where space and accessibility are critical.
Inside, the Ami seats two passengers side-by-side, providing an unexpectedly spacious feel due to its high roof and cleverly arranged interior. The layout is functionally minimalist, with grey-toned hard plastics and clever storage solutions such as door nets and dashboard trays. Even though compact, it feels airy and open thanks to large windows and a panoramic glass roof that lets in ample light.
The Ami is powered by a 5.5 kWh lithium-ion battery mounted beneath the floor, paired with a 6 kW (8hp) electric motor. Charging the battery is a breeze: simply plug it into a standard household socket, and within approximately 3 hours it reaches full charge. On a single charge, it offers a real-world range of around 75 kilometers—ideal for short daily runs in Cyprus. Its estimated energy consumption stands at approximately 7.2 kWh/100 km.
Despite its small stature and low top speed of around 45 km/h, the Ami offers surprising stability and responsive handling, aided by its feather-light curb weight of just 485 kg. This particular model is also fitted with practical accessories such as digital speed readout, smartphone dock with app connectivity, and colored trim enhancements.
The two-seater layout provides an ideal personal commuting environment, particularly for young drivers, students or city-based professionals.
As part of Citroën’s urban mobility strategy, the Ami demonstrates that simplicity, affordability and sustainability can coexist. It doesn’t just serve as a car, but rather a new approach to mobility. This unit was specially ordered and brought into Cyprus privately.
Its ease of use, low operating costs and green credentials make the 2023 Citroën Ami a standout option. Whether maneuvering through narrow historic streets or parking near coastal cafés, the Ami proves that you don’t need size to make a statement in Cyprus.
