Join Ginny in Paris for an exclusive first look at the Citroën ELO, the brand-new concept car signalling Citroën’s bold return to clever, compact MPVs. Bright, boxy and brilliantly practical, the ELO is an “ideas lab on wheels” — a glimpse into how Citroën wants us to rest, work and play in the next generation of electric family cars.
We dive into the design story, from the one-box silhouette and huge wraparound glass to the vibrant colour-shifting exterior that channels peak Citroën quirkiness. Inside, things get even wilder: a central driving position, six-seat flexibility, removable chairs, rotating workstations and modular storage made from recycled materials. There’s even a collaboration with Decathlon, complete with inflatable air beds, built-in compressors, awnings and a full “mobile home cinema” setup.
We also explore the sustainability innovations, smart Goodyear tyres and the clever packaging changes EVs finally allow designers to embrace. But the big question: how much of this will make it into a real Citroën MPV? And could this be the first hint at a reinvented Berlingo for the electric era?
Join us as we find out — creatively, cleverly and very Citroën-ly.
