What is the Citroën E-Méhari?
The E-Méhari is an electric, open-top car with a relaxed, beach-car character. Its name and styling nod to Citroën’s original Méhari, while its electric drive gave that idea a modern form. A fabric roof and a simple, washable interior suited casual trips and fair-weather driving. It stood apart from Citroën’s regular hatchbacks and family cars as a distinctive small cabriolet.
Developed with the French Bolloré group, the E-Méhari had ridged doors that echoed the original Méhari’s bodywork. It was registered in the European Union from 2016 to 2019; its first generation ran from 2017 to 2019.
