The Citroën Ami redefines urban micro-mobility with its quirky personality and ultra-compact electric design. Measuring just 2.41 meters long, this two-seater quadricycle is built specifically for crowded city streets. Its boxy yet charming styling, asymmetric doors, and minimalist cabin make it stand out instantly. Powered by an 8 hp electric motor and a 5.5 kWh battery, the Ami offers a practical driving range of up to 75 km with a top speed of 45 km/h. It can be charged from a regular household socket in around four hours, making it ideal for short daily commutes. In many countries, it can even be driven from the age of 14 without a full driving license.
For 2026, the Ami receives subtle styling updates, new color customization packs, and special editions such as the Dark Side and Buggy variants, adding more character to its already playful appeal. The focus remains on affordability, zero emissions, low running costs, and effortless parking in tight urban spaces.
In India, however, Citroën has no official plans to launch the Ami in 2026, prioritizing mainstream models like the C3 and other upcoming EVs. Interested buyers would need to rely on grey-market imports, with estimated on-road prices ranging between ₹8 lakh and ₹15 lakh or more depending on import duties and modifications.

Citroen Ami FAQS
Is the Citroën Ami street-legal in India?
The Citroën Ami is classified as a light quadricycle (L6e) in Europe, with a maximum speed of 45 km/h. In India, vehicles in this category are not clearly covered under current CMVR rules for four-wheelers. Most RTOs treat it like a slow electric vehicle or treat it as a three-wheeler equivalent. You will almost certainly need a valid four-wheeler driving licence (LMV), registration, insurance, and PUC. However, official type-approval and homologation for Indian roads have not been obtained yet. Grey-market units may face registration hurdles in many states.
What documents are required to register a grey-market Citroën Ami in India?
Typical documents needed include: original export invoice, foreign registration certificate, bill of lading/shipping documents, customs clearance (BCD + IGST paid), homologation certificate (if any), speed governor certificate (mandatory for <50 km/h vehicles), battery test reports, and Form 20/21/22. Many RTOs demand temporary/import permit first. Process is lengthy (3–9 months) and success varies by state (Delhi, Maharashtra, Karnataka more lenient; others stricter).
What is the real-world range of the Citroën Ami in Indian traffic?
The official WLTP range is 75 km. In dense Indian city traffic (stop-go, AC on, 30–38 °C ambient temperature), real-world range usually drops to 48–62 km per charge. On relatively free-flowing roads with moderate AC usage, 65–70 km is achievable. Range is very sensitive to aggressive acceleration, heavy loads, and high temperatures.
Can children or teenagers drive the Citroën Ami in India?
No. In Europe, 14–16 year olds with AM licence can drive it. In India there is no equivalent learner/amateur category for quadricycles. A person must hold at least a learner’s licence (later permanent LMV licence) to legally operate it on public roads. Age minimum is 18 years for a permanent licence.
How much does it cost to charge the Citroën Ami at home in India?
The battery is 5.5 kWh. At average domestic rate of ₹7–8 per unit (Lucknow / UP 2026 tariff), a full charge costs roughly ₹38–45. Public fast chargers (if compatible DC slow charger is used) may cost ₹12–18/unit, so ₹65–100 for full charge. Monthly running cost for 800–1,000 km is typically ₹400–600.
What kind of service and spare parts support exists for Citroën Ami in India?
As of 2026, there is no official Citroën sales/service network for the Ami in India. Grey-market owners usually depend on local multi-brand EV garages, online import of parts from Europe (long wait, high customs), or third-party mechanics familiar with European small EVs. Common wear items (tyres, brakes, suspension bushes) are relatively easy to source locally, but body panels, specific electronics, and battery modules must be imported. Maintenance cost is moderate but downtime can be long.
