Citroën Launches Social Campaign for Electric 2CV
Citroën (part of Stellantis) has begun a social-media campaign to promote an upcoming electric version of the 2CV, ahead of an official unveiling at the Paris Motor Show in October 2026. The campaign centers on a digital adaptation of the French board game “Petits Chevaux,” built around an interactive gameboard with quizzes, polls and other mini-interactions tied to the 2CV’s history. The promotion runs until 12 October 2026, is active on Citroën’s international Instagram account, and offers prizes such as Citroën Lifestyle Shop items and tickets to the Paris salon. Citroën previously announced the electric city car, which is expected to reach the market around 2028 at an estimated price of about €15,000.
A brand-level social campaign for an upcoming electric vehicle is relevant to marketers, agencies and paid-social teams but is not a platform policy or industry-shifting technical announcement.
