Citroën Ami: electric quadricycle, versions and what to know
Citroën Ami — the smallest electric vehicle on the market, introduced in 2020. This isn't your typical car, but a light quadricycle with two seats. We look at who it's suited to, which versions are available, and what to check when buying a used Ami.
Ami at a glance
The Ami is an electric quadricycle around 2.4m long, with a top speed limited to 45 km/h. It's designed for short urban journeys and those who don't need a conventional car.
A standout Ami feature is its symmetrical body: left and right doors, as well as the front and rear, share many identical parts, reducing production costs. The interior is basic: mostly plastic and minimal controls.
Versions
The Ami was offered in several main variants: the base Pop, the more sporty Vibe with added accents, the open-top Buggy, and the single-seat Cargo, tailored for small businesses.
Regardless of the version, the tech is essentially the same. Differences are mainly visual and related to body details and customisation.
Battery and driving
The Ami has a small, around 5.5 kWh battery, allowing for a range of about 75 km. It charges from a standard household socket in a few hours.
Engine power is modest, so the Ami is best suited to city driving and speed-limited zones. It's not ideal where faster speeds are needed.
What to check when buying a used Ami
Check which driver's category is required in Lithuania and how the car is registered. Ensure all documents are present and meet category requirements.
Ask the seller to demonstrate the real-world range when fully charged, and check the charging from the nest. Inspect plastic parts, doors, windows, and lighting, as the car's body is lightweight and susceptible to damage.
Pay attention to the suspension and brakes, as the Ami is lightweight, but its parts can wear out quickly if used intensively.
