Citroën was present at the Mercado Livre Experience (Meli XP) event and presented Brazil with its newest electric minicars. The Citroën Ami made its first public appearance in the country at this event, but there had been rumors for several months that the company would bring the launch to Brazilian soil.

The Citroën Ami is the vehicle that attracts the most attention at the company’s booth, as it is considered an efficient solution for urban and logistics transportation. The microcar is fully electric and has a 6 kW motor, giving it the essential agility for various conditions. The microcar’s maximum speed is limited to 45 kilometers per hour, but what stands out the most is its weight, as the small car weighs only 485 kg.
