Citroën presents the ë-LO, its new electric minivan
The French brand Citroën, part of the Stellantis conglomerate, unveils its latest release: the ë-LO. This electric vehicle arrives to fill a market niche where rivals with 100% electric propulsion are currently scarce. It is built on the group's modular architecture, which allows integrating different types of powertrains. 🚗
A design that prioritizes utility
The Citroën ë-LO features an aesthetic that distances itself from predominant SUVs, returning to the pure lines of a classic minivan. Its body, with contained dimensions, presents a reduced hood and a very straight front to optimize space in the cabin. The front headlights are narrow and connect with the brand's new luminous visual identity. At the rear, the taillights have a vertical layout. The goal is unequivocal: achieve the greatest possible interior capacity.
Key design features:- Compact silhouette with vertical front to gain interior space.
- Slim headlights connected to Citroën's characteristic light signature.
- Rear taillights with vertical design that reinforce the functional image.
The goal is clear: offer the greatest possible capacity within reduced dimensions.
Electric powertrain and performance
The electric ë-LO variant mounts a powertrain that delivers 156 HP of power and a lithium-ion battery pack with 54 kWh capacity. According to the WLTP protocol, it can reach up to 400 kilometers without needing to recharge. The system accepts alternating current charging with powers up to 11 kW and is also compatible with fast DC charging.
Technical details of the powertrain:- Electric motor with 156 horsepower.
- 54 kWh battery that allows a WLTP range of 400 km.
- Fast charging that recovers 80% of the battery in about 30 minutes.
Interior and final thoughts
Inside the cabin, the driver finds a digital screen for the instrument cluster and a central infotainment system. Although it promises great habitability, its very pragmatic aesthetic could generate mixed opinions about its appearance in the urban environment. In short, the Citroën ë-LO represents a firm bet on electrification in a family segment that demands more sustainable and practical options. ⚡
