Citroën UK has revealed pricing and specification details for the new Ami and its light goods variant, My Ami Cargo. The passenger version, which has the official title of  Ami 100% ëlectric – is offered in three trim levels, with customers able to personalise their vehicle further with a choice of three Colour Packs. The entry-level Ami trim offers the most affordable point of entry, priced at £7,695 OTR. Standard specification includes a digital speedometer, LED front and rear lights, a panoramic glass sunroof and a USB charging port. 

Customers can enhance their Ami by adding one of three Colour Packs: Orange, Blue or Grey. These are priced at £400 and are designed to be fitted easily at home. Each pack comes with colour-coded wheel trims, rear pillar decals, three colour-coded dashboard storage boxes, a dashboard bag hook and exterior door capsules. Two door storage nets with a colour-coded horizontal band and two black floor mats with colour-coded trim complete the pack. 

In addition, all Colour Packs add a separation net between the driver and passenger footwells, a smartphone cradle for the dashboard and a connection box that allows customers to check their Ami’s charge status and more, from the MyCitroën mobile app. 

Ami 100% ëlectric customers can also choose from two higher trim levels offering even greater levels of customisation: 'Ami Pop' and 'Ami Vibe'. 

Ami Pop combines the Orange Colour Pack with black trim on the Ami’s front face, lower front and rear bumpers, and around the rear lights. Pop models also feature a black rear spoiler and orange decals surrounding the door capsules featuring a number ‘2’ design.

Ami Vibe models feature a black finish to the top of the front bumper, front and rear bumper bases, and rear light surrounds, and adds two decorative black roof rails, black wheel arches and ‘Contours’ decals on the doors and front wings.

Both 'Ami Pop' and 'Ami Vibe' are supplied with their customisations fitted at the factory, and are priced at £8,495 and £8,895 OTR respectively.

For businesses carrying out short distance or last-mile deliveries, Ami Cargo is offered in a single specification, priced at £7,995 OTR. In place of the passenger seat, the Cargo features a modular storage area that can be configured for a range of business needs. This consists of a modular upper surface, a divider between the driver and cargo areas, a modular cargo floor with two positions, and a lidded box in the rear creating 260-litres of storage space. Coupled with the interior storage already present on-board, My Ami Cargo offers a total load capacity of 400-litres.

All versions of Ami feature a 8bhp electric motor, allowing the new model to reach a top speed of 27.9mph, and a 5.5kWh battery that gives it a range of more than 46 miles under * World Motorcycle Test Cycle (WMTC) testing. As the Ami is legally classed as a quadricycle rather than a car, it is not subject to WLTP testing. 

A charging cable is built into the passenger door frame and attaches (using a supplied adapter) to a Type 2 connector. This allows a full charge to be completed in three hours from a home Wallbox or a public charging point.

While Citroen has announced the list price of the vehicle, the French firm has yet to reveal financing options. In France, customers can lease an Ami from as little as €20 per month (albeit with a large initial deposit). French customers placing the lowest deposit amount (€900) pay around €90 for a mid-spec model (with a 48 month contract). Based on this, Electrifying.com estimates that UK customers will be looking at a monthly lease cost of between £80-£120 according to specification. The brand may also offer the Ami on a simpler subscription scheme that would come with a much shorter commitment period. 

Both Ami models will be sold exclusively online, with customers able to place orders through a dedicated Citroën Ami digital platform. An in-house ‘Ami Expert’ team will be on hand throughout the purchase journey and will shortly be contacting the 2,000+ customers who have already reserved an Ami. During the checkout process online, customers will be offered either home delivery for a small fee or collection from their nearest approved Ami retailer.
