This Might Be The Most Important Car Of The Decade…

What a strange and wonderful thing new concept EV is from Citroën. Jack has been extended an invitation to provide his initial feedback on the Citroën Oli. A brand-new idea electric car from Citroen.
Indeed, it is quite likely that this won't make it into production; but, trees grow from seedlings. The question now is what will be put into production. It's fairly certain that the design language will evolve the Citroën brand, but will anything else?

I love seeing the return of weird from Citroen... For too long they've been a bit conventional, this is what we need.

[TristanG.]

I absolutely love the design principles. strip out as much as you can, make it as affordable as you can, and make it fun. I'm so excited for Citroën's future

[johnbowyer]

Citroën should now put all this quirkiness of design and super light weight into an all new electric CV2 model for mass production.😊

[piccalillipit]

Citron doing what Citroen does best, really weird quirky stuff.

Stuff that you don't truly get until two decades after it's gone out of production, and then it's a total genius emerges.

The biggest thing that bugs me with most new cars is the width. They are all starting to push 1.9 m. In small roads and tight city spaces, the width is much more of an issue than length or height.

It's amazing. I'm surprised no car maker has yet figured out how to make products like Ikea does, innovative light design that doesn't compromise on function.

[deeser]

A weirdly delicious combo of style, practical engineering and fun. I like it a lot!

[airborneinferno]

My first car was a 2CV. This feels like a proper spiritual successor. Please Citroën, just make it!

5:03 depends on what you want. if you want something that is efficient at highway speed then aerodynamics matter alot. if you want something for slower speed like city driving them weight matters alot.

[Laurynas_LTU]

This looks like an SUV and I was about to turn away from this video, but when Jack exaplained that this car attempts at fixing the problems and told about the weight (a tonne?!) I was pleasantly surprised and watched the whole thing with hope for future mass production cars to follow this example. Please, show us more cars like this. Thank you.

[MrFreesearcher]

One Ton. My first car, a 1985 VW Polo weighed 700kg. I like the fact that the Oli looks like a toy US Army Hummer.

[camieljansen]

I cannot stress enough how much I want this to happen. It’d be my first new car, first ev, but i would by it, drive it and love it instantly. Damn!

[Alex-cwrz]

We already knew how to make a cheap affordable practical car it's called a hatchback, we don't have to re-invent the car. We just have to look backwards and make it sustainable, and cheap not what EV's companies think is cheap, actually cheap like back then.

[MP_pov]

This is exactly the sort of car Citroen should be making. Love it

[budawang]

Love it. Building on Citroen's heritage of bold and unusual design. I remember marvelling at the Citroen DS as a child.

From the immense positive reaction it received in France, I wouldn't dismiss the idea that Citroën is working on a production version of the OLI. One of the main concerns I heard was about the hygiene of the seats when you imagine long hairs entangled in the honeycombs, thus they would be covered with a light fabric.

[jamesonau]

Love this, what a great concept. Would buy in a heartbeat. Great video.
3:30 40kWh battery: 250 miles=402km | 6m/kWh = 9.67 km/kWh or 10.34 kWh/100km

[matthewmartin]

Absolutely fantastic. As the great Colin Chapman said “simplify then add lightness” and that’s exactly what Citroen are doing. Really hope they make this car.

[_luca]

Love the design and idea, would like to see more of those in the future. What more do we actually really need?

Just a thought about seats. I have a fairly expensive office chair that is built in a similar manner. The chair is brilliant and light, and very comfortable. It is perfect in summer as your important parts will not sweat. In winter it needs to be upgraded with some cushioning because it gets too breezy. I still love it though.
