CITROËN E-MEHARI : A FREE SPIRIT

The E-MEHARI is a vehicle connected to the history ofthe brand but with its sights set squarely on thefuture. It is a wink to an iconic vehicle, the 1968Méhari, but also far more than that: it is a cheery, allelectric4-seater cabriolet with modern, fun styling.Through this new stage of its partnership with theBolloré Group, CITROËN is confirming its ambition tobring to market cheery, optimistic vehicles that aredifferent from the rest.

Stylish, confident, offbeat, and even sassy….. we could use so many words to describe the new model byCITROËN. The E-MEHARI is a bold, vibrant vehicle, very much in tune with the CITROËN spirit. The E-MEHARI isan “it car”, designed to appeal to customers looking for an alternative vehicle with a positive outlook on life,attentive to trends and to the environment.Incomparable, silent and stress-free, the E-MEHARI stands apart as a free spirit in the automotive market!

A UNIQUE PERSONALITY

 

The exterior design of E-MEHARI reflects CITROËN’s positioning. All the brand styling cues are visible, including:

• an expressive gaze with dual headlights, the signature of the CITROËN brand;

• a unique, optimistic design featuring full, warm contours, smooth lines and a smiling front end;

• clean styling, symbolising true, simple pleasures, another way of talking about driveability.

This charismatic personality is accompanied by radical choices in colour. The E-MEHARI offers a wide range ofpossibilities for personalisation with:

- four body colours: blue, as an invitation to get away from it all, orange to convey a sense of energy andoptimism, an invigorating yellow and an elegant beige.

- two roof colours: black and orange-red.

- Two interior trim colours: a natural-looking beige and a high-tech orange-red with a central pattern inspired bywater sports. Both are made of plastic-coated fabric and are completely waterproof. This makes the wildestassociations possible for all those looking for a colourful, expressive and fun car.

The E-MEHARI features a raised body, with touches of black provided by the wing extenders, lower valance andbumper. A clear nod to the world of leisure and fun.

As a result, the E-MEHARI is a vehicle of fresh, expressive styling that will appeal to buyers looking for a distinctive,attractive car.

AN ORIGINAL MINDSET

 

The mindset of E-MEHARI reflects that of an iconic CITROËN vehicle, the Méhari, through its looks and characteras well as its practical, leisure-oriented side. Like the Méhari, launched in 1968, the E-MEHARI is:

- convertible, with a removable top closed at the side by a foldaway system with large windows. Users can coverthe front, the rear, the side or the whole vehicle;

- fitted with four real seats, including a folding rear bench ;

- equipped with a raised chassis for all-terrain driving;

- made with bodywork of thermoformed plastic: a material that is corrosion-free, with maintenance-free paintworkand the elasticity to withstand minor impacts;

- easy to use: it can be hosed all over, both inside and out.

The ribbed door pattern is a nod to the designers of the original Méhari and the undulating lines of the bodywork.Similarly, the exterior colours reflect those present on the launch of the Méhari.

This link with the Méhari, a legendary vehicle that left its mark on its times, gives the E-MEHARI a strong identity.Its distinctive approach will appeal all those looking for authenticity and fun.

 

A LIBERATING DRIVING EXPERIENCE

 

Although the E-MEHARI is a vehicle of simple, relaxed design, it nevertheless features advanced technology. It is anall-electric vehicle with battery technology based on the expertise of France’s Bolloré Group. With its LMP® (LithiumMetal Polymer) batteries, the E-MEHARI combines a long range with performance, reliability and security.

LMP batteries are recognised for their energy density and safety in use. They are dry batteries (it means “fully solid”)giving them many advantages such as not being weather-sensitive. They give the E-MEHARI a top speed of 110 kphwith a range of 200 km in the city.

These functional batteries can be fully recharged in eight hours on a 16A socket (domestic station or public stationssuch as Autolib in France), or in 13 hours on a 10A domestic socket.

As a result, the E-MEHARI conveys a new sense of freedom and relaxation, allying the joys of open-top driving withthe acceleration, ease, and silence of an electric vehicle.

Built at the PSA PEUGEOT CITROËN plant in Rennes, the E-MEHARI will launch in France in spring 2016.

The E-MEHARI will be showcased in Paris as world premiere from December 9th to 11th, within the Eco Driving Center inthe framework of the COP 21, at the PSA Peugeot Citroën’s headquarter.

Cena rovinata

[stefano1234 641]

Adesso è troppo!!!!

Ma perché le due marche che mi piacevano di più ( Citroën e Lancia) sono state ridotte così?

Forse è vero... Non c'è più la gente in grado di apprezzare quello che queste marche storiche rappresentavano, e per vederle svilite così, forse meglio vederle morte e sepolte ?

Ma è opera di qualche carrozziere? Ma gli specchio sbaglio ho sono quelli della panda?

lo sapevo, lo sapevo che veniva fuori una çagata

[Pandino 5,487]

Simpatica, nelle località di mare potrebbe vendere qualcosina

Avrei gradito però un po' più di cura per la plancia, che imho fa un po' cagare...

PS: ha gli specchietti della Panda M.Y. 2011

Particolare è particolare ma tutt'altro che bella e proporzionata, specialmente in altezza. Nome a parte, del modello originale conserva giusto alcuni tratti ma per i miei gusti il risultato finale è discutibile.
