Platform shared with the C4 Cactus and built by Sino-French joint venture Dongfeng Citroën, the C-Elysee will launch as the E-Elysée in 2017 – but only in China.

It features a lithium-ion battery offering a 155-mile range, and can be rapid charged in 30 minutes, or in 6.5 hours on normal-rate charging points.

Selected European markets get the C-Elysée, but Citroën has not confirmed whether it will produce the E-Elysée in Europe, or in any products available in the region.
