Peugeot and Citroën cancel their projects in the A-segment market
- The Stellantis group has decided to cancel plans for the future Peugeot and Citroën A-segment models, which were to replace the Peugeot 108 and Citroën C1, whose production was halted last summer at the Czech plant in Kolin.
- The models planned for 2025, coded P44 for the Peugeot and CJ4 for the Citroën, were supposed to be small SUVs of 4.15 m long representing the new entry level of the two brands. These vehicles were intended to be marketed with an electric powertrain. At Peugeot, for example, the future e-1008 would have been cheaper than an e-2008 or an e-208.
- Because these two models were already in preparation, they took over an existing platform, the “low cost” CMP of the Citroën C3 produced in India from 2021 and adapted to this market, and not the future “Small” platform, not yet in production. These future small models were planned to be offered in emerging markets in South America, in particular with thermal engines (gasoline).
- For cost reasons, but also because since the start of the CJ4-P44 project (May 2019) the Stellantis group was created and gave priority to Fiat and Citroën to invest in emerging markets, the future small projects have been purely cancelled. The Stellantis group continues despite everything in the A-segment, with the Fiat brand and the e-500, which could be the only one to be positioned at the long term in the A-segment within the group, since the replacement of the Panda will be repositioned on the B-segment.
