The Citroën Ami is produced at a rate of 12,000 units per year
- The European market of small urban vehicles (L6/L7 segments) is estimated at around 40,000 vehicles a year. Until the arrival of Renault (Twizy) and Citroën (AMI) on this small market, the leaders were mainly French (Ligier, Aixam, Microcar). The arrival of Renault and, above all, Citroën has a made a breakthrough in this market, due to their low prices (€7,800 for an AMI) and their purely electric powertrains, which were not the norm for these segments. The Renault Twizy, launched in 2011, had already a first attempt in this market, but its conception was closer to a scooter than a car. So it wasn't a big success.
- The purely electric Citroën AMI launched in 2020 is closer to the concept of car. It has been a honest success, selling around 12,000 units a year, or 36,000 over three years, with production taking place at the Kenitra plant in Morocco. As a result, the Citroën AMI quickly became the best-selling car of these segments. And the Stellantis Group has decided to replicate this success for its other access brands, such as Opel and Fiat.
- In 2022, the Opel version was launched on the market, with a style very similar to that of the Citroën. This version is aimed primarily at the German market and bordering markets (Austria, Netherlands, Switzerland).
- In 2024, the Fiat version will be added, with a new style reminiscent of the old Fiat 500, but still based on the Citroën AMI. This version will be aimed more at the Italian and Moroccan markets. With these three models, Stellantis hopes to achieve sales of 20,000 per year, or 50% of the small car market.
