What Citroen does

Citroen is a French automobile manufacturer founded in 1919 by André Citroën, operating today as a wholly-owned brand subsidiary of Stellantis N.V., the world's fourth-largest automaker formed in 2021 through the PSA–Fiat Chrysler merger. The brand designs, manufactures, and markets passenger and commercial vehicles spanning the ultra-compact urban quadricycle (AMI), compact hatchbacks (C3), subcompact SUVs (C3 Aircross), sedans (C4, C4 X), family SUVs (C5 Aircross), and a full commercial van range (Berlingo, SpaceTourer, Jumpy, Jumper), offered across petrol, diesel, mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric powertrains. Its proprietary Advanced Comfort program (progressive hydraulic cushions, advanced seating, and noise reduction) is the principal engineering differentiator, supplemented by dual-chemistry battery expertise (NMC for range, LFP for cost/longevity), regenerative braking with selectable modes, and a pre-conditioning thermal management system backed by an 8-year/160,000 km traction-battery warranty.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time vehicle sales across passenger and commercial segments, complemented by subscription and credit-based financing via Stellantis Financial Services, certified pre-owned sales through Spoticar, short/long-term rentals via Free2Move Rent, EV charging services via Free2Move Charge (1M+ European charging points), and (in India) usage-based Battery-as-a-Service. Distribution combines a 350+ authorized service network in Spain and Stellantis's global dealer footprint with an owned e-commerce channel (store.citroen.es), dedicated Professional Centers for B2B/fleet customers, and exports from India to Africa and ASEAN. Customer segments span individual consumers (urban commuters to families), business and fleet operators, small and medium businesses, and professional mobility providers, served with a hybrid segmentation approach. Pricing spans entry-level urban EVs from €9,290 (AMI), mainstream EVs from €17,100, and financing entry points from €25-89/month, positioning the brand on accessible affordability within Stellantis's mass-market portfolio.

Direct head-to-head competition in dealerships.
