Facing the dominance of SUVs, Citroën wants to revive the minivan

Minivans coming back? On December 9, Citroën will unveil the concept of such a vehicle, which at just over 4 meters long, barely more than a C3 city car, is capable of carrying six people with three passengers per row. Unbeatable. “I believe in the return of the minivan”, enthused Gilles Vidal, new style director for the European brand Stellantis, during a meeting with several journalists at the Vélizy (Yvelines) technical center.

The minivan is a rational body “with maximum interior space” compared to large numbers. The Renault defector just added: “This vehicle must be made more attractive” compared to the past when they sometimes looked like utility vehicles. And Citroën is “legitimate” for a model like this, emphasized the chief designer.
