Citroën Ami
Citroën Ami My Ami
The compact Citroën Ami My Ami suits city parking and narrow streets. Charging adds about 3 miles in 10 minutes in the figures shown here, so consider available charging time alongside your journey needs.
By eight years on the road it should still hold about 90% of its battery health, roughly 51 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you're buying used. What owners say: Appealing, fun design that generates positive public attention and curiosity. 28-29mph top speed makes it unsafe and illegal on motorways and faster A-roads.

What Owners Say
BalancedOwners Love
- Appealing, fun design that generates positive public attention and curiosity
- Excellent value proposition, especially at discounted prices or lease rates under £50/month
- Well-suited for urban and city commuting with short trips under 30mph
Watch Out For
- 28-29mph top speed makes it unsafe and illegal on motorways and faster A-roads
- Limited range and impractical cargo capacity restrict real-world usability
- Multiple reported issues including door rattles, water ingress from doors and wheel wells, and poor build quality
Owner Tips
- Best suited as a second or third car for urban dwellers making exclusively short city trips under 30mph
- Use proper EU 2-pin to UK 13amp adapters and install dedicated EVSE equipment for safe home charging
- Inspect doors, wheel wells, and weld seams immediately upon purchase given reported build quality issues
