Citroen presents its 19_19 Concept

To celebrate 100 years of boldness and creativity at the service of freedom of movement, Citroen was duty bound to present a spectacular object.

The 19_19 Concept is a disruptive Citroen manifesto that rewrites the rulebook and illustrates a vision of mobility that is deliberately unconventional, futuristic looking and constraint-free.

Boasting exceptional proportions for the automotive segment - and inspired by the worlds of aviation and interior design - the 19_19 Concept is immediately recognisable through its pure and streamlined shapes, its skilfully worked technological details, and through the various ways in which it can be interpreted.

Taking comfort to a new level, with a cabin constituting a true living room on wheels, the 19_19 Concept pushes the limits of the Citroen Advanced Comfort programme.

The cabin is suspended on a new suspension system with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions combined with smart active control. It features a unique layout influenced by the world of furniture with individual seats, each one expressing a different vision of comfort.

The 19_19 Concept is also innovative and futuristic through its autonomous driving technology.

With the help of artificial intelligence, the concept car is equipped with a 'Personal Assistant' built into the dashboard.

It takes control of the vehicle during autonomous driving and interacts with passengers via an intuitive and proactive system that anticipates the needs of each occupant.

19_19 Concept reduces the carbon footprint of travel, heightens on-board comfort through the absence of noise and vibration, and proves that 100% electric drivetrains are suited to long journeys with a Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure range of up to 800km. Created to offer relaxed transportation, the concept car charges via induction technology where the infrastructure is in place, either when the car is moving or when it is stationary.

The 19_19 Concept is Citroen's take on tomorrow's car travel, inspired by a desire for liberated and restorative mobility. It will be revealed in a world premiere at VivaTech in Paris on 16 May 2019.
