Citroën had offered minivans in its catalog for 30 years.
An adventure that began with the Evasion in 1994, when minivans were very popular.
Today, among general manufacturers, no one seems to believe in it anymore.
As for premium brands, note that BMW (Series 2 Active Tourer) and Mercedes (Class B) are still present in this segment.
At Citroën, we explain that the needs and desires of customers have changed, and that the expression of modernity goes through other silhouettes.
In other words, the minivan is old-fashioned, customers no longer swear today by SUVs and other crossovers.
The 3-door Fiesta met with too little success.
In this configuration, customers indeed prefer the Mini or the Fiat 500. Ford's decision to stop production of this model will also have the effect of freeing up space on the production lines of the Cologne plant. , for electric models that will use Volkswagen's MEB platform.
It will be an SUV and a small crossover.
As you will have understood, in the long term, the Fiesta (a model born in 1976) may well disappear too.
