2026 Citroen AMI[FOR]ALL

• The Citroen ami[for]all adapts the standard Ami with a 90-degree opening door, a fold-out transfer board and hand controls for gas and brake.
  

• Wheelchairs can be carried inside on the passenger seat or on an aluminum rear rack when a second passenger rides along.
  

• Performance matches the standard Ami: 45 km/h top speed, up to 75 km of WMTC range, and a 5.5kWh battery that charges in under four hours.

Citroen has opened order books in Germany for the ami[for]all, a version of the Citroen Ami built specifically for people with lower-limb impairments, particularly wheelchair users. The goal is straightforward: give people more independence for short trips without needing a companion or public transport. It's the same electric microcar underneath, but with a set of mechanical and functional changes aimed at making entry, exit and driving itself considerably easier.

A Wider-Opening Door Built for Transfers

The most visible change is the driver's door, which now opens to 90 degrees rather than the standard angle, making a sideways transfer from wheelchair to seat far more practical. A fold-out transfer board bridges the gap between wheelchair and seat, while a grab loop mounted on the door frame gives extra support during the move. None of these changes alter the Ami's compact footprint or basic silhouette — the modifications are functional rather than cosmetic.

Same Compact Proportions as the Standard Ami

At just 2.41 meters long with a 7.20-meter turning circle, the Ami was already built for tight urban spaces, and the ami[for]all keeps those same dimensions. That compactness matters here specifically — a car this small and easy to maneuver is part of what makes the adapted controls practical for daily short trips rather than just theoretically accessible.

Hand Controls Keep the Interior Simple

Alongside the standard pedals, the ami[for]all adds a mechanical hand lever for controlling acceleration and braking. The pedals remain functional too, so the car can still be driven by someone without mobility limitations — a detail that keeps the vehicle usable across different households rather than locking it to a single driver. A steering wheel knob makes maneuvering and parking easier for someone operating the car primarily by hand.

Two Ways to Carry a Wheelchair

Owners get a choice for transporting the wheelchair itself: inside the cabin on the passenger seat, or — if a second person is riding along — mounted on an aluminum rear rack. That flexibility lets the same vehicle work whether the driver is traveling solo or with a passenger.

Electric Specs Carry Over From the Standard Ami

Performance and range match the regular production Ami: a top speed of 45 km/h and up to 75 kilometers of range on the WMTC cycle, drawn from a 5.5kWh battery that charges fully in under four hours from a standard household outlet. The car can be driven from age 15 with an AM license category, keeping it accessible to younger drivers as well as adults with mobility needs.

Built by a German Specialist, Rooted in an Employee Idea

The conversion is handled by German specialist Mobilcenter Zawatzky and is TÜV-certified, with the modification kit compatible across every configurable version of the Ami, from base model to higher-equipped variants. The ami[for]all itself originated inside Stellantis's Star*Up intrapreneurship program, which supports employee-driven ideas. After launching in France in 2023, it's now also available in Italy and, as of this announcement, Germany — where Citroen Germany CEO Thomas Goldboom says the car fits exactly the accessible-mobility philosophy behind both the Ami and the brand itself.
