CITROËN SPARKS THE IMAGINATION WITH ANOTHER NEW
CONCEPT FOR GENEVA - THE GLAMOROUS, FREE-SPIRITED
& HIGHLY-CHARGED SURVOLT
Citroën has revealed an electrifying new model at the
Geneva Motor Show - the sensational SURVOLT concept.
A blend of high-fashion, extravagance and more than a
hint of motor racing punch, SURVOLT takes the essence of
Citroën’s REVOLTe
concept - performance, cutting-edge technology and
luxury - and adds an assertive sporting dimension into
the mix.
A new breed of stylish, sporty and elegant supermini,
SURVOLT bucks current trends and points towards the
future of sleek coupés - combining elegance,
sophisticated style and sporting passion. Clearly
ahead of its time, SURVOLT also captivates the
imagination with its innovative,
environmentally-conscious all-electric drivetrain, which
delivers driving pleasure, thrills and performance - all
in virtual silence.
With a sleek, compact and low-slung frame - 3.85m long,
1.87m wide & 1.2m high - SURVOLT takes inspiration
from sports car styling, then casts convention aside to
form an entirely new and revolutionary concept design.
SURVOLT’s aerodynamic, flowing lines convey
agility, precision and vitality - with a powerful,
muscular character contained in its refined and
luxurious frame.
Both charming and profound, SURVOLT’s distinctive
profile features a voluptuous bonnet and generous,
sculpted flanks highlighted by emphatic wheel arches.
The front end is characterised by slim, horizontal
headlights, a large oval-shaped grille with Citroën’s
integrated double chevrons and an eye-catching vehicle
badge design. The striking LED clusters also add a
contemporary, high-tech flourish. At the rear,
SURVOLT inherits the elegant light signature of the REVOLTe
concept and gains a new spoiler - an essential reference
to motor sport.
An evolution of REVOLTe
distinctive colour palette, SURVOLT’s two-tone paintwork
features shades of fuchsia and charcoal grey. The
concept’s elegant curves, shifting from satin-smooth to
shiny, are a clear departure from the classically
masculine design codes of the sports car world and the
use of chrome and aluminium throughout simultaneously
references the worlds of luxury and motor racing.
Resembling a piece of fashionable jewellery, SURVOLT’s
two-occupant cockpit is designed like a glass setting
between the chrome-finished roll bars. The
generous glazed area brings a sensation of light and
space, which sets SURVOLT apart from many contemporary
sports cars with their confined and gloomy cabin
environments.
Citroën’s new and radical vision with SURVOLT is
entirely consistent with the Company’s 90-years of
history as an innovative brand, focused on creativity
and technology.
