Citroën Ami: Reinventing Automotive Retail for a New Era of Urban Mobility
Customer Journey
Signage and Environment Design
To launch Citroën Ami, a 100% electric, ultra-accessible urban vehicle, Citroën and Lonsdale set out to disrupt traditional automotive retail. The goal: create an innovative, inclusive sales experience aligned with new consumer habits—digital-first, cost-conscious, and convenience-driven.
Breaking with conventional dealership models, Citroën partnered with Fnac Darty, pioneers in lifestyle and mobility retail, and introduced mobile test centers in custom-designed containers placed in high-traffic urban areas. This was complemented by a selective presence in Citroën’s official network.
Lonsdale developed a unique retail concept inspired by an assembly game box, using raw materials like wood and metal, vibrant orange tones, and pegboard-style displays with playful elastic fasteners. The concept extended to packaging design for customization kits, echoing Ami’s modular, gamified spirit.
The impact was immediate: 200 online orders in the first week, 39 Fnac Darty points of sale by summer, and over 100 participating Citroën dealerships.
Recognition: Gold at the Grand Prix Stratégies du Design (Environment & Signage), Top Com Consumer Award, and e-Marketing Award for Best Customer Acquisition Campaign.
A retail experience as disruptive and democratic as the vehicle itself.
