Since 1919, the Citroën brand has shown boldness and an unfailing human attachment. On the strength of its more than 100 years' old heritage and more than 300 models, some of which have forever marked the automotive industry. We invite you to dive into this epic history that all began with the visionary genius of André Citroën.
Why Chevrons?André Citroën bought a patent in Poland in 1900 on a chevron-shaped gear used in milling. He created a business specialised in the production of these gears and it becomes a success. When he began manufacturing cars in 1919, he chose this double chevrons which has led to his success, as his logo.
In 2019, the Brand sold 1 million vehicles in over 90 countries. Citroën has a renewed range that is dynamic, strong and consistent, thanks to several major launches since 2016. Models that share a distinctive design and a high level of comfort. Product dynamics are also boosted by the iconic aspect of the Brand, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2019.
