This is the Citroen Ami Buggy!
This wild set of wheels may be one of the weirdest (and smallest!) cars Mat has reviewed on our channel. But even so, that won’t stop him from giving it the proper carwow review treatment!
So, what exactly is the Ami Buggy? Well, it’s meant to be a more rugged/extreme version of Citroen’s small city-goer, the Ami. It’s built on the same platform as the regular Ami, so it still puts down 8hp & 40Nm of torque. It’s only got a top speed of 28mph, and it should have a range of around 50 miles.
However, elsewhere there are a whole load of changes! The Ami Buggy comes equipped with off-road tyres and extended wheel arches, while there’s also a roof spoiler up top and a full-length light bar!
It’s only a concept for now, but the question is, should the Ami Buggy go into production? You’ll have to stick with Mat to find out!

Love to see Citroen still have fun with car design, it's ridiculous machines like this that really push automotive progression
8:52
I can see it being rather interesting with 2X the power, 10kwh of batteries, awd and a single central seat, with suspension incorporated in the seat. It would be like a little personal go-anywhere capsule.
This is why I love Citroen. They make some goofy, weird stuff and its always super fun and lighthearted.
And always low-powered.
@@joecausey8508 what about Citroen Saxo 1.6L 16v VTS? 118hp and only 930kg. That's better Power to weight ratio than a Miata or a Civic from the same year....
Bro you need an ambulance
This is why you need to hate on the Citroen Ami
Hello, i'm French, the Ami as been design for Sand-Beach-Car, like the old Citroen Mehari, nothing more, just chilling in the sand with your friends, so enjoy it.
All the production of the Ami Buggy has been sell in two hours in France (430 pcs) and in 10 hours in the rest of the Europe (800 pcs). The first production (50 pcs) in 2018 has been sell in 18 mins literaly.
Sorry for my bad english, i made lot of mistake ^^'
Imagine this with like 50 hp instead of 8hp
That would be epic
@Youra🐬 sod off bot
@Travissscoott--25💫 piss off bot
Somebody will inevitabile do a swap from a dacia spring or leaf. Cant wait
You've obviously not seen 5th Gears video on the Ami when they almost rolled one, then? 8-((...
8:38 even the chainsaw on my granddad's farm is 10hp
Love it. If they could do something about the minuscule range then I think they could sell a ton of them.
This would be perfect in some sea side resort that isn't on a beach, or the town is a bit further away and there is no sensible public transport. You rent those out, or they are in a price of an apartment and just drive anywhere you wish. I remember back in a day in Poland they had those gocarts with 2 or 4 seats, powered by the people in front (with pedals). (haven't been to the coast for years now so maybe still the case). It was absolutely best mode of transportation around the town, endless fun for me as a kid, but my parents also enjoyed it.
@@2727daqwid and it would be way cheaper for them to just run a bus
Just when i thought the Amy couldnt get any weird, they made this thing... and i want one.
Those bots are everywhere.

3:37 Petition for Mat to remake that photo with this Citroen
👍👍👍

Find the Citroen!
I can see this thing selling like crazy in California, just add a surfboard rack and take it out to your local spots. But also useful to take on a trailer/rv camping, ranch and other outdoor activities.
In my city in Spain they have become quite the common sight in the last 2 years (the normal ami version tho). In fact a lot of these “license-less” cars have become really popular (you do need a license but it’s the same one as for mopeds which is pretty easy to get). They don’t go faster than 50kmh without caping the speed but you’re technically not even allowed to drive faster than 45kmh with those cars. Most people who drive these cars are teens and old people. They’ve become extremely popular with teens because they’re much safer than mopeds and you’re allowed to drive them at 15 (here you can’t get a normal drivers license until you are 18). I drive one from a different brand myself and even though they are not extremely great they do the job perfectly fine
I’m a proud Citroen owner (yellow Cactus) so I love its quirkiness. There is a demand for small, less expensive, no frills EV cars. Why does nobody make them.
Every buying eltrc fears c21 ceteryvecmy
Have you seen the best selling EV model in China? Ticks all those boxes
Set up and development costs.
There needs to a demonstrative market place before going to build, these are quadracycles not cars that's why they can keep the costs down cars require much mire rigorous testing and safety, but all this aside I love it and would want one just for fun but it would have yo do more than 28mph and then there's the rub no longer a quadracycle, and will need type approval and the costs will climb accordingly such a shame, some needs to hack the drive processor
If they gave this 50 HP instead of 8 and removed any speed cap and put two doors on it I’d buy this no joke. I legit want this thing NOW! It’s like a golf cart but with off-roading capabilities
Dude, you live with your mother in *her* house and are like 16. Who tf are you trying to impress with middle-school tall tales, lol?
@@Kronos0999 you ever heard of dreams man?
It would be like the golf cart in GTA . It was funny chasing people around in that
@@Kronos0999 ayo whats up w you
Having 12 HP would be nice, but it won't be 50 HP! They have to Cap the speed.
Remember: THIS IS NOT A CAR.
A car needs to meet safety requirements, meaning they would need ABS, Airbags, crash testes, etc.
This off road ami would actually sell more than the normal one because of the added cool factor of driving a SUV nonetheless..and the fact that it is more practical than the out going one..I'd definitely consider buying this myself!
This thing is not a SUV just a weird smart car
Make it 4WD and more ground clearance and you will find some buyers for lawn mowing and snow plowing.
@@bernhardleopold6702 this would actually be a pretty good vehicle for industrial sites such as power stations or other large factories allowing maintenance people to go from one side to the other fairly quickly.

A few more tweaks and it's more beach worthy than my coupe.
Hit and Misses on this "offroad" design
Hits
The overall look is really good, removes the "Awww so cute" feel of the regular Ami.
The charging port is a good design , fits in with the theme and is also functional.
the Green/Yellow is bang on.
the cap peak on the front is functional
The roof rails are a good idea usefull for carrying a little extra luggage as long as yo do not make the vehicle top heavy
Misses
Why not have a proper door, and what the point of the stupid quarter doors!!!
The LED light Strip is a good idea , but the cap peak might shade the light thrown from the LED strip
The spare tire is maybe not really required!!
Knobly tires need more surface area I think --- for a better grip on the road or simply replace with the standard ones
Overall I feel with doors this colour scheme and look are far better than the regular Ami.
I can already see an army of these things being ordered at the golf courses here in Scotland. They essentially are golf buggies. Still, the design of this one is awesome, might even take some of the John Deere Gators off the road that are endemic here now.
ruclips.net/video/c0iqixa74p8/видео.html
Golf buggies lacking space for a golf bag.
@@miskatonic6210 Aye, but ya can hook em on a sling!
@@miskatonic6210 Can get a workshop to fabricate a bag rack to be bolted onto the back.
Absolutely, you could drive it from home straight to the first tee without having to find a car park or lift the clubs out of the boot.
With everything going on in the world now at least we have mat still reviewing cars
I hope he doesnt end up reviewing tanks
@Scott Marshal he’d have to test if the main gun had a real barrel using the stick of truth lol
@@ForzaMonkey 😂😂
@@ForzaMonkey Stick or pole of truth? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
What's going on in the world?
this would be awesome for driving around construction sites and stuff if it had all wheel drive. I think it's really cute, unlike the normal Ami which is just ugly. The "directional" styling helps a lot.
Citroen should definitely make this car! It could be used by national parks for some cute little off-road buggy...
Absolutely make it. More of these kinds of cars are needed.
ruclips.net/video/tT9DXJtwcOw/видео.html.
It’s kind of cool but wouldn’t actually go off road, so it’s basically a sweet golf cart, no?
u wouldnt buy it tho
@@joe.5103 Yes. These days, everyone just likes anything to *look* bigger than it is. 8hp and you'll get beached on the thinnest beach. Same with the fact SUVs these days are bigger than sedans despite being worse than real SUVs, slower than normal sedans.
@@megaxboxx I don’t know. I’ve seen some older folks driving enclosed electric tricycles in the countryside to the local supermarket and back. At least this one makes it easier for other cars to see them.
I really like that car, it's not perfect, but if it could be a little faster and maybe have some normal doors, it'd be something I could drive back and forth to work through town
How about normal Ami?
"Hey man c'mon where you hiding?"
"I'm just on seat Nr. 2 "
'Damn there you are--good to see the seat numbers"
Still a funny/cool features
Love how you were driving round the Citroen office and besides the two Amis there aren’t many Citroens there (if anything there are more Peugeots!) 😂🤣
Actually looks pretty fun and practical.
Should be taller than at least 7 inches tho
@Teamgeist where ?
for what? for getting beached on the smallest of rocks or stuck in sand because it's weak af? like for what kind of activity is that thing practical?
@@doyoulikejazz9516 not every car is a lada niva or a specialized Antarctic cruiser
@@doyoulikejazz9516 driving through European cities my friend… It is the perfect city car. Small, efficient, you dont need do drive faster than 45 kph. No rocks and sand in cities… usually :)
Yes please! Please Citroen make this awesome version! Just for the wheels, bum bag and plastic windows!! Thank goodness for a car company who has an adventurous sense of humour. Matt, why didn’t you off-road this against a Jimmy?? Dude!
I like how Matt looks to the left like *was that good, I can say that right *
Looks better than normal AMI.
Good alternatives for beaches rental fun.
It looks really cool
would love to see it in production!
ruclips.net/video/yxhJhHhSHQ8/видео.html
Ami looks like downgraded Subaru 360.
Matt has truly spiraled into chaos over the years and it's so entertaining.
This made me laugh a lot, both the car and Matt, hilarious 😆

These types of cars classified as a moped with four wheel, If I remember correctly, you don't need a license to drive them as they're limited to 45km/h.
A CUV? Cute utility vehicle
@@automation7295 I think that's fair, in India they're called Quadricycles.
@@TripleDDDD Cool one👌 but again, it's not a utility vehicle. Maybe a CMV, a cute motor vehicle would do as well!!😄👍
Love it!! Car companies need to keep doing things like this!!
I love how quirky and utilitarian the Ami is anyway, it’s the perfect anti-Tesla. Please make this Citroen
Looks like a “Quick Response Nuclear Meltdown emergency car“. Love the colors and stripes.
Please go into production.
Please make this and bring it to Australia!!!
That car looks like it was made by Capsule Corp.!!! :) It looks great! Given the very limited performance, the serious lack of practicality and comfort (it is sort of a big Renault Twizy on that aspect) and the fact that those materials will probably age poorly, I am not sure it should go into production other than for appearances in movies or marginal functions on special events like comic-con conventions, but it certainly is a successful exercise in style. Thank you for the video :)
is ugly, unpractical, abysmal performance, cost 2x more than a chinese 4 seats, crap autonomy, no safety - resumed: a totally useless plastic crap, the opposite of the notion of "practical & cheap".
@@mirandela777 Agreed. It's pretty much useless.
Agree with you but like Citroën 2CV she is cool !!!
Looks like an up-armored golf cart
I'll say it, this is actually kinda dope. I love the integrated bags
World: Starts the biggest war in history
Matt: Reviews the smallest car in history
Awesome. They definitely need to build this... and offer it in the U.S.!
Shut your mouth!
The doors are a must!
I need this car in my life
I have one come to lyon
love this car. its soo cute and different.. i hope it is available in my country.
Amazed, why we don’t have this in the US! Would be awesome off-roader with a good lift
Funny you said that, I already imagined this type of car around the beach resorts of California. Probably will be sold in the US soon, maybe Tesla and other American electric car manufacturers don't want the competition yet.
I'm willing to bet things like the lack of airbags might be part of it. The US actually has some bizarrely strict safety requirements that gate a lot of cool cars out of this country.
I like this thing just for the absurdity of it, and if it was cheap enough I'd have one just to drive downtown to get ice cream and drive home.
The extra tire is like a wheelbarrow tire 😆
There's something I like about it. And the age range it's aimed at I think it would do well.
Now that's what i call a cool and innovative car concept! I would love to drive this aroud town or to the beach :D It's not beautiful but it has style and character for days. A little bit more range and power and it would actually be very desirable.
How is innovative?
I hope its officially called what it says on the doors and steering wheel. "My Ami Beach" is just too clever lol
more of these kind of cars!!!
Man, I would buy this immediately if it were available in my country

I used to get hyped over stuff like maybachs n such
Now practical small cars make me excited.
Really want this!
"Practical"
@@Fools_Requiem This car is definitely more interesting than a Maybach. But is very impractical and un safe. Still kinda cool though.
Different vehicles for different purposes.
beautiful car. interesting coverage, charming anchor.
So much better than the original, I would get one if I had a private beach to drive it on
I really like this, I hope that Citroen do actually start making it, it would be a great village and town car, I've always liked Citroens and I'm on my third one now which I got in 2005, it's still only done 45500 miles.
Same
Laugh all you want, I think this thing is cool AF. ✊
But you won't actually drop 15k on it, will you? I can't understand what Citroen is doing. Maybe they just had excess R&D budget to burn through, maybe its some exec's pet project, or maybe just a PR stunt. But they know this car isn't going to actually sell. But it will get people talking about Citroen, so PR it is.
@@Kronos0999 the fact that you won't spend 15k on it doesn't mean someone else wouldn't. Stop being so condescending
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 Touch some grass, kid. You're gonna need it before you become fodder.
I'd have one of them for zipping round the farm for sure. Love the bar round the dash to stop stuff sliding off
For the last decade and a half, bull bars have had to be bendy like that in case it is not a bull, but the far more likely target of a pedestrian or cyclist.

Gorgeous buggy/car. I want one! 😍
@KINAN💞 TRASH 🗑
I love how it looks,if i had a choice i prefer have the doors,and double power and double range,the wheels look's great only front wheels need to be little bid narrow so doesn't rub the gards, it does look like a 4wd, it does look better then original Ami including the color...
Matt is so British 😂😂💯
Love the toilet seats mounted upside down..
They should rotate them to add another use for this outhouse on wheels :D
I really like it, i could imagine this beeing great for elderly people, easy to use, they stay mobile and its cheap

love it..... We purchased a Cactus Diesel new in 2007 and people laughed at the car and us ... but it has been a wonderful 'oddball' ... On a long run in Australia, it is nothing short of stunning on the open road.
What we really want is the Citroën Méhari. Plastic body, hose it out!!! but they only had a design and I guess only built one... I ran into a lady on the Nullabor plain recently driving her Citroën 2CV .... she rolled along happily!
now this is a car you want to rent when going on a vacation into any kind of tropical or desert place
Honestly, I'd love that as a super posh golf cart. I live on a golf field and we get around in those everywhere. I wonder if you could attach golf bags to the back?
If I could get it in the US, I would trade my car for it. The Ami is really ambitious!
It's not fast! It's only OK for city drive. This vehicle would be nice in South Europe where street are narrow, difficulties to park.
In the US? Only if live in a small town.
I like the Jackson Pollock mottled paint, I have some headphones in exactly that colour, they’d go well together 😆
We need a US-spec version with a 55mph top speed for county road capability, and an airbag. That would be perfect.
🤤 I Love it! So fun. I’d get one just to drive around town. So cool.
@KINAN💞 TRASH 🗑
I would like to have one of this just circling around the House 😂

I like them both.
I hope they bring them to Australia!
We have golf resort that use golf buggies as transportation around the resort.
These would be way cooler!
I’d buy one!
I'm tempted to rent one & take it to a bush campsite... of course, one that's just several kilos from a town with electricity.
Hell yeah...Make it !!
The obvious question is whether or not they're going to be able too Increase the range ...
But I would love to drive this around here in the Philippines...💯😎👌
It needs awd, more ground clearance, and kick-ass HVAC to be competitive in places with four distinct seasons.
The thing about sport utility vehicles, at least in the USA is that they can also do alright on icy and even slushy roads
I love the quirks and features of the Ami Buggy, eg the speaker and the bags you get with it.
And plus, this car can’t do 62mph or even 30mph.
"Quirks and features"
I see you know Doug DeMuro 😉
@@bonzobonanza I certainly do.
I actually really like it. Great job, Citroen!
If I were rich, had a house on the slopes back of Nice, I would get one immediately! It's flashy and gorgeous, must be funny to drive and the fact it doesn't go beyond 55 kmh, it's fairly safe too. I never had a Citroën because I always saw them as cars for the elderly (like Audi) but I must admit they are at almost always he top of good ideas. I've shortlisted the Olli, fantastic electric car concept, the future of EV. Matt, please get your hands on one for a review!
No doors on them cold slopes 😮
👍 Adjustable ride height using a socket wrench, wider for the tires...
"one direction... story of my life."
lol, catering to your different audiences
Hehe nice :). I thought the Ami couldn't get even more awesome, but this off road style one looks mint 😎👍. Although, you wouldn't be able to properly drive it fast around a circuit though, as it was engineered for urban use. But it's still a cool little car nonetheless :)
