Citroën Méhari returns

A green 2026 Citroën Méhari driving along a beach
We wondered what a 2026 Citroën Méhari might look like 
An olive green original Citroën Méhari driving on a beach
The original Citroën Méhari looked fun, but precarious - low slung and low on safety
Imaginary Méhari with visible steel tubes
We imagined a new Méhari built around a sturdy roll cage
But we also imagined a Méhari with a familiar style
The original was made of coloured ABS plastic with basic weather gear
Our imagined 2026 Méhari also relies on plastic and canvas
The original used a Citroën Dyane chassis with a 2-cylinder petrol engine
We've imagined our Méhari as a 4x4 electric car with a space-frame chassis
A Méhari should be fun
A Méhari should also be capable. Citroën even produced a 4x4 version
A four-seat version would offer extra practicality
The original interior was simple in the extreme
A new Méhari should still be basic, and waterproof
We wanted our Méhari to have an open, friendly face
The original could look a bit grumpy
