Citroën Automobiles S.A.

Citroën Automobiles S.A. is a French manufacturer that designs, produces and sells passenger cars and light commercial vehicles under the Citroën brand. Its product range includes compact hatchbacks, sedans, SUVs, MPVs and vans such as the Citroën C3, C5 Aircross, Berlingo and Jumper, which are distributed through a network of dealerships and online channels to private consumers, fleet operators and professional users across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas. The company also offers related services such as financing, insurance, maintenance contracts and mobility solutions that complement its vehicle offerings.

Citroën operates on a global scale with production facilities located in France, Spain, Slovakia, Portugal, Morocco, Brazil, China and other countries, enabling it to serve more than 100 markets worldwide. As part of one of the largest automotive groups in the world, the brand benefits from shared research and development resources, procurement efficiencies and a broad distribution network that supports annual sales volumes in the hundreds of thousands of vehicles. Its presence in both mature and emerging markets is reflected in a diversified model lineup that adapts to regional preferences, regulatory requirements and varying purchasing power.

The brand is distinguished by a longstanding reputation for innovative engineering and avant‑garde design, exemplified by historic introductions such as the hydropneumatic suspension system, the DS series and more recent concepts that emphasize comfort, aerodynamics and distinctive styling. Citroën has also maintained an active involvement in motorsport, particularly in the World Rally Championship, where its vehicles have demonstrated technical competence and contributed to the brand’s performance image. These attributes position Citroën as a manufacturer that blends creative expression with practical functionality within the competitive automotive sector.

Structurally, Citroën Automobiles S.A. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Stellantis N.V., the multinational corporation formed in 2021 from the merger of the PSA Group—of which Citroën was a core brand—and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The company’s headquarters remain in Paris, France, and it operates under the governance and strategic direction of Stellantis while retaining its distinct brand identity and product development teams.
