[1] The French carmaker Citroën debuted the Ami One, a concept car, at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019.

A smartphone powers the information screen and provides audio to the car through the cylindrical Bluetooth speaker located to the right of the steering column.

According to Jean-Arthur Madeleine, the Ami's interior designer, "the way to make it affordable was to avoid the redundancy of technology [...] everything is based on the idea that instead of having a lot of displays, everything is coming from your smartphone".

[6][7] Pierre Leclercq, the exterior designer of the Ami, revealed that the production vehicle and the concept car were developed simultaneously.

The Ami can be used for carsharing in the Free2Move network of Groupe PSA, rented or purchased, on the internet or in stores Fnac and Darty with which Citroën has concluded a partnership for the exhibition, sale or rental of the vehicle[11] from 30 March 2020.

[16] In May 2024, the Ami was refreshed with a new color (Night Sepia), as well as other small changes, such as the drive select buttons being moved to the dashboard below the hazards indicator and phone mount.

[25] The quadricycle is equipped with a 6 kW electric motor operating at 48 V.[26] It accepts a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 5.5 kWh, rechargeable to 80% in three hours on a 230 V household outlet, giving it a maximum range of 75 km (47 mi) WMTC.

An investigation was launched against Stellantis, Italy deeming the stickers to be a violation of the 2004 financial law, which defines as illegal "the marketing of products bearing false and misleading indications of provenance or origin".
