Citroën Ami Dark Side success: after Europe, the city car hits turkish roads

The Citroën Ami Dark Side offensive continues in the Turkish market

Following its significant success across European markets, where it has been available since last October, the Dark Side version of the Citroën Ami is officially launching in Turkey. This special limited edition arrives with a clear mission: to maintain and amplify the exceptional momentum of this small urban cruiser in a Turkish market that has become strategic for the French manufacturer. By skillfully blending urban micro-mobility codes with the brand's signature comfort, this version aims to attract a clientele looking for a unique and distinctive style.

A dark design with striking contrasts

The Citroën Ami Dark Side stands out immediately through an aesthetic that is radically different from previous versions. For the very first time, the electric quadricycle features a body entirely finished in a new shade called Night Black. This deep, matte black gives the vehicle a silhouette that is both mysterious and robust. To break the uniformity of the black finish, Citroën designers integrated white graphic elements on the stickers and the "Glacier" style wheel covers. These white checkered patterns energize the side profile and highlight the sharp lines of the model, offering a particularly modern visual contrast.

At the front, the Ami Dark Side's look has also evolved. The headlights are emphasized by a black surround evoking eyelids, extending to the bottom of the windshield for a more striking appearance. A new raised light block, suggesting a wide smile, connects the two headlights and features the brand's white logo. At the rear, a specific spoiler reinforces the dynamic identity of this version. The interior is equally impressive with the Dark Side color pack: it includes three dashboard storage compartments, a luggage rack, and light grey storage nets that match the grey stitching on the floor mats. In Turkey, this limited edition is priced starting at 555,000 TL, which is approximately €10,545.

A new facet for the Ami range in Turkey

The arrival of the Dark Side version wisely completes the Ami range in Turkey, just a few months after its successful European introduction. This diversification strategy allows Citroën to reach a broader and noticeably different audience compared to the classic version. While the standard Ami focuses on friendliness and simplicity, the Dark Side explores a more elegant and intrepid path. It showcases a more mature side of the vehicle, capable of appealing to young drivers aged 16 and up (accessible with a B1 license in Turkey) as well as urban dwellers seeking a mobility object with a strong design statement.

This version does more than just change colors; it reaffirms Citroën's promise to provide a simple and accessible mobility solution for everyone, while adding a strong emotional dimension. By playing with the contrasts between matte and glossy, black and white, the Ami Dark Side proves that micro-mobility can also be a matter of style. However, it retains its proven technical specifications: a 100% electric powertrain, a top speed of 45 km/h, and a range of 75 km, ideal for daily urban trips in major Turkish cities like Istanbul or Ankara.

A bright future in the brand's second largest global market

The deployment of the Ami Dark Side in Turkey is a logical step following its European success. This strategic choice highlights the growing importance of this country for the French manufacturer. Indeed, Turkey became Citroën's second-largest global market in 2025, right after France. The brand broke its historical sales record there with over 70,000 units sold during the year.

As the undisputed leader in its segment, the Ami is one of the pillars of this achievement. By offering this more distinct version, Citroën is not just following a trend; the brand is consolidating its dominant position in the field of light electric mobility. With its "Night Black" design and refined finishes, the Ami Dark Side has all the arguments to win over the Turkish market and allow Citroën to mark 2026 as a year of growth and innovation.
