Citroen has marked its 100th year by unveiling the 19_19 Concept, an all-electric vehicle showcasing the technology and styling that could underpin the company’s future.

A 100kWh battery returns a theoretical range of 497 miles, with a pair of electric motors producing 456bhp and 800Nm of torque. As such, the Citroen 19_19 Concept should hit 0-62mph in five seconds, en route to a top speed of 124mph.

A wireless induction charger under the floor allows the 19_19 Concept’s battery to be replenished 'on the go' from roads fitted with the same technology.

Meanwhile, the exterior design has several unconventional features: an absence of bumpers at the front or rear, as well as rear-hinged doors and ‘exposed’ axles housing the electric motors.

Full-length LED headlights and tail-lights are more recognisable elements, while the sweeping roofline is similar to those of many existing SUVs.
