The Citroën Lacoste is a concept mini SUV which was designed by Citroën and Lacoste for the 2010 Paris Motor Show.[1] It is an economical no-door mini SUV, featuring a 1.2 litre petrol engine emitting lass than 100g/km of CO2.[2] It was expected to enter production by 2013.[3]

The concept is 3.45 metres (11.3 ft) long, around a half metre shorter than the Nissan Juke. The concept has special features including an inflatable roof, which emerges from the centre roof rail. It also has a movable steering wheel to improve access. The concept has no doors.[4] This concept was inspired by the Citroën Méhari of the 1970s, and the 2007 Citroën C-Cactus concept.[5]
