Concept of the month - Citroen
19_19
Citroen's goal of ultra-comfort and expanded mobility to get
away from cities is embodied in the 19_19 Concept. The 19_19
Concept's body design is inspired by the fuselage of an
aeroplane and the clear bubble of a helicopter. The capsule
floats above four "Super Tall and Narrow" wheels, promising the
luxury of a magic carpet trip, with passengers being carried
along by a car that looks to soar over the road. We would love
nothing more than to see this beautiful machine on the road.
The 19_19 Concept impresses with its long, 3.10 metre
wheelbase, which allows for a bigger battery and a powerful
and commanding road posture with the four wheels planted
squarely on the far corners of the body. The interior is
suspended on a novel suspension system with Progressive
Hydraulic Cushions and sophisticated active management, and
it has a one-of-a-kind layout inspired by the world of furniture,
with individually tailored seats.

The 19_19 Concept also employs autonomous driving
technologies, allowing drivers to completely delegate driving
duties. The concept automobile is equipped with a personal
assistant embedded into the dashboard that takes over
management of the vehicle during autonomous driving phases
and communicates with passengers through a predictive and
proactive system that anticipates each occupant's demands.
The 19_19 Concept provides each passenger with their own
personal room to unwind. The driver's seat features
straightforward controls, an ultra-comfortable seat, and a
speaker in the headrest, as well as a head-up display that
provides crucial driving information through the windscreen.
