Citroën is a legendary French automobile manufacturer founded in 1919 by André-Gustave Citroën. Known for its avant-garde engineering and iconic designs—such as the Traction Avant, the 2CV, and the hydropneumatic-suspension-equipped DS—the brand has been a cornerstone of European automotive history for over a century.

Today, Citroën operates as a vital part of Stellantis, a global automotive giant formed through the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Groupe PSA (Peugeot S.A.). While its heritage is deeply rooted in Paris, its manufacturing footprint is global. Key production facilities are located in Poissy and Rennes (France), Vigo and Madrid (Spain), and Trnava (Slovakia). The brand also maintains significant joint ventures for production in China and has expanded manufacturing specifically for emerging markets in locations like Morocco and India.

Under the stewardship of Stellantis, Citroën has shifted its focus towards high-comfort vehicles and accessible electric mobility. This strategic direction ensures that the brand maintains its historical identity of 'creative technology' while benefiting from the massive industrial scale and shared platforms of its parent corporation, which is headquartered in the Netherlands for tax and legal purposes but maintains deep operational roots in France and Italy.
