Launch and Core Specs
The Dyane was launched in 1967, featuring a 21 bhp 425 cm³ flat‑twin engine borrowed from the 2CV. It was built on a four‑light body design, distinguishing it from its two‑light predecessor.
Engine Upgrade – The Dyane 4
In March 1968, Citroën introduced the Dyane 4, which replaced the original 425 cc engine with a slightly larger 435 cc unit, offering a modest performance boost while retaining the same basic architecture.
Design Tweaks and Market Position
Beyond the engine, the Dyane offered optional features such as a sunroof on its four‑door sedan body. Hagerty notes that the Dyane was marketed as a “better all‑around car” than the 2CV, while also being cheaper, helping it gain a solid following.
