A Two‑Decade Run with Over 144,000 Cars Built
Introduced in 1968, the Méhari remained largely unchanged for its 20‑year production life, ending in 1987. During that period Citroën produced 144,953 units, including 1,213 four‑wheel‑drive versions.
South American Production Highlights
From 1971 to 1980 the Méhari was manufactured in Argentina by Citroën Argentina SA, where 3,997 units rolled off the line. This Argentine chapter ran alongside the main European production and contributed to the model’s global reach.
Minimalist Design Powered by a Tiny Engine
The Méhari is celebrated for its ultra‑simple, lightweight construction, weighing just under 1,200 lb. It was powered by a 29 hp, 0.6‑liter twin‑cylinder air‑cooled engine borrowed from the 2CV, embodying Citroën’s minimalist motoring philosophy.
