The 2 CV AZLP, an Assured Professional

The Citroën 2 CV AZLP (Azur Luxe Particulier) was launched in 1971 to modernize the 2CV range. This version was distinguished by its individual front seats, carpeting, and improved finishes. Quickly adopted by professionals, it became the vehicle of choice for salespeople, craftsmen, and technical services of the time.

This "Commercial Assistance Coordinator" version demonstrates the adaptation of the 2CV to the specific needs of French companies. Its air-cooled 602 cm³ two-cylinder engine developed 28 horsepower, sufficient to travel across France with a remarkably low consumption of 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Its ingeniously French design allowed for easy transport of equipment and documentation in its surprisingly modular trunk.

The success of this professional configuration was immediate. Companies appreciated its legendary reliability, trivial maintenance costs, and its ability to tackle all terrains, from city centers to the most rugged country roads.

Citroën in the 1970s: Innovation and Boldness

At the time of marketing this 2 CV AZLP, Citroën was going through a pivotal period in its history. Under the leadership of André Citroën and then Pierre Michelin, the chevron brand was multiplying technical innovations with the DS, the Ami 6, and soon the revolutionary CX. This era marked the peak of Citroën's technological audacity.

Launched in 1948, the 2CV had become in twenty years the emblem of French popular mobility. In the 1970s, it represented the very essence of French ingenuity: simple, efficient, accessible. Professional versions like this AZLP demonstrated that Citroën could adapt its vehicles to the specific needs of its clientele.

This decade was also marked by Peugeot's acquisition of Citroën in 1976, following financial difficulties related to colossal investments in technology. Paradoxically, it was during this period of uncertainty that the 2CV experienced its greatest commercial and cultural success.
