In Spain, one customer holds the record for being the fastest to complete the entire digital purchasing process. It took him 1 minute and 10 seconds to buy his My Ami Buggy. A record beaten by 1 minute and 43 seconds compared with last year! In June 2022, it took the fastest customer 2 minutes and 53 seconds to select the exclusive version of Ami, confirm the order, choose the delivery method and make payment.
My Ami Buggy promises its buyers to enjoy their leisure activities in a relaxed, stylish and cheerful way. It makes micro-journeys easier thanks to its ease of use and conveys a feeling of adventure and freedom, while staying on the beaten track.
My Ami Buggy stands out for its lack of doors, its removable roof and its khaki colour. It's got an adventurous character with its wheel arches, its front and rear bumpers and its golden wheel rims. The bright yellow of the decorations and accessories, combined with a new sun visor, gives it a fresh, dynamic look.
It is equipped with an 8-horsepower electric motor. The vehicle has a battery capacity of 5.5 kWh. This provides a range of 75 km on a full charge.
This new version comes with exclusive additional accessories, such as transparent door covers to protect occupants from the elements, a removable bag positioned in the centre of the steering wheel to store small everyday objects, and an “Ultimate Ears Boom” Bluetooth speaker to accompany the most beautiful moments in music which can be easily taken anywhere. New black door and roof frames enhance the exterior finish.
Delivery of "My Ami Buggy" will start at the beginning of September.
