Citroen will join Formula E in Season 12, which kicks off in December 2025. It will take over sister Stellantis brand Maserati’s entry in the all-electric championship.
Despite limited experience in single-seater racing, Citroen has a storied history in motorsport, especially the World Rally Championship (WRC), Dakar Rally and the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC). Its new Formula E entry will mark a return to world championship racing as a manufacturer for the first time since it quit the WRC in 2019.

Stellantis fielding DS, Citroen
Maserati made its Formula E debut in 2023. However, the manufacturer decided to leave the championship after just three seasons following a host of operational issues. Stellantis has now decided to replace Maserati with another brand from its roster – Citroen.
Further details will be announced next month. However, Citroen is expected to continue working with MSG, which ran Maserati’s Formula E team as well. Alongside teams like Porsche, Nissan, Mahindra and Jaguar, Citroen will also be competing against sister Stellantis brand DS.
