Microcar Dué

The Microcar Dué is a small French urban city car launched in 1992, designed to offer economical and enjoyable mobility to drivers seeking practicality. Produced by French manufacturer Microcar, the Microcar Dué story is part of a lineage of license-free vehicles and light quadricycles that shaped the European market from the 1990s to 2010. The Microcar Dué model experienced several successive generations, gradually evolving in design and engine specifications to adapt to environmental standards and the expectations of urban users. Positioned as an economical and agile alternative to direct competitors such as the diesel Peugeot 106 or the Citroën Saxo, the Dué appealed thanks to its compact size, low fuel consumption, and Microcar Dué generations characterized by discreet yet relevant styling updates. Its successive evolutions focused on strengthening passive safety, improving engine performance, and complying with anti-pollution directives, thereby consolidating the vehicle's position in a demanding niche. Although production gradually ceased, the Microcar Dué remains a reference for vintage small car enthusiasts, with a dynamic secondhand market where used examples maintain strong appeal among collectors and users seeking economical and charming secondary transport.
