In 1967 Citroën introduced the Citroën Dyane as an upgraded version for the ageing 2CV. The new car, originally designed by Louis Bionier at Panhard design department and updated by Jacques Charreton at Citroën, was initially available as a five-door hatchback with the 425 cc B2 air-cooled engine from the 2CV and an identical chassis of the 2CV. The Dyane was intended as an answer to the increasingly popular Renault 4. The Dyane's Panhard associations are reflected in its name, Panhard having registered a copyright on the name Dyane along with Dyna, Dynavia and Dynamic.

In March 1968, the 425cc engine was replaced, by an improved 435 cc unit, the car was called the "Dyane 4". In 1970 the car was restyled with a third side-window. In 1977 the Citroën Acadiane, a small commercial vehicle derived from the Dyane was introduced.
