CITROËN LANDMARKS

Into the Eighties and beyond: when commercial reality began to bite.

BX (1982) With extensive use of lightweight plastics for improved performance and economy, more than two-million Gandini-styled BXS were sold until 1993.

XM (1989) By adding computer tech to the mix, the enormous XM could not only ride like a limo, but it could bother many a sports saloon in the bends, too.

Xantia Activa (1994) Just about the fastest four seater car ever, the handsome Q-car Activa had fully active suspension and breathtaking cornering ability.

C6 (2005) French presidents Chirac and Sarkozy refused to be driven in anything else . Luxurious and roomy, it had ingenious tech and was super-fast, too.

C5 (2008) Following the Mk1 C5 (2001) the Germanic ‘X7’ was the final hydro model. Despite being well-liked by the press, UK sales dipped to 237 in the UK in 2015.
