The Citroën BX was a compact hatchback and estate car produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1982 to 1993. It was Citroën's first car to offer hatchback and estate bodystyles and was a significant departure from the styling of its predecessors. The BX was designed by the Italian design house Bertone, and its aerodynamically-shaped body was highly innovative for its time. It featured a distinctive, sloping rear window, flush door handles, and a low drag coefficient of 0.34. The BX was built on an all-new platform, which featured a MacPherson strut front suspension and a semi-trailing arm rear suspension. It was offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines, ranging in size from 1.4 to 1.9 liters. The BX was praised for its handling, comfort, and fuel economy, and it was a popular choice in Europe, especially in France, where it was the best-selling car for several years. The BX Estate, launched in 1985, was a practical and versatile option for families and those needing extra cargo space. It offered a larger boot than the hatchback version, with a capacity of 1,040 liters. The estate model retained the sleek, aerodynamic design of the hatchback, but with a longer and taller rear end, giving it a distinctive wagon-like appearance. The BX Estate was available with the same engine options as the hatchback, as well as a more powerful 1.9-liter diesel engine. It was a popular choice for buyers in need of a spacious and stylish family car, offering a blend of comfort, practicality, and efficiency. The BX was a successful model for Citroën, selling over 1.9 million units during its production run. It was replaced by the Citroën Xantia in 1993, but it remains a popular and fondly remembered car among Citroën enthusiasts.
