The Citroën CX, produced from 1974 to 1991, was a mid-size executive car that represented a significant leap forward for Citroën in terms of design, engineering, and comfort. The CX was renowned for its aerodynamically sleek and futuristic design, featuring a low drag coefficient of 0.35, which was exceptional for its time. It was the first car to achieve a drag coefficient lower than 0.4, making it one of the most aerodynamic cars in the world. The car's distinctive design included a unique "shark fin" rear window that extended down to the rear bumper, creating a smooth flow of air over the body. The CX's lightweight construction, with extensive use of plastics and aluminum, further contributed to its exceptional aerodynamic performance. The CX was available with a range of engines, including gasoline and diesel options. It also featured a unique hydropneumatic suspension system, similar to that found in other Citroën models, which provided an exceptional ride quality, comfort, and handling.

The 1986 Citroën CX, the subject of the All Service Repair Manual, continued the legacy of its predecessors with a refined design, numerous improvements, and new features. The model received a facelift in 1985, featuring a new front grille, bumpers, and taillights. Inside, the CX showcased a modern and comfortable interior, with a high level of equipment, including air conditioning, power windows, and a sophisticated dashboard. The 1986 model year also saw the introduction of a new 2.5-liter turbocharged diesel engine, offering improved performance and fuel economy. Despite its advanced engineering and design, the CX faced challenges in the marketplace, competing with more mainstream European and Japanese competitors. The CX represented a significant step forward for Citroën, combining advanced technology, distinctive styling, and a commitment to comfort and driving enjoyment. However, the CX's unique design and innovative engineering also made it expensive to produce and maintain, contributing to its eventual decline in sales. The All Service Repair Manual provides vital information for mechanics and enthusiasts alike, covering all aspects of the CX, from its engine and transmission to its suspension and electrical systems. This manual is an essential resource for ensuring the continued operation and maintenance of this iconic French automobile.
