The Citroën GS and GSA were two compact cars produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1970 to 1986. They were known for their innovative design, featuring a distinctive, aerodynamic body and a revolutionary hydropneumatic suspension system. The GS, launched in 1970, was initially available with a 1.0-liter engine, later followed by larger 1.1-liter and 1.2-liter options. It was a critical and commercial success, winning the prestigious European Car of the Year award in 1971. The GS's success was attributed to its comfortable ride, impressive handling, and fuel efficiency. It became a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a stylish and practical car.
The GSA, introduced in 1980, was essentially a restyled and updated version of the GS. While it retained the distinctive GS design language, the GSA featured a larger, more rectangular front end and a more upright windshield. It was also equipped with a more powerful engine, ranging from 1.1-liter to 1.3-liter options. The GSA aimed to address some of the GS's perceived weaknesses, including its limited luggage space and outdated interior. Despite its improvements, the GSA failed to replicate the commercial success of its predecessor. It faced stiff competition from more economical and modern cars from rival manufacturers. The GSA's production ceased in 1986, marking the end of an era for Citroën's distinctive and innovative compact car.
