The Citroën Xantia is a mid-size family car produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1993 to 2002. It was the successor to the Citroën BX and marked a significant departure from Citroën's traditional suspension designs, employing "Hydractive" suspension, a system that provided a more comfortable and controlled ride than conventional systems. The Xantia was available in a variety of body styles, including a four-door saloon, a five-door hatchback, and a station wagon known as the Break. The 1.8L 8V petrol engine, featured in your service repair manual, was a common choice for the Xantia, offering a balance of performance and fuel economy. This engine, often referred to as the "XU7JP" engine, was known for its reliability and longevity, making it a popular choice for both private and fleet owners.

The 1993-1998 model years of the Xantia saw significant evolution in its design and features. The early models were characterized by their distinctive angular styling, with a bold front grille and large headlamps. Later models, starting in 1995, received a facelift with a more rounded and softer aesthetic, featuring redesigned headlights, bumpers, and grille. These later models also saw the introduction of improved interior materials and trim, as well as enhanced safety features. The Xantia's Hydractive suspension was a key feature, offering adjustable ride height and damping levels, providing a comfortable ride and good handling characteristics. The 1.8L 8V petrol engine, with its moderate power output and fuel efficiency, made the Xantia well-suited for everyday driving. The service repair manual you have will be an invaluable resource for maintaining and repairing this engine, ensuring it runs smoothly and reliably for years to come.
