The Citroën Xantia is a mid-size family car that was produced by the French automaker Citroën from 1993 to 2001. It replaced the BX and was positioned between the smaller ZX and the larger XM in Citroën's lineup. The Xantia was available in a variety of body styles, including a four-door saloon, a five-door hatchback, and a station wagon. It was known for its comfortable ride, thanks to its innovative hydropneumatic suspension system, which allowed for a smooth and responsive driving experience. The Xantia's design was a departure from the company's previous models, featuring a more rounded and aerodynamic shape, along with distinctive, sharp styling elements.

Under the hood, the Xantia offered a range of petrol and diesel engines, including the 1.8i, 1.9i, 2.0i, 2.0i 16v, and 1.9D, 2.0D, and 2.1TD diesel options. The car was praised for its performance, particularly the 16-valve petrol engine, which offered a good balance of power and fuel efficiency. However, the Xantia's biggest selling point was its advanced hydropneumatic suspension system. This system, pioneered by Citroën, used hydraulic fluid to control the ride height and suspension, providing a level of comfort and stability unmatched by conventional cars. The system also allowed the Xantia to self-level, ensuring a consistent ride height regardless of load. The Xantia was a popular choice for families and individuals who valued practicality, comfort, and a unique driving experience. Despite facing competition from other European and Japanese brands, it was a successful model for Citroën, selling over 1.2 million units during its production run.
