The Citroen XM is a mid-size executive car that was produced by the French automaker Citroën from 1989 to 2000. It was the first Citroën to utilise the company’s revolutionary hydropneumatic suspension system with self-levelling capabilities and the introduction of an entirely new, more compact, suspension system than previous Citroën models. This innovative suspension system provided an exceptional ride comfort and handling characteristics, setting a new benchmark for luxury vehicles at the time. The XM was also the first production vehicle to feature the revolutionary Active Hydro suspension, which used sensors to adjust the suspension in real-time to provide optimal handling and comfort, further enhancing its performance and sophistication. The XM was designed by the renowned Italian design studio, Bertone, and it featured a distinctive, aerodynamically-designed body with a long, sloping hood and a prominent grille. The interior was equally luxurious and innovative, featuring a high-tech dashboard with digital displays and a sophisticated climate control system. The XM was available with a wide range of engines, including petrol and diesel options, and it was offered in various trim levels, ranging from the basic "SX" to the opulent "Prestige." While the XM was somewhat divisive among critics, its unique design and technical innovations were widely admired, solidifying its status as a technological marvel for its era. Its distinctive profile and advanced features made it a recognized symbol of Citroën's commitment to innovation and luxury. While its sales figures may not have reflected its potential, the XM remains a testament to Citroën's engineering prowess and its ability to push the boundaries of automotive technology in the late 20th century.
