The Citroën Xsara is a compact car that was produced by the French automaker Citroën from 1997 to 2006. It replaced the Citroën ZX and was available in hatchback, estate, and coupé body styles. The Xsara was a significant success for Citroën, winning the European Car of the Year award in 1998 and achieving high sales figures across Europe. It was known for its comfortable ride, stylish design, and practical interior space. The 1997 to 2000 model years of the Xsara represent the first generation of the vehicle, often referred to as the "Mk1" Xsara. These models were powered by a range of petrol and diesel engines, including the 1.4i, 1.6i, 1.8i, 2.0i petrol units and the 1.9D and 1.9TD diesel engines. The Xsara was available with both manual and automatic transmissions. The first generation Xsara also featured a number of innovative features, such as a hydraulic suspension system and an electronic stability program. Its design was a departure from the boxy, functional designs of previous Citroens, featuring flowing lines and a more contemporary aesthetic. The Xsara's success continued through the later models, with the introduction of additional engine options and a facelift in 2000. The Xsara remained a popular choice for those seeking a stylish, comfortable, and reliable compact car.
