The Citroën XM, produced between 1989 and 2000, was a large executive saloon that aimed to challenge the established German luxury car market. Designed by the visionary Italian coachbuilder Bertone, the XM boasted a distinctive and aerodynamically advanced silhouette characterized by its low-slung profile, steeply raked windshield, and integrated rear spoiler. The car's innovative "hydronic" suspension system, which used hydraulic fluid to adjust ride height and suspension firmness, provided a unique and comfortable driving experience, particularly on rough roads. This revolutionary system contributed to the XM's reputation for a refined and smooth ride, a key attribute in attracting discerning buyers.

The XM was offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines, catering to diverse needs and preferences. The petrol options included the 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter V6 units, while the diesel lineup featured the 1.9-liter and 2.1-liter turbocharged engines. Despite its technological advancements and refined design, the XM never achieved the commercial success of its German rivals. The car's complex engineering, coupled with its high price tag, made it a niche offering. Nonetheless, the XM remains a testament to Citroën's ambition to create a truly unique and technologically advanced luxury car. Its innovative suspension system, distinctive styling, and blend of comfort and performance earned it a loyal following among enthusiasts who appreciated its unconventional approach.
