The Citroën BX was a compact executive car produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1983 to 1993. It was the successor to the Citroën GSA and was designed by Marcello Gandini, known for his work on the Lamborghini Miura and Countach. The BX was a radical departure from its predecessor, featuring a sleek, aerodynamic design with a drag coefficient of just 0.34, making it one of the most aerodynamic cars of its time. It was built on a brand-new platform, which utilized advanced technology like the innovative "hydrolastic" suspension system, inherited from the GS, but further developed for improved comfort and handling. The BX offered a range of petrol and diesel engines, most notably the 1.9-liter petrol engine, and a distinctive interior with a futuristic dashboard and a unique "floating" center console.
The BX was a popular choice for its combination of stylish design, innovative technology, and comfortable ride. It was particularly popular in Europe, where it was highly regarded for its fuel efficiency and practicality. The BX was also praised for its handling and agility, despite its relatively large size. However, the BX also had its share of issues. Its hydrolastic suspension system, while providing a comfortable ride, was prone to leaks and required specialized maintenance. The BX was also criticized for its perceived lack of reliability, particularly in its early years of production. Despite these issues, the BX was a significant car for Citroën, helping to revitalize the brand and paving the way for future models like the Xantia and Xsara.
