The Citroën BX was a compact hatchback manufactured by the French automaker Citroën from 1983 to 1993. It replaced the Citroën GSA and was the first car to be designed under the leadership of engineer and designer, Jean-Pierre Ploué. The BX was known for its aerodynamic styling, featuring a drag coefficient of just 0.34, making it one of the most aerodynamic cars of its time. Its sleek design was achieved through a combination of smooth curves, flush-fitting door handles, and a rear window that sloped dramatically towards the rear. This aerodynamic shape not only contributed to its fuel efficiency but also its quiet ride. The BX was also notable for its use of innovative technologies, including a hydropneumatic suspension system that provided exceptional ride comfort and handling. The suspension, which was derived from the Citroën CX, allowed the BX to adjust its ride height depending on the road conditions and also featured a self-leveling function. The car also featured a unique interior design that prioritized functionality and comfort, with an emphasis on space and ergonomics. While the BX was praised for its innovative features and stylish design, it also encountered some challenges. One of the main criticisms was the complexity of the hydropneumatic suspension system, which could be costly to repair and maintain. Critics also pointed out that the BX's styling, while aerodynamic, could be considered somewhat bland, lacking the visual flair of some of its competitors. Despite these issues, the BX remained a popular car in Europe, particularly in its home market of France, where it was praised for its comfortable ride, fuel efficiency, and low running costs. It was also successful in the UK, where it gained a reputation for being a reliable and practical family car. The BX was eventually replaced by the Citroën Xantia in 1993, but it remains a significant milestone in Citroën’s history and a testament to the company’s commitment to innovative technology and design.
