The Citroën Xantia is a mid-size family car that was produced by the French automaker Citroën from 1993 to 2002. It replaced the Citroën BX in Citroën's model range and was available as a saloon and a hatchback. The Xantia was notable for its innovative suspension system, known as Hydractive, which offered a smooth and comfortable ride. This system was a further development of the system used in the Citroën XM and offered three modes: "Sport," "Comfort," and "Auto." The "Sport" mode lowered the car's ride height and stiffened the suspension for better handling, while the "Comfort" mode raised the ride height and softened the suspension for a more comfortable ride. The "Auto" mode automatically adjusted the suspension settings based on driving conditions. The Xantia offered a range of petrol and diesel engines, with power outputs ranging from 75 horsepower to 167 horsepower. The most popular engine was the 1.9-liter diesel engine, known for its fuel efficiency. The Xantia was also available with a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine, offering more power and torque. The interior of the Xantia was spacious and comfortable, with good levels of equipment. It featured a dashboard that was inspired by the Citroën XM and offered a range of features, including air conditioning, electric windows, and a powered sunroof. The Xantia was a popular choice for buyers looking for a stylish, comfortable, and practical family car with a unique and innovative suspension system. It was praised for its ride quality, handling, and spacious interior, but criticized for its somewhat bland styling and high running costs.
