The Citroën XM, produced from 1989 to 2000, was a flagship executive saloon that aimed to capture the spirit of innovation and luxury that had defined Citroën's history. It was the successor to the iconic CX, and featured a number of groundbreaking technological advancements for its time. The XM was the first car to feature a fully independent hydropneumatic suspension system with self-leveling, offering unparalleled comfort and handling. It also boasted a sophisticated electronic system, including a digital instrument cluster and an optional on-board computer. The XM's sleek, aerodynamic design, penned by Italian designer Marcello Gandini, was a departure from Citroën's previous models, showcasing a more modern and streamlined aesthetic.

Despite its technological prowess and elegant design, the XM, unfortunately, struggled to gain widespread popularity. Its complex mechanical systems and demanding maintenance requirements contributed to its reputation for reliability issues, particularly in the early years of production. However, the XM's unique character and groundbreaking features continue to attract a dedicated following of enthusiasts who appreciate its innovative engineering and unconventional approach to luxury car design. While the XM may not have achieved the commercial success of its predecessor, it remains a significant milestone in Citroën's history, embodying the brand's commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive technology.
