The Citroën BX was a compact hatchback produced by the French automaker Citroën from 1983 to 1993. Replacing the aging GSA, it was the first Citroën to feature a fully-fledged hatchback body style and aimed to attract a younger, more modern customer base. The BX was designed by the Italian design house Bertone, with its sharply angled, wedge-shaped design, featuring a low drag coefficient of 0.32, making it remarkably aerodynamic for its time. The BX featured a number of innovative features, including a self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension system, a first for a Citroën hatchback. This provided a comfortable and responsive ride, allowing for a varying ride height at different speeds. Powertrain options ranged from a 1.4-liter gasoline engine to a 1.9-liter diesel, and later included a 1.6-liter gasoline engine and a turbocharged diesel. The BX was also offered in a variety of trims, ranging from basic to luxurious, appealing to a wide range of buyers. The BX became a popular and successful model for Citroën, selling over 1.2 million units during its production run. It was praised for its innovative design, comfortable ride, and fuel efficiency. Despite its success, the BX faced competition from other popular hatchbacks like the Renault 11 and Peugeot 309. The BX was also criticized for its lack of reliability, particularly with its complex hydropneumatic suspension system. Nevertheless, the BX cemented its place in Citroën history, marking a significant shift in the brand's identity towards more modern and practical vehicles. It also helped to revitalize the company, paving the way for future models like the Xantia and Xsara. While no longer in production, the BX remains a popular choice for classic car enthusiasts and a reminder of Citroën's innovative approach to automotive design.
