The Citroën BX Hatchback Estate, a model produced from 1985 to 1993, is a testament to the French automaker's innovative spirit. It stands as a unique blend of practicality and style, with its distinctive wedge-shaped design that was a departure from the conventional boxy estate car silhouettes of the time. The BX's aerodynamic shape was not just aesthetic; it was meticulously engineered to achieve impressive fuel efficiency and a smooth ride, even at high speeds. The car's spacious interior was designed for comfort and functionality, offering ample room for passengers and cargo. Its innovative features like the "hydropneumatic" self-leveling suspension, which allowed the car to maintain a consistent ride height regardless of the load, further cemented the BX's reputation as a cutting-edge vehicle. While the BX was initially lauded for its advanced technology and sleek design, it faced criticism for its complex mechanical systems and the high cost of maintenance. Nevertheless, the BX remains a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking a distinctive and capable estate car with a touch of French flair. The 1985 Citroen BX Hatchback Estate, in particular, is notable for being the first year of production for the model. This early incarnation of the BX embodied all the bold design choices and forward-thinking engineering that would define the car's legacy. Equipped with a range of petrol and diesel engines, each offering a unique combination of power and fuel efficiency, the 1985 BX provided buyers with a variety of options to suit their driving needs. The car's 1985 production year also marked a significant milestone for Citroen, as it coincided with the launch of the innovative "Hydractrive" system, an electronic enhancement for the hydropneumatic suspension that offered even greater ride comfort and control. The 1985 Citroen BX Hatchback Estate, with its refined design and advanced engineering, was a compelling choice for those seeking a distinctive and practical estate car, marking the beginning of a successful and influential chapter in Citreon's automotive history.
