The Citroen Xantia, produced from 1993 to 1998, was a mid-size family car that aimed to blend comfort, practicality, and innovation. It was the successor to the BX and offered a spacious interior, a versatile trunk, and a distinctive design language that carried forward Citroen’s commitment to avant-garde styling. The Xantia was known for its innovative hydropneumatic suspension system, inherited from the BX, which provided exceptional ride comfort and handling capabilities. This system, using fluid-filled spheres and pressurized nitrogen, offered adjustable ride height and self-leveling abilities, ensuring a smooth and stable experience regardless of road conditions. The Xantia was also notable for its safety features, including a robust passenger compartment, crumple zones, and an active safety system named "Hydractive," designed to enhance steering and stability. The Xantia came equipped with a range of petrol and diesel engines, catering to a diverse range of driving needs. The petrol engines included the 1.6-liter, 1.8-liter, and 2.0-liter units, while the diesel selection featured 1.9-liter and 2.1-liter options. The Xantia was available in multiple trim levels, offering varying levels of comfort and features. These trims included the basic X, the sportier VSX, and the luxurious SX. While the Xantia was praised for its comfort and handling, it was also criticized for its complexity, particularly the hydropneumatic suspension, which required specialized maintenance. The Xantia was a distinctive and innovative vehicle that captured the essence of Citroen's commitment to advanced technology and individualistic design. Its smooth ride, spacious cabin, and unique suspension system made it a popular choice for those seeking a comfortable and stylish family car, while its robust safety features assured peace of mind.
