The Citroën Xantia is a mid-size car produced by the French automaker Citroën from 1993 to 2002. It replaced the BX and was initially available as a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, a four-door saloon, and a station wagon (called "Break" by Citroën). The Xantia was known for its innovative features, including its unique hydropneumatic suspension system, which provided a remarkably comfortable ride and excellent handling. Its design was also praised for its clean lines and aerodynamic profile. The Xantia was available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, including the iconic 1.9-litre naturally-aspirated diesel engine. The Citroën Xantia was a critical and commercial success, winning numerous awards for its design, technology, and driving experience. It was particularly praised for its spacious interior, generous luggage capacity, and its ability to handle a variety of road conditions with ease. The Xantia's sophisticated suspension system was a key selling point, providing an exceptionally comfortable and refined ride. However, this also made the Xantia less mechanically reliable than some of its contemporaries. It was also criticized for its relatively high purchase price compared to some of its competitors. Despite these drawbacks, the Citroën Xantia remains a highly sought-after classic car known for its distinctive design, advanced technology, and comfortable ride.
