The Citroën BX was a compact executive car manufactured by the French automaker Citroën from 1983 to 1993. It replaced the Citroën GSA and was known for its innovative design, aerodynamic shape, and hydropneumatic suspension. The BX was offered in a variety of body styles, including a 3-door hatchback, a 5-door hatchback, and a 4-door saloon. It was powered by a range of petrol and diesel engines, ranging from 1.4 to 1.9 liters in displacement. The BX was a popular car in Europe and was praised for its handling, ride comfort, and fuel efficiency.
The BX was renowned for its innovative hydropneumatic suspension system, a hallmark of Citroën vehicles. This system used pressurized hydraulic fluid to control the car's ride height and suspension stiffness, offering exceptional comfort and handling. The system also provided self-leveling capabilities, ensuring a consistent ride height regardless of the load. The BX was a technological tour-de-force, featuring features like a flush-fitting door handles and a rear window that could be opened independently of the tailgate. The BX's aerodynamic design was a major contributing factor to its success, with a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.34, making it one of the most aerodynamic cars of its time. Although production ended in 1993, the BX remains a coveted classic car, appreciated for its unique design, innovative technology, and comfortable driving experience.
