The Citroën CX, produced from 1974 to 1991, was a revolutionary mid-size executive car that exemplified French automotive design and engineering prowess. It was a radical departure from the traditional boxy saloon cars of the era, boasting an aerodynamically sculpted body with a low drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.35. This streamlined form, achieved through extensive wind tunnel testing, resulted in exceptional fuel efficiency for its time. Further contributing to its advanced nature were features like a fully independent hydropneumatic suspension system, which offered unparalleled ride comfort and handling, and a spacious interior that prioritized passenger well-being with generous legroom and headroom. The CX's success solidified Citroën's reputation for innovation and daring, establishing it as a leader in the European automotive market.
The 1988-1991 model years saw the CX receive several refinements and updates. The most notable changes included the introduction of a new 2.5-liter turbocharged diesel engine, offering improved performance and fuel economy. The interior received upgraded materials and refinements, enhancing the car's premium feel. While production ceased in 1991, the CX left a lasting legacy, influencing subsequent Citroën models and inspiring generations of car enthusiasts with its unique blend of style, comfort, and technology. The 1988-1991 CX, with its sophisticated engineering and distinctive character, remains a prized vehicle among classic car collectors and enthusiasts, showcasing the ingenuity and elegance that characterized the French automotive industry during this period.
