The Citroën XM, produced from 1989 to 1999, was a flagship luxury saloon that represented a significant leap forward for the French automaker. Designed to compete with the likes of Mercedes-Benz and BMW, the XM's bold styling and innovative technology set it apart. Its sharp, angular lines, penned by Italian designer Marcello Gandini, showcased a distinctive aerodynamic profile with a low drag coefficient. The XM's interior, characterized by a spacious and comfortable cabin, incorporated advanced features like a digital instrument cluster and a unique "hydronic" suspension system. This system, combining hydraulics with electronic control, offered exceptional ride comfort and handling capabilities.

The XM was available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, including the potent 3.0-litre V6 and the powerful 2.1-litre turbocharged diesel. Its advanced technology extended beyond the suspension, incorporating features like active cruise control, automatic headlight leveling, and a head-up display. The XM was praised for its refined ride, sharp handling, and luxurious interior. Although its complex technology and unusual design attracted both praise and criticism, the XM firmly established Citroën as a serious contender in the premium automotive segment. Despite its impressive innovations, the XM struggled to achieve the sales success of its German competitors, ultimately being replaced by the C6 in 2006. However, its legacy continues to fascinate automotive enthusiasts, who appreciate its daring design, technological advancements, and unique driving experience.
