Citroën AX Phase 1 1986 - 1991

The Citroën AX is an iconic city car born in 1986, which marked the Citroën AX story through its revolutionary approach to the small urban car segment, seducing millions of motorists in Europe and beyond. Launched as a replacement for the Académie, this small French car spanned two major generations until its withdrawal in 1998, embodying the alliance between affordable pricing and technological innovation that Citroën offered. The Citroën AX model was built around a clear philosophy: offer a compact, nimble and economical vehicle, equipped with impressive interior space solutions thanks to the chevron brand's expertise in habitability. Throughout the Citroën AX generations, the model benefited from progressive improvements in comfort, safety and engines, with petrol engines from 954 to 1527 cc offering remarkable versatility for its time. Positioned directly against the Peugeot 106 and first-generation Renault Clio, the AX successfully built customer loyalty through its city maneuverability and cleverly designed trunk, making the Citroën AX technical specification an essential reference in the automotive archives of the 1980s and 1990s. Its legacy endures today among collectors and enthusiasts who recognize in this city car the roots of Citroën's expertise in intelligent and accessible design.
