Citroën CX

The Citroën CX is a prestige sedan that marked French automotive history from 1974 to 1997, incarnating the technological innovation and avant-garde design of the brand with the double chevron. Launched in 1974, the Citroën CX model experienced two major generations, revolutionizing the upper-intermediate sedan segment through its innovative architecture, notably its hydropneumatic suspension inherited from the legendary DS and its exceptional aerodynamicism for the time. The first generation (1974-1985) established itself as the direct competitor to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW Series 5, with a design signed by Giugiaro that makes it an automotive design icon, while successive Citroën CX generations consolidated this position with sophisticated four and six-cylinder engines and unparalleled ride comfort. The second version, produced from 1985 to 1997, refines the style for increased modernity and introduces precursor safety and comfort equipment, positioning the sedan as the pinnacle of accessible French luxury against German sedans. Its Citroën CX history sums up the peak of French engineering, combining pioneering handling with a true art of living on board, which explains the persistent demand in the used vehicle market for models in good condition and the timeless respect this model enjoys among collectors and automotive enthusiasts.
