Vehicle Description

The CX was intended to fit between the GS and DS ranges, and was quite literally exceptional value for money when you consider the engineering beauty of what was on offer. The moniker “CX” was taken from the symbol for the aerodynamics of a moving body, which was especially apt for this car because of its exceptional coefficient of frontal penetration, 11 per cent better than that of the legendary DS. All models had transversely arranged versions of the four-cylinder DS engines driving the front wheels. Understanding the brilliance of a Citroen required more than a trip to the local shops. On rough roads the CX would excel, and where the suspension of most conventional cars would make taking such roads at speed very unsafe, the CX in contrast would simply glide over them with hardly a ripple felt through the luxurious padding of the seats. Apart from the SM there was no car in the world which was so comfortable under such extremes of conditions.
