A revolutionary model in automotive history

The Citroën CX made its debut in 1974 to succeed the iconic DS. Designed under the direction of Robert Opron, this sedan features a futuristic design that perfectly embodies the spirit of innovation characteristic of the brand with the chevrons. Its name comes from its unusually low drag coefficient (Cx) for the time, reflecting the attention given to aerodynamics. The vehicle is immediately distinguished by its svelte silhouette and taut lines, breaking with traditional aesthetic codes. The CX benefits from Citroën's hydropneumatic suspension, ensuring exceptional ride comfort, along with remarkable technical innovations such as the DIRAVI power steering. This revolutionary sedan even won the prestigious title of European Car of the Year 1975, attesting to its technical and stylistic excellence. Its commercial success spans nearly two decades, with over 1.2 million units produced, confirming public approval of this avant-garde vision of the French automobile.

Citroën: technological boldness serving innovation

During the 70s, Citroën experienced a period of intense creativity despite facing financial difficulties leading to its acquisition by Peugeot in 1976. The CX paradoxically represents the culmination of this creativity, demonstrating the brand’s ability to completely rethink conventional automobiles. Founded in 1919 by André Citroën, the brand has always been distinguished by its revolutionary approach to automobiles. From the Traction Avant to the DS, and the 2CV, Citroën has constantly challenged conventions. The CX naturally fits within this lineage of innovations, carrying the technical and stylistic legacy of its illustrious predecessors into new horizons. This period marks the golden age of French engineering, where technical boldness takes precedence over purely commercial considerations.
