Description of the Real Model
The Citroën Saxo was launched in 1996 to replace the aging AX in the French manufacturer's range. Built on the first-generation PSA platform shared with the Peugeot 106, it embodied Citroën's new approach to city cars, favoring a more modern design and enhanced features.
This three-door city car stood out with its tight and sporty lines, featuring almond-shaped headlights and a dynamic silhouette contrasting with the more conservative style of its predecessors. The Saxo offered an extensive engine range, from economical 1.0 and 1.1 petrol versions to sporty 1.6 16V variants, including diesel engines particularly appreciated for their efficiency.
The commercial success was immediate, as the Saxo quickly established itself as one of the favorite city cars among young European drivers. Its ease of handling, affordable price, and customization options turned it into a generational phenomenon that transcended French borders.
History of the Citroën Brand
In the mid-1990s, Citroën was undergoing a deep renewal of its range. After the difficult early years of the decade, the chevron-badged manufacturer focused on recapturing popular segments with more conventional models while preserving its DNA of innovation and originality.
This period marked the consolidation of the alliance with Peugeot within the PSA group, enabling significant technical synergies such as platform sharing. The Saxo perfectly illustrated this new strategy: benefiting from economies of scale while asserting Citroën's unique stylistic identity. This approach allowed the manufacturer to regain significant market shares, particularly among a young clientele attracted by the bold design and appealing prices of these new models.
An Icon of 90s Youth Culture
The Citroën Saxo quickly surpassed its status as a mere city car to become a true cultural phenomenon by the late 1990s. It was notably one of the most favored cars among young drivers for
Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
