The Citroën Xsara is a model from the French car manufacturer Citroën .

It was presented in September 1997 and replaced the Citroën ZX . The Coupé followed in February 1998, and the Kombi Break came onto the market in April. In November 1999, another compact van was presented as the Xsara Picasso . In 2004 and 2010 the production of the model was stopped.

Body styles

The Xsara was available in four body versions:

  • five-door hatchback sedan (Berline; September 1997 to November 2004)
  • three-door hatchback sedan (Coupé; February 1998 to November 2004)
  • five-door station wagon ( Break ; April 1998 to May 2006)
  • five-door compact van (Xsara Picasso; November 1999 to January 2010)

  • Rear view

  • Citroën Xsara Coupé (1998-2000)

  • Citroën Xsara Break (1998-2006)

Equipment variants

  • X - basic equipment
  • PX - slightly better basic equipment
  • SX - sophisticated equipment
  • Exclusive - extended SX equipment
  • VTR - sporty, sophisticated equipment (Coupé only)
  • VTS - sport version (only Coupé)

Facelift

In October 2000, the Xsara was given a facelift . Above all, details have been changed. For example, the more modern headlights that have been pulled further back, a new chrome double-angle logo on the rear (which was not previously available), a larger chrome-plated double-angle logo on the radiator grille and the radio antenna moved from front to back to the rear.

From the beginning of 2001, the Xsara could also be ordered with the more powerful, Euro 3 certified diesel engine and an output of 80 kW (109 PS). The delivery to Germany began in May 2001.

The 120 kW (163 hp) VTS version was withdrawn from the range in mid-2002 .

Production of the sedan and the three-door model known as the "Coupé" ended in November 2004 in favor of the successor C4. The Break with the 80 kW 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 16 valves and the 66 kW diesel engine remained in the range until May 2006, as the C4 was not planned to be a station wagon and it continued to be an inexpensive car with a lot of utility.

The Xsara Picasso remained in the range until January 2010, although the C4 Picasso succeeded it in October 2006 .
