Citroën BX, a comfortable box-office hit

In the book “Citroën BX, a comfortable sales success,” author Thijs van der Zanden describes the history and background of the Citroën BX. You can say a lot about this Citroën, but not that it was a car without qualities. Citroën’s mid-size model excelled in comfort, handling, practicality, interior space, a competitive price, and lightweight construction. What’s more, the BX marked a huge step forward for Citroën in terms of quality. Its sharply defined body broke radically with all the brand’s design traditions, but with its futuristic dashboard, streamlined design, and hydropneumatic suspension, the BX was still a true Citroën.

Over the years, variants such as an estate, a version with an automatic transmission, various diesel models, and all kinds of sporty versions and special editions contributed to its continued success. Ultimately, the BX not only helped get struggling Citroën back on its feet, but also went down in history as one of the most successful Citroëns ever. This book about Citroën tells the complete history of the BX, including listings of available body colors, upholstery fabrics, price lists, and production figures. A must for every true enthusiast.
