Summary

After a hesitant start, the Citroën GS enjoyed an upward trend on the German market in the first half of 1975. The GS-X in particular, launched in October 1974, brought a significant upturn. Shortly afterwards, the GS-X2 was added with 63 (instead of 54) hp. The differences between the two engines and whether the Citroën GS still had a special position in its class can be found in the test report from that time.

Preview (beginning of the article)

After a hesitant start four years earlier, the Citroën GS recorded an upward trend on the German market in the first half of 1975. The GS-X in particular, launched in October 1974, brought a significant upturn. The GS-X2 with 63 (instead of 54) hp was added a few months ago. What are the differences between the two engines? Does the Citroën GS still have a special position in its class? In the fall of 1974, Deutsche Citroën sent the GS-X into the sales race with a price bang: DM 8200 as the target price for a well-equipped four-door was an unrivaled low offer at the time. Since then, the price has risen sharply in three jumps. Since August 20, 1975, the Citroën GS-X has been listed at DM 10,390, which corresponds to a price increase of a hefty 25.5 percent in just under a year.
