When the Citroën CX was presented to journalists in 1974, they were amazed at its aerodynamic shape and the clever combination of existing technologies. The CX was convincing without being revolutionary. The magazine 'hobby' was one of the first to make intensive contact with the newcomer and the first impression was so positive that 10 pages were devoted to it. This article reproduces the original wording of the early test report and shows the original CX model in many archive photos and in the original brochure.
As the driver of a Citroën CX 2200, you had to get used to being eyed from all sides. Read the 1975 test report to find out whether the car only looked futuristic or also had something to offer technically, and what happened to the exterior mirror of the test car at 150 km/h on the highway.

However, the puzzled faces were not justified, as it turned out that a diesel engine and the Citroën CX were a surprisingly good match. On the highway, a remarkable top speed - for a diesel - was measured. But is this enough for the Citroën CX Diesel to compete with the Mercedes-Benz 240 D? This test report from 1976 explains.
In August 1974, the Citroën CX, which would later become a long-running model, made its debut. It was built for 15 years, even longer as a station wagon. We drove one of the first series from 1981.
The Citroën CX celebrates its 40th birthday in 2014. Hardly any other car from the 1970s still looks as fresh and modern today as the unconventional French car. The CX was built for 17 years as a saloon and break, always equipped with four-cylinder engines and hydropneumatics. This vehicle report describes the history of the CX model and shows a CX 25 GTi in many current pictures and other variants in historical pictures.
