The Citroen CX remains one of the most distinctive executive cars ever built, and a fascinating choice for enthusiasts browsing Automotive Superstore for parts, accessories and maintenance essentials. Launched in 1974 as the successor to the legendary DS, the CX carried forward Citroen’s reputation for innovation with its hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension, aerodynamic fastback shape and wonderfully futuristic cabin. Its name even refers to the French term for drag coefficient, highlighting the car’s slippery design. Whether in sedan, wagon or long-wheelbase Prestige form, the CX delivered a famously smooth ride that made rough roads feel almost polished.

Under the bonnet, the CX offered a range of petrol and diesel engines, including the later turbocharged variants that gave the car genuine long-distance pace. Its DIRAVI power steering, which self-centred with remarkable precision, became one of its most memorable features. The CX was also named European Car of the Year in 1975, cementing its place as a technical landmark. It became a favourite among French officials, business leaders and artists, with its sleek profile often seen outside government buildings and film studios.

Today, the Citroen CX is appreciated as a cult classic that rewards careful upkeep. From filters, lubricants and brake components to detailing products and workshop tools, Automotive Superstore helps owners and admirers keep this bold French icon feeling as special as it looked when new.
