@@Studio-ft1zi Correct,the XU family but given the links,sharing of components and co development between them,eventually evolving into what is known as PSA,it's a minor point really,how much input did Citroen have in the development?even a little sort of makes it theirs,as they see it. The DV4-6 engine range is/was used by around ten different manufacturers all claiming and naming them as their own.A Volvo salesman once actually tried to tell me that the engine in their S40 1.6 diesel B16 was better designed and more durable comparative to the 1.6 diesel in a focus,not realising that they are the same engine. I can't recall (too much wine😁)if Citroen ever claimed to call them Citroen engines,maybe someone could correct me?

@@notpoliticallycorrect1303 few years before they will start producing 605, as far as I know, Peugeot bought bigger part of the Citroen. They have used Peugeot 605 platform to make XM.

that citroen is cool, just think people pay a fortune for airbags and a kit to make their car go up and down these days. citroen were making their cars do it back in the 90s. i remember when they first came out i also remember the advert for them years ago i went in one and the ride comfort was superb you could barely feel any bumps in the road and with the bosch pump they run on wvo.
