Description

Perhaps the most charismatic of French marques, Citron was established in 1919 by the brilliant Andr Citron. In 1934 Citron introduced the Traction Avant model, one of the most famous designs in automobile history. In 1948, on a similar theme, the two-cylinder 2CV appeared, a much-loved model with a distinctive roll-back roof; it was built until 1990. Then there were the elegant DS, the luxurious Maserati-engined SM and the acclaimed XM. This edition brings the story up to date with the popular Xsara saloon, the Picasso compact multi-purpose vehicle and the commodious and comfortable C5.
