The CITROËN CX Series 2: A Masterpiece of French Engineering
Introduced in 1985, the CITROËN CX Series 2 represented the pinnacle of French automotive design and engineering. It was a substantial departure from its predecessor, the CX Series 1, featuring a more aerodynamic and contemporary body style, advanced suspension technology, and a luxurious interior.
Exterior Design: A Symphony of Curves
The CX Series 2's striking exterior was characterized by its sleek and streamlined silhouette. The aerodynamic shape, with its low drag coefficient, reduced wind resistance and improved fuel efficiency. The sloping roofline complemented the car's elongated bonnet, giving it a distinctive and elegant profile.
The front fascia featured rectangular headlights and a large, chrome-surrounded grille. The lower grille and fog lights added a touch of aggression to the design. The side profile was highlighted by the prominent wheel arches, which accommodated larger wheels for improved handling and stability.
At the rear, the CX Series 2 exhibited a gently sloping trunk lid with a subtly integrated spoiler. The taillights were elongated and sleek, adding a touch of modernity to the car's overall aesthetics.
Interior: A Realm of Comfort and Refinement
The interior of the CX Series 2 was an oasis of comfort and refinement. The spacious cabin featured plush velvet seats, providing ample legroom and headroom for all occupants. The dashboard was elegantly designed, featuring a combination of analog and digital displays that provided comprehensive information to the driver.
The center console housed the climate control system, which offered precise temperature regulation and air distribution. The steering wheel was ergonomically designed, providing excellent grip and visibility. The door panels were adorned with wood grain accents, adding a touch of warmth and sophistication to the interior.
Suspension Technology: A Revolutionary Advance
One of the most remarkable aspects of the CX Series 2 was its advanced suspension system, known as the Hydractive II. This innovative technology combined gas and hydraulics to provide exceptional ride comfort and handling. The system automatically adjusted the suspension stiffness depending on the road conditions, offering a smooth and composed ride over rough surfaces.
The Hydractive II suspension also featured a self-leveling function, which maintained the car's ride height regardless of the load. This ensured optimal handling and stability, even when carrying heavy loads.
Powertrain: A Range of Capable Options
The CX Series 2 was available with a range of powerful and efficient engines. Diesel options included a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated unit and a 2.2-liter turbocharged engine. The 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine delivered 123 horsepower and 169 lb-ft of torque, while the 2.2-liter turbocharged engine produced 136 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque.
Gasoline engines included a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated unit and a 2.5-liter V6. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine generated 128 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque, while the 2.5-liter V6 produced 160 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque.
All engines were mated to a five-speed manual transmission or an optional four-speed automatic transmission.
Legacy: A Timeless Classic
The CITROËN CX Series 2 remained in production until 1991. It was a critical and commercial success, garnering praise for its innovative design, advanced suspension technology, and luxurious interior. Today, the CX Series 2 is considered a classic and is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts around the world.
Its legacy as a masterpiece of French engineering continues to inspire modern automotive designers and engineers, serving as a testament to the innovation and excellence that have defined the CITROËN brand for over a century.
