## Citroën ZX: A Comprehensive Overview
The **Citroën ZX** is a compact hatchback car that was produced by the French automaker Citroën from 1991 to 1998. It was available in three- and five-door hatchback body styles, and was offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines.
The ZX was based on the platform of the Peugeot 306, and shared many of its mechanical components with that car. However, the ZX had a more distinctive styling than the 306, with a sloping roofline and a large, wraparound windscreen.
The ZX was a popular car in Europe, and was particularly successful in France, where it was the best-selling car in its class for several years. It was also exported to other markets around the world, including the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
The ZX was offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines, with the most popular being the 1.4-liter petrol engine and the 1.9-liter diesel engine. The ZX was also available with a range of trim levels, from the basic LX to the top-of-the-range Volcane.
The ZX was a well-equipped car for its time, and came with a range of features as standard, including power steering, central locking, and electric windows. The ZX was also praised for its handling and ride quality, and was considered to be one of the best-driving cars in its class.
The ZX was discontinued in 1998, and was replaced by the Citroën Xsara. However, the ZX remains a popular car with enthusiasts, and is still used by many people today.
