Шины на Citroen Xantia (Ситроен)

The Citroen Xantia was produced in series from 1993 to 2001, occupying a key place in the European segment of mid-class family cars. The model was created as a technologically more advanced successor to the Citroen BX and at the same time as a demonstration of the company's engineering philosophy, based on a combination of comfort, non-standard technical solutions, and well-thought-out ergonomics. The main advantages were the new generation hydro-pneumatic suspension, high level of equipment, and an unusually smooth ride, thanks to which the car stood out favorably from many of its competitors of the time, such as the Volkswagen Passat B4, Ford Mondeo Mk1, and Opel Vectra B.

Update of the predecessor's concept

The car became a direct successor to the famous Citroen BX and at the same time one of the most technically saturated cars in the European D-class of its time. The novelty was developed as a more solid and technologically complex alternative to its predecessor: the body became wider and more rigid, aerodynamics improved, and the level of equipment increased significantly.
The design was created by the Bertone studio. Unlike the angular styling of the BX, the lines of the Xantia became softer and more plastic. The low hood, smooth roof line, and compact stern gave the silhouette dynamics, and the coefficient of aerodynamic resistance was reduced to 0.30 — a respectable figure for a mid-1990s family sedan. The body was produced in 5-door liftback and station wagon Break versions, the latter appearing slightly later.

The body frame received reinforced deformation zones and a more developed structure of power elements. Already in the basic configuration, the car was equipped with ABS, and in more expensive versions, front airbags and advanced passive safety systems appeared.

The model's "visiting card"

The main engineering feature was the company's proprietary hydro-pneumatic suspension Hydractive of the 2nd iteration. The design used spherical pressure accumulators, hydraulic fluid LHM, and electronic stiffness control. This scheme allowed automatically regulating the car's clearance depending on the load and road conditions. In normal mode, the suspension worked as softly as possible, providing the characteristic "floating" smoothness of the ride. During active maneuvering, the electronics switched the system to a more rigid mode, reducing body roll. On Hydractive II versions, the system's response occurred almost instantly thanks to steering position, speed, and longitudinal acceleration sensors.

A special place in the range was occupied by the Activa modification. It was equipped with an active system for stabilizing transverse tilts SC.CAR, which could almost completely eliminate body lean in turns. The car set a record for passing the "elk test" among serial cars, demonstrating a level of stability that remained a benchmark for many years.

Interior and equipment

The interior was developed with an emphasis on ergonomics and comfort of long trips. The front panel received a characteristic architecture for the brand with large keys and well-readable instruments. Already in the basic versions, soft trim materials were used, and more expensive trim levels offered velour or leather upholstery. The list of equipment included air conditioning, electric windows, central locking, adjustable steering column, and audio system. In top-end versions, climate control, heated seats, on-board computer, and electric seat adjustments were installed.

Wheel disks and tires for this car usually have a landing diameter from 14 to 16 inches, depending on the modification and year of production. Correctly selected tires allow fully revealing the comfort of the hydro-pneumatic suspension and ensuring stable behavior of the car on the road. It is convenient to select optimal options in the "Mosavtoshina" online store, where solutions for various operating conditions are presented.

Advantages of selecting tires for Citroen Xantia on our website:

- a large number of tire models from different manufacturers allows selecting a variant that optimally corresponds to the owner's driving style, seasonality, and budget;
- 14-, 15-, and 16-inch cast and stamped disks of various designs are always available, which makes it easy to find a solution that suits both the parameters and the appearance of the car;
- a convenient filter by parameters helps quickly determine compatible wheel sizes and select suitable options without unnecessary time costs;
- employees will help clarify the technical parameters of wheels and tires, which reduces the risk of error and makes the purchase as rational as possible.
