Citroën Xantia Hatchback (93-01) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 Jan 1993 Last Updated: 26 Feb 2013 3 Xantia is something of an oddity. A rather forgettable ownership experience awaits those lucky enough not to suffer reliability problems. Summary Driving & Performance Equipment Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Owners' Reviews Also Consider Facts & Figures Company Car Info Gallery Comfortable and refined; fast but frugal turbo-diesels Patchy reliability; complicated suspension New price range: £11,545 - £22,780 Used price range: £180 - £1,263 View all used prices Summary Parkers Rating: 3 out of 5 Xantia is something of an oddity. A rather forgettable ownership experience awaits those lucky enough not to suffer reliability problems. It does redeem itself with hydropneumatic suspension which gives a superb ride and there's plenty of space inside. However it doesn't have the character of Citroëns of old and will require specialist servicing to keep it on the road.
