Citroën Xsara Hatchback boot space, practicality and safety

2000 - 2004 (change model)
Practicality rating: 3 out of 53.0

Written by Parkers Published: 6 June 2019 Updated: 6 June 2019

Three-star Euro NCAP rating for the old-shape model, but post-1998 cars have a stronger bodyshell. ABS, passenger and side airbags on all models. Immobiliser standard across the range, alarm on SX upwards.

Reasonable boot space for the class, and it’s easy to get to. Very few storage areas and lacks innovation of recent Citroëns.
