Citroën Xantia Hatchback boot space, practicality and safety

1993 - 2001 (change model)
Practicality rating: 3.5 out of 53.5

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

Only scored two stars in the Euro NCAP tests. A driver’s airbag was fitted from 1994 onwards and a passenger airbag was optional. ABS was standard fit on higher spec models whilst most had deadlocks and a keypad immobiliser. Later models also had an alarm.

The Xantia hatchback offers a decent boot with scope to carry larger items by lowering the rear seatbacks. A very roomy estate version is also available for those who need more carrying space.
