Citroën’s new Xsara five door will go on sale in late February with a new range clearly focused on comfort and luxury and with prices starting at $25,490.

“With the arrival of the Xsara Coupe to provide the performance versions of the Xsara, we have been able to clearly focus the five door version on luxury and comfort,” says Miles Williams, General Manager for Citroën in Australia. “The new five-door boasts a range of new features, from new refined engines to redesigned seats for added comfort. With the Coupe VTS providing the performance version in the range, the 2.0 litre version of Xsara five-door is now automatic only, with a new 102 kW engine providing effortless performance.”

New 2001 Xsara 5-door - rear With its bold new front and strong new tail treatment, the new Citroën Xsara five door is instantly recognizable and brings a new level of style to the Xsara that matches the changes that have been made under the skin to further enhance the Xsara’s reputation for cosseting its occupants.

The Xsara boasts two new engines with above class average outputs of 83 and 102 kW and a new automatic gearbox that uses the latest fuzzy logic adaptive technology. Conventional electrics have been ousted by the computer based multiplex system that both simplifies and speeds servicing and maintenance and enables the Xsara to offer a wider range of standard and optional electrical equipment and features.

Already a by-word for ride, handling and road holding, the 2001 Xsara’s on road abilities have been further enhanced with a wider track front and rear and the adoption of the 15 inch wheels. Even the stylish new teardrop headlights provide a practical advance for the Xsara. On both low and high beam they offer 20 per cent more light than their predecessors.

The new Xsara 2001 The 2001 Citroën Xsara five-door range consists of three versions, all with five doors and with a choice of both a five-speed manual and four-speed automatic gearbox mated to the new 1.6 litre 83 kW engine or the 2.0 litre 102 kW unit with the automatic gearbox as standard.

“The Citroën Xsara was already a benchmark car in its class,” says Miles Williams, General Manager for Citroën in Australia. “These host of changes enable the Xsara to match its competitors, not just in looks, but also feature for feature, and to further extend its enviable magic carpet ride quality reputation. We expect it to gain many new converts to Citroën in Australia.”
