CITROËN AUSTRALIA

In terms of dynamic comfort, the Citroën Xsara reflects the values that the marque has always considered to be essential. The running gear is designed to combine comfort and performance, with high quality suspension and efficient damping.

The self steering rear axle is fitted with upgraded elastic shims to filter out minor irregularities on the road surface for a smoother ride.

All the Xsara models are equipped with 'green' tyres that generate less road noise than conventional tyres and offer a better grip. Their main advantage, however, is to cut rolling resistance by some 15%, resulting in a drop in fuel consumption of around 5% on average.

The high quality fabrics and materials are a delight to touch, while the flawless fit of each part was the focus of specific attention. The design of the seats and the choice of foam provides just the right degree of support, either too firm or too soft. The driver's footrest - standard throughout the range - brings an additional touch of comfort to the vehicle.

Easy seat adjustment simplifies life on board and increases the well being of the occupants.

Acoustics were a major priority in specifications. All possible steps have been taken to maximise comfort. Specific studies were conducted on vehicle vibration, suspension damping and vibration at idle speed.

The computer designed acoustically engineered floor pan optimises the damping of the low frequency noise.

The mats are foam backed in order to limit the transmission of outside noises to the vehicle interior.
