Designed by auto stylist Robert Opron, Mechanically, the car was one of the most modern of its time, combining Citroën's unique hydro-pneumatic integral self-leveling suspension, speed-adjustable DIRAVI power steering (first introduced on the Citroën SM), and a unique interior design that did away with steering column stalks, allowing the driver to reach all controls with his or her hands on the steering wheel. The suspension was attached to sub frames that were fitted to the body through flexible mountings, improving ride quality and reducing road noise
The CX had a tranversly mounted engine.
The itroduction of the 2.5 litre Turbo Diesel engine in 1983 made it the fastest diesel powered saloon in the world with a top speed of 121mph.
The Break estate ("Safari" in the United Kingdom), was produced from 1975 until 1991 joined by the seven-seat Familiale, both, with increased load capacity (baggage; equipment; passengers), taking full advantage of the CX's self-levelling suspension.
A number of CX estates were elongated and retrofitted with a second rear axle, mostly used for high speed bulk transport such as carrying newspapers across Europe. They are known as the "loadrunner" variant. Most of them were prepared by the French company Tissier.
This is probably not an original Tissier conversion, and has a resembleance to the CX Ambulace Conversions, i spotted it at the Donington M1-M42 Service Area. It was on route with its Finnish owners from Finland to the 2012 International Citroen Gathering near Harrogate, Yorkshire
