The CITROEN XANTIA (1995-01) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 HDI FORTE is a roomy, five-door family hatchback from Citroën’s once-popular mainstream range. Now an older, discontinued car rather than a modern showroom rival, it offered a practical alternative to the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra and Peugeot 406, with a distinctive French character. The 2.0 HDi diesel suits longer journeys and regular commuting, while the generous cabin and hatchback boot make it useful for couples or small families needing affordable everyday transport. Xantias are especially remembered for their exceptionally comfortable ride, which feels more relaxed than many conventional family hatchbacks of the period; condition and maintenance matter greatly today.
