The CITROEN XSARA (1997-04) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 SX AUTO4 is a compact, five-door family hatchback from Citroën’s late-1990s range. Its automatic gearbox makes town driving straightforward, while the roomy hatchback layout offers everyday practicality without the size or running-cost expectations of a larger car. It sits among mainstream used small family cars. mycarcheck.com has recorded just two look-ups for this exact version, covering one distinct vehicle, so these figures are a very small snapshot rather than a reliable guide to all Xsaras. In those checks, average private-sale valuation was £300, recorded mileage averaged 34,000, annual mileage 1,000, and previous keepers averaged two. It may suit commuters or small households wanting an affordable, easy-to-park automatic for local trips, though buyers should check condition and service history carefully. Compared with contemporaries such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra, it offers a less common Citroën alternative; its five-door format remains its appeal.
