citroen ax

Citroen started the production of AX in 1986 and its production was stopped 12 years later in 1998. The first time it was launched in a Paris Motor Show in 1986. At first, Citroen decided to launch it as a three door hatchback and it was a huge success because of excellent aerodynamics as compared to its class and price. Shortly afterwards, a five door model was introduced which had an unusually long wheel travel and it was commercialized by a really famous TV advertising campaign.

It underwent the first facelifting phase in 1991 and the much maligned dashboard was replaced by a more conservative design. There were other minor changes and they were presented as the derivatives in the coming years. Citroen also decided to launch Talbot Samba replacement as a version of the AX a few years later. However, it didn’t happen as the entire Talbot marque was axed in the same year the AX was launched.
