Citroën BX – the Bertone-styled mid-size car of the 1980s as a Dutch commercial-vehicle registration, including the Break estate, 1.6 to 1.9 litres, 51 kW
The Citroën BX replaced the GS in 1982 and was built in Rennes until 1994; its angular design came from Bertone, the hydropneumatic suspension provided, as with all Citroën models of the era, self-levelling and high ride comfort, and with plastic body panels front and rear the BX was known for its low weight. As with the larger C5, BX Break estate versions with the rear seat removed were also registered in the Netherlands as light commercial vehicles, recognisable by the suffixes 'Break' and 'Service' in the vehicle designations on this page.

The register lists here 13 versions with an output of 51 kW from four-cylinders of 1,580 to 1,905 cm³, unladen weights from 920 to 1,129 kg, gross weights from 1,420 to 1,629 kg, a length of 4,400 mm and widths from 1,660 to 1,680 mm.
The BX was one of Citroën's most successful models of the 1980s and today ranks among the brand's sought-after youngtimers; the light commercial versions of the Break served tradespeople and small businesses of the time who benefited from the tax saving over passenger cars.
On used examples, rust on sills, wheel arches and the underbody counts, along with the condition of the suspension's hydraulic pump and spheres, the timing belt on the petrol engines, and the longevity of the diesels when well maintained; parts for the BX are no longer fully available through Citroën but are well obtainable through specialist youngtimer dealers.
