Citroën Xantia – the Break estate versions of the mid-size range (1993-2001) registered as light commercials: 1.9 and 2.1-litre turbodiesels, 66 to 80 kW, Hydractive suspension
The Citroën Xantia was the French manufacturer's mid-size saloon and estate, succeeding the BX and preceding the later C5, built from 1993 to 2001 at the Rennes plant. The versions listed in the register under vehicle class N1 are exclusively Break estates, registered as commercial vehicles in some markets because of their load area. A defining feature of the Xantia was its Hydractive hydropneumatic suspension, combining the classic Citroën self-levelling system with electronically controlled damping, standard or optional.

The register lists 6 versions with 66 to 80 kW from 1,905 to 2,080 cm³ displacement and four cylinders, kerb weights of 1,340 to 1,504 kg, gross vehicle weights of 1,960 to 2,010 kg, a length of 4,710 mm and a width of 1,760 mm.
The turbodiesel variants listed here, with 1.9 and 2.1-litre engines, targeted high-mileage drivers and business customers wanting the estate's large load area combined with low fuel consumption; registered as an N1 estate, the Xantia Break competed with the Peugeot 406 Break and Renault Laguna Grandtour in the estate light-commercial segment.
When buying a used Xantia, the Hydractive suspension is the main focus: the spheres, high-pressure pump and LDS height corrector should be checked for leaks and correct operation. Also check the turbodiesels' injection pump and turbocharger, along with rust on sills and wheel arches; suspension and electrical parts are generally well supplied through independent Citroën specialists.
