Interesting facts about the CITROËN DS 21 BREAK
The Citroën DS 21 Break, which was launched in 1958 as the estate version of the legendary ‘Goddess’, revolutionised the market thanks to its exceptional practicality for everyday use combined with the luxurious ride comfort of the hydropneumatic suspension. To this day, it is regarded as one of the most fascinating estate cars in automotive history.
The different versions of the DS estate cars
COMMERCIALE
5-seater with folding rear bench seat, horizontally split tailgate
BREAK
7-seater – same as the COMMERCIALE but with an additional 2 folding seats positioned transversely to the direction of travel, behind the rear bench seat in the boot.
FAMILIALE
7 or 8-seater – the rear bench seat is narrower (2 people) and mounted further back between the wheel arches. This reduces the boot space. The ‘Break folding seats’ in the boot are omitted. Instead, 3 individual folding seats are fitted directly behind the two front seats (2-3-2), or behind a continuous front bench seat (3-3-2) (facing the direction of travel). Depending on whether individual front seats or a front bench seat were ordered ex-works, the number of seats varies between 7 and 8.
The estate version was launched in 1958 as the DS 19, whilst the model designation DS 21 BREAK was used for the largest engine variant of the time, with 100 hp from 1965 and 104 hp from 1966.
Unlike classic estates of the time, the focus was on high ride comfort and versatility. The car offered a massive load volume of up to 2, 000 litres and, as an option, two additional fold-down emergency seats in the rear.
Thanks to the innovative hydropneumatic suspension with automatic leveling, the Break smoothed out every bump even when fully loaded (up to seven people plus luggage). The body could be raised for off-road use or lowered for loading and unloading.
The four-cylinder engine initially delivered 104 PS. From 1969, the fuel-injection system (Injection Electronique) delivered a noticeable power increase to 120 PS, enabling the large estate to reach up to 175 km/ h.
