Description
Citroën XM V6 VSX – 1996 – manual gearbox – 129, 300 km
For sale: 1996 XM V6 VSX in Vega Green with Savanna leather interior — an elegant and cohesive combination with that "grand tourer à la française" charm.
This is the top-spec VSX version, powered by the PRV 3. 0 V6 with 12 valves producing 170 bhp, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox — a considerably rarer configuration than the automatic version, and highly valued by enthusiasts for its driving engagement. This PRV engine is renowned for its robustness, and its chain-driven camshaft means no periodic cambelt replacement required: one less maintenance headache and worry.
Key points and servicing
• Hydraactive suspension: spheres recently replaced, ride height maintained, no LHM leaks
• Chain-driven camshaft (no cambelt to worry about)
• MOT completed January 2026
• Tyres in good condition
• Third owner, 129, 219 km
VSX specification
Leather upholstery, wood trim, air conditioning, variable-assistance power steering, Hydraactive suspension — all the refinement of Citroën's top-spec models from that era.
Condition
Sound bodywork, deep paint characteristic of the dark green. Leather interior in original condition, with the patina befitting its age (visible in photos, described without concealment). The car rides and settles correctly (Hydraactive fully functional).
Built in 1996, it now qualifies for classic vehicle registration — a bonus for anyone wishing to register it as such.
Price: €10, 500 negotiable. Viewable in the Le Havre area (76), test drive available.
I stumbled upon this car by chance and bought it because it was in excellent condition inside and out. Beyond the smooth and powerful engine coupled with a manual gearbox (very few examples with manual transmission), the all-Savanna leather interior is genuinely quite rare and absolutely stunning.
